- DirectorPaul HaggisStarsTommy Lee JonesCharlize TheronJonathan TuckerA retired military investigator works with a police detective to uncover the truth behind his son's disappearance following his return from a tour of duty in Iraq.This is a must watch for anyone who's ever been to battle or anyone who's family has fought. The acting is supreme. Tommy Lee Jones is absolutely at his best. Charlize is excellent in a supportive role. Even Susan Saradins small parts where outstanding. Film is set in modern America battling in the Middle East and depicts the hirirs caused to our servicemen/women in n this terrible war on evil. Very thought provocative and makes one appreciate the sacrifices for our freedom. Definitely a must watch. 10/10.
- DirectorAnthony ByrneStarsNatalie DormerEd SkreinEmily RatajkowskiA blind musician hears a murder committed in the apartment upstairs from hers that sends her down a dark path into London's gritty criminal underworld.This is a sleeper, well for me it was. I hadn't heard anything about it in the news. Just came across it on IMDB. Natalie Dormer is fabulous. I have a very close friend who is high functionally blind and she has all of the mannerisms, eye movements down pat. I don't know how much she practiced in the blind, but she excelled at it. The film overall is excellent. Great writing, acting is superior and the plot twists are downright Hitchcockien.
If I have any criticism here it would be the soundtrack. There are parts of the movie that I had to rewind to catch what was whispered. Other than that, I definitely recommend"seeing" this film. 8/10 only due to sound quality. Otherwise a 10. - DirectorFrancis LawrenceStarsJennifer LawrenceJoel EdgertonMatthias SchoenaertsPrima ballerina Dominika Egorova turns dangerous Sparrow.
