![]() As Liam Neeson movies go, Unknown is a bit sub-par. It bears a resemblance to the Taken duo in that he’s an American on the run from and after bad guys in a European capital, but its plot is way more mysterious. Too mysterious, even though it reve…

Bad Taxi Ride: Neeson & Kruger
|

![]() A fine thriller with Anthony Hopkins playing his patented role as brilliant murderer. Here he’s not the savage Lector, just a cuckolded husband determined to get even. |
||||||
![]() Contemporary thriller-on-a-train, ultimately gripping though it takes a while to get there, not unlike an interesting train trip. Woody Harrelson and Ben Kingsley bring star power to writer-director Brad Anderson’s well constructed movie, though the script and secondary characters are also first… |

![]() Sickening, and sickly engaging. There were times I almost stopped watching, then soldiered through to a reasonably satisfying conclusion. The movie keeps its secrets well, ultimately flinging betrayals and double-crosses from all angles. However the portrayal of anesthetic awareness…

![]() Any engaging thriller starring Russell Crowe makes for a better than average movie, even if this one isn’t getting the credit it deserves. So what if it’s implausible to the point of surrealism. Such reality liberties are the way of the world these days. Fortunately they lead to more than a fe…

High Point: This lowlife scum bag

![]() De Niro and Norton’s moviestar masterclass combined with austerely beautiful filmmaking elevates a formulaic story that trades heavily in caricature. Often darkly funny, occasionally LOL so, Stone surmounts its insufficient title by proving itself an involving experience.

![]() Worth seeing, albeit plenty disappointing, The Tourist proves little more than an exercise in high style. Ogling beauty, the movie fetishizes Angelina Jolie and Venice, its grand hotels, sleek wooden motorboats and tiny arched bridges a gorgeous platform for her turn as The Most Beautiful Woma…

![]() This movie is sick, literally. That’s not a bad thing as star-studded disaster movies go, though this one is more paranoiac than most. Fantasizing about the Mother of All Communicable Diseases does make it more than a little fascinating. Is that sick to say? The star-studded cast proves its …
