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 … |

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… |

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.

The first Bourne-less Bourne sequel felt more like a slog than a thrilling chase. Then its climax felt like a pause, which it is … for the next episode. So after more than two hours of frenetic activity, it wasn’t clear the movie was actually over. Some legacy. Let’s stipulate that most r…

Formulaic sequels like The Equalizer 3 don’t get any respect. However, they make for immensely satisfying cinematic experiences when executed to perfection. E3 pretty much executes to perfection. Indeed, it fires on damn near all cylinders: a perfect film led by a nonpareil moviestar, work… |

This movie is sort of like the 8-cylinder version of the A-Team’s 4-banger. As you would expect from any Stallone movie, plenty of violence-laden action abounds, sometimes in a disconnected sort of way – but to be sure, watching bad guys get their heads blown off is an all American macho form…

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…

The King’s Man was sprung on an unsuspecting world in late 2021, at once familiar and head-scratching. Why would the third Kingsman have a new cast led by Ralph Fiennes? In the event, all became clear. The King’s Man is the prequel to Kingsman I & II. Make that the ultimate prequel, _the King…
