It's not the best war movie, but Black Hawk Down was probably the first significant success at showcasing modern warfare in cinema. For that, it deserves the buy.

How you'll feel about this probably depends on how you feel about Tom Cruise. Cuba's great in it, but anti-Scientologist sentiments (not judging if you're for or against it, but that stuff is wacky) might ruin the film. The anniversary packaging is a nice touch.

I'm going to take a technical approach to this review and leave the film to you to judge - the atmosphere can be nerve-wracking and sinister regardless of the colors in the environment, and importantly to me - the aspect ratio used in filming this should become the standard with filmmakers. The movie fits today's TVs perfectly with no black bars - I'm not trying to bash CinemaScope here, but shouldn't films fill the entire screen without cutting anything off?

Seriously, is there any role Tom Hanks can't play? He acted like a 6-foot little kid in Big, he's played a mentally challenged southern man in Forrest Gump, and he did it perfectly. It's no surprise he shines in Sully, a story that America treasured at the time and still continues to.

Is there anything more terrifying than a blind man capable of hunting you down because his other senses are that keen? I guess that's the terror thugs deal with from Daredevil, but still. It's a rare fresh take on the genre.
Also, this review won't let me type "He**'s Kitchen." Come on haha.

What was the last film/franchise to get buddy cops right? Rush Hour's the last one I can think of, so this is a welcome site. The duo's chemistry is great, Ryan Gosling has been on his A-game recently and it flows so well. Definitely worth the critical praise it got.

As it was with BvS, don't judge this movie off its theatrical release. Granted that's not a good business strategy at all, but the extended cut makes a difference with more of the Joker that helps tie the film together.

This isn't the type of movie you watch for award-winning performances or a plot that leaves you scratching your head - and that's a good thing. It was well-filmed, the action is cliche edge-of-your-seat and will look great on your home theater setup.

An edgy movie in a section of world media that is starting to be explored by big cinema here in the U.S. I'm not as familiar with anime or much Asian entertainment as it goes (save for the Korean movies here and there), but this movie's execution makes me want to see more.

I also purchased The Fifth Element, but this recent movie (within past decade) is one that is underappreciated, a well-executed plot and exceptional acting from Bradley Cooper in the lead.
