One of the very best war films. Imagine the opening 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan sustained for full length. A movie that vividly shows how disconnect between D.C. politicians and our fighting military can yield chaotic results. It also underscores the sacrifices made by these men and women for our liberties. Expert rendering of Bowden's book. It's actually better.

Unusual tale of a grief stricken father taking on organized crime to avenge the death of his son. It's more in the telling than the story. Poetic images of cascading snow, snatches of dark humor, bursts of violence. But I couldn't help but note the similarities with Death Wish IV: The Crackdown, funny though that may seem. It's certainly better but there it is.

William Friedkin's dynamic 80's saga about cops and counterfeiters is his west coast French Connection. Tough, uncompromising and an ending you won't see coming. Aside from a badly dated soundtrack, this is a killer movie worth your attention.

Some tense moments, many dull ones and a few preposterous turns make this a less successful Le Carre adaptation than the others. It's kind of middle drawer, not bad but uninspired
Waters and Stone are two nobody police officers working dull administrative jobs and making extra money selling stolen Civil Service Exams to other officers. When Stone hears a story about a heroin dealer quickly beating his extremely high bail, the two friends set into motion a plan to find the origin of such a large amount of cash. Through diligent police work they follow a trail that leads directly to a custom bank-style vault built into the back room freezer of a small grocery store. They put a plan into motion to rob the vault and split whatever they find inside. But by the time they figure out what the vault contains, it's already too late to turn back.

What a cool surprise. Fans of movies like Breaking In or The Opportunusts will add The Trust to their appreciation. Not some generic, VOD throwaway but a movie made with care and craft.

For fans of David Lynch and other surreal oddities. Unsettling, nightmarish cautionary tale. This isn't a movie for the casual filmgoer. Most will hate it. It offers no entertainment value and seems poised to hurt its audience. If you dare...recommended.

For Bowie and muppet fans alike. This is the kind of movie that mostly requires a childhood fondness to help it along. It cruises by on hand spun visuals, nostalgia and muppets. With Bowie trading on his Ziggy Stardust persona.

I like my kung fu a little down and dirty and on the cheap. This one is high minded and gunning for respect. It's good. Overrated but good. Responsible for ushering in countless imitators of varying quality and a sequel for which the less said, the better.

Quite simply, one of the greatest American films. A dark, violent character study of isolation without parallel. Scorsese and Schrader at the peak of their powers. Every film lover should have this one in their collection.
