The Sting
Perfect 66 Points 1973

Perfection: The opening music sets a movielover’s heart aflutter and The Sting just gets better from there. A Scott Joplin rag – brilliantly slowed down by Marvin Hamlisch – leads to Robert Redford and Paul Newman, reunited a mere four years after they first got together in "Butch Cassidy and t…

Perfect 2 Points 1999

MY NUMBER THREE!!! First off, Matt Damon at his best. Long before the Bourne movies, Matt was already star. This movie is so complex, and so original. I find myself wondering what it would be like to have be in the situation that Tom Ripley was forced into. Matt Damon, Jude Law, Philip Seym…

The Third Man
Good 66 Points 1949

Classic film noir doesn’t necessarily age well, The Third Man a case in point, cool cover notwithstanding. Slow and stilted by contemporary standards, it nonetheless deserves its status as a benchmark of the genre, if not the perfect rating so many give it. Most intriguingly, it would make a …

The Town
Very Good 92 Points 2010

The Town – a beefy treat for fans of crime drama from Ben Affleck, now a writer-director-star triple threat. Staying close to his boyhood home, Affleck romanticizes bank robbers from the Irish-American projects adjacent to prosperous Boston. When one of them falls for the manager of a bank th…

OK 17 Points 1987

I’m a big fan of mob flicks, but this movie didn’t impress me as much as many others. It is very entertaining, the cast can’t be beat, and the action keeps the movie moving along. However, Costner’s role was a bit cheesy (was Elliot Ness cheesy too?), and I would have liked to see more from DeNiro

The Usual Suspects
Really Great 13 Points 1995

This is a fun movie. Unfortunately, I think it’s a little predictable, but still … great story line, really good acting, and just enough “crime thriller suspense” to get the heart pumping.

The Wizard of Lies
Good 17 Points 2017

Robert DeNiro is great as Bernie Madoff, the famous financial bad-man who pulled off a $64.8B Ponzi scheme from 1960 to 2008. The movie, a little slow at times, does a decent job portraying what life as a Madoff was like, and the extent to which Bernie ruined the lives of not only investors, but…

Great 83 Points 2013

The Wolf of Long Island celebrates a craven criminal: a coke snorting, lude popping, reverse Robin Hood. What’s that? The biopic about the demented Jordan Belfort is titled The Wolf of Wall Street. Really? He spent scant time there. Belfort and his entire operation are Long Islanders dow…

Thief
Perfect 13 Points 1981

Mann’s first film. Frank is the best character Mann has created and the scene in the diner is better than the one in Heat.
