This film is the story of a desperate act and it's protagonist. The story jumps between the dramatic kidnapping of a line bus in Rio and the past of the perpetrator Sandro. Avoiding moral...
While living in Rio I once asked my Marine Corps buddy Paul Y- why he thought Brazil never could get ahead. He pondered for a moment then said: "Brazil is the only country that respects...
Hotel manager Lisa (Rachel McAdams) is on the red eye flight home after attending her grandmother's funeral. She is seated next to a young man named Jackson (Cillian Murphy from 28 Days Later and...
Though it begins inventively and features a creepy Cillian Murphy, Red Eye quickly degrades into just about the most formulaic thriller you can imagine; look elsewhere...
I didn't know what this movie was all about befroe I watched it. I thought it was a supernatural thriller of some sort. I was actually intrigued when the plot started unfolding, I was thinking...
***1/2 1948. Directed by William Keighley. In Center City, Richard Widmark's gang has killed innocent people during its two last hold-ups. FBI agent Gene Cordell is asked by Insp. George A. Briggs...
This wooden and disappointing film resembles an episode of the old Dragnet show, but not in a good way. Antiquated crime fighting techniques are demonstrated, al la CSI, and the virtues of the FBI...
Don't Say a Word is a confusing suspense film. There is absolutely no logic from the criminals perspective or anyone else for that matter. Michael Douglas looks so bored in this, his weakest...
Don't Say A Word is a very good thriller. Michael Douglas in the lead plays a father who has to ge ta number from a crazed mental patient to help save his daughter. The film has very good acting...
I found this show was a good thriller. Brittany Murphy does a great job playing a "disturbed" girl and Michael Douglas does a good job playing her psychiatrist. Murphy's character pretends to be...
This film illustrates Duvall's passion for and interest in Dancing. He has (briefly) danced before in film but here Tango is to the fore. Forget the "hit-man" plot it's not worth the...
I purchased this upon the recommendation of a friend who is just learning tango and based upon a general Amazon rating of 3 stars--I wish that I had bothered to look at the detailed breakdown of...
Sequel to the crazy fun look at the sex life of cave mens first encounter with the opposite sex. "When Women Had Tails" Silly and suggestive. Thought it was a good laugh so I got this one as well....
The only redeeming factors of this film were the lead, Brian White, the female lead (aka bad girl) and antagonist. Those 3 actors save a pretty weak story and one of the worst endings I've ever...
I love Brian White in anything he is in because I love looking at him and find myself not really paying attention to whats going on but this movie has a good plot and twist and the first time you...
For the Trois series to be low budget films, I enjoyed the first two. However, The Escort did not do anything for me. It was an ok movie, but I felt that it was missing something that I can't quite...
The pattern of the previous films of this series by Ms Clark is partly broken. The main character is not a radio anchorwoman but a female real estate agent. We are not dealing here with a serial...
Give Tom Berenger a Chance; He Deserves a Better Film Than This Badly Told B-Movie
For those who still remember the terrific acting of Tom Berenger in Oliver Stone's 'Platoon,' it is painful to watch him in 'Sniper 3' (which is also set in Vietnam). Not that the film is a...
This time around Thomas Beckett is sent out by NSA to track down and kill a druglord in Vietnam who happens to be his good friend whom he fought alongside in the war. Beckett is in for surprises...
This was a movie that I couldn't wait to end. It was long and rather depressing and certainly not up to our expectations of a Helen Mirren movie. Prime Suspect series were great but this one...
Take equal parts WALL STREET and THE RECRUIT,sprinkle with DEVIL'S ADVOCATE and you pretty much have this movie. Entertaining? Sure. Worth a DVD rental or the $3.99 buy price I got it for?...
Pacino and McConaughey are very good in this tale about men who predict the outcome of sports events and the morons who believe someone can do this! If you don't like gambling & profanity don't...
It was painful we had to stop watching this because of the constant profanity. My husband and I started getting a headache and could not enjoy the movie. We don't gamble and we don't use bad...
Very rarely do movies catch a book's essence but in this case a thief in time does just that. While it can not capture all of the principal characters or go into the details of the book, this movie...
Personally, I found this film ... out of the current films based on Tony Hillerman's books the best of the films! However, I suggest anyone thinking about buying ... and not having seen any of the...
Do not watch this movie with anyone who is finance savvy. They will be bored since they can tell that the entire story plot is fake. Some snippets of the finance modelling and chaos theory are...
This refreshing movie is a thriller with no physical violence. The hero doesn't try to win the day by punching or shooting. Instead, he uses his intelligence and creativity. One of the main ideas...
Jean Renoir's moody adaptation of Emile Zola's book features one of Gabin's seminal pre-war performances, and an arresting turn by the sexy Simon (who'd venture stateside four years later to make...
Jean Renoir made his version of Zola's novel. What is fun here is the fabulous sights we see while on the train thru France. Beatiful b&w photography, mind you.
Maybe I've seen one too many contrived, confusing, gimmicky, stylish movies about crooks and conmen shooting it out with each other (more like fifty too many), but I found Confidence to be yet...
A French psychological thriller with several stories to tell and a happy, violent, ending
The English title on the Region 2 release does a much better job of luring us into this stylish French thriller, part psychological study and part ensemble suspense story. Betty Fisher and Other...
