A big Bondian miasma, dark and steely, Skyfall marks a solid chapter in the half century superspy series. Big it is – nearly two and a half hours, though it doesn’t feel overlong; complete with massive explosions and huge fights; full of big, big moviestars, including a first rate supervillain…

The tangled web of deception surrounding James Bond reaches its nexus in Spectre, a more than serviceable installment in the Blond Bond Era. Daniel Craig’s 007 is once again a stone-cold assassin, reprising the gritty killer persona he established in Casino Royale and has doggedly pursued in …

Monica Bellucci is spectacular.

A really fun espionage thriller featuring two acting greats: Redford and Pitt. Pitt gets cuffed by the Chinese and the CIA pulls in his old mentor, the just-about-to-retire Robert Redford to help sort things out. As you’d expect, this turns into a one last hurrah for Redford – full of heroic … |

The hero of many a Tom Clancy story gets rebooted in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, a more than competent action thriller. Chris Pine, Kevin Costner, Keira Knightley and Kenneth Branagh are much more than competent as its starring quartet, allowing the movie to draw from a deep well of moviestar…

Terrifically well acted by a bevy of single-name movie stars (Damon, Jolie, De Niro, Hurt, Baldwin, Pesci), and more than competently directed by De Niro himself, this is a high quality – albeit long and fictionalized – exploration of how the CIA found itself at odds with the values of the Americ…

This surprisingly effective revenge thriller plays better than its formulaic trailer might suggest. The mix of A-List star, well written script and competent direction injects plenty of life into an implausible set-up and the resulting cat-and-mouse games.

Action thrillers come no more accomplished than Hanna, brilliant director Joe Wright’s latest and perhaps greatest film. Profiling a genetically-modified 16 year old girl who would put 24’s Jack Bauer to shame, Wright finds ample opportunity for his trademark bravura filmmaking along with a …

The wages of sin are very good for Tom Cruise for a very long time in American Made, a fanciful recounting of one smuggler’s blues during the 1980s cocaine explosion. It’s a very satisfying movie, with a modicum of truth, a surfeit of crazed sexiness, and a satisfactory ending when the wages of…

Revenge stories are sweet. Sword of Gideon is a made for HBO movie that chronicles Mossad-led payback time for the 1972 Olympics massacre terrorists. Lesser known and less flashy than the movie ‘Munich’ (released in 2005) it is no less taught of a thriller. However, this is nearly a 3 hour mo… |
