Man on Fire
Creasy and Pita make a nice duo. But the violence is vicious and vulgar.

The Terminal
Trivial save for Hanks' Viktor Navorski, who singlehandedly grows on you.

Unfaithful
Split-personality film-making, with the first half winning all the prizes.

Birthday
When my father returns to Rome it's all about the past. Until the present pulls the curtain.

A Distant Shore
Caryl Phillips does novel-writing a great favor with this painful tale of cultural collapse in suburban Britain.

The Siege
Next time you think about Guantanamo, check out Zwick from '98.

Amok
The Bush Fight Club is all about spreading the seed, but not the Clinton way.

The Limey
Terence Stamp, Luis Guzman, Peter Fonda: All you need to know.

Fail Safe
Shocking then and alarming now — deftly-delivered nuclear bad news.

Whatever
Hey, approximation is bad policy except when it's the policy.

I Heart Huckabees
Bad parody inevitably too clever for its own good. Catastrophic.
