Overrated/Underrated

The cast of Doug Liman’s ‘Go’: Sure, it’s easy to dismiss some of the ‘90s cliches that pepper this action-comedy and IFC fixture, such as the casual flashes of violence and a Tarantino-esque narrative hopscotch. But this twitchy rave-romp is still a blast thanks to a solid ensemble, which includes “Justified’s” Timothy Olyphant, sad-eyed future auteur Sarah Polley, the ever-creepy William Fichtner and – hey, look! – a pre-tabloid Katie Holmes. Oh, 1999.

Trent Reznor’s score for ‘The Social Network’: While we’re still surprised a film about the birth of Facebook could be so engrossing, the icy and occasionally dissonant electronic burbles and beats from the Nine Inch Nails mastermind and co-writer Atticus Ross stole a few scenes all by themselves. Coloring the film with ominous atmosphere and a kinetic drive equal to the film’s over-caffienated pace, Reznor proves he doesn’t need lyrics to tell a story.

The sprawl of Arcade Fire’s ‘The Suburbs’: Not to hold up this band’s journey to canonization via near-universal critical acclaim, but as much an improvement as this record is after the murky “Neon Bible,” it’s not as flawless as the hype. While the highs are higher than Win Butler and Co. have ever gone before, the album grows repetitive over 16 songs. A fine listen, sure, but it’s hard not to wonder how great it could have been with a little editing.

The aftermath of ‘Arrested Development’: It’s a testament to Mitchell Hurwitz’s deranged creation that subsequent TV comedies just can’t follow in its footsteps. Keri Russel is simply overmatched by Will Arnett’s lunacy in Hurwitz’s disappointing follow-up, “Running Wilde,” and David Cross’ “The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret” treats its title character’s cluelessness with unfunny cruelty. Can’t that rumored reunion movie just happen already?
