Debt, The (2010)
Introspective and thought provoking spy thriller. I don\'t have a bad thing to say about it. Top quality script; top quality acting.
Solaris (1972)- Outer and inner space fuse in this great SF classic based on the Stanislaw Lem novelette. Beautifully photographed and thought provoking film with no special effects. A bit slow in places, but the action is all below the surface.
Waiting for Superman (2010)
Try to please everyone––end up pleasing nobody. Good structural analysis of the US education system. Plenty to think about and a well constructed piece.
TT Closer to the Edge (TT3D Closer to the Edge) (2011)- Speed addicts will love this. Lots of footage from on board cameras. Good cameo pieces from some of the participants. Thrills spills and death as the documentary follows one rider through the fortnight long event.
L.A. Confidential (1997)
Trouble in paradise. Mesmerising production.Politics and corruption in this dark and perfectly realised LA police procedural.
Usual Suspects, The (1995)- Weak script carried by top quality acting and tightly focused direction by Bryan Singer. Landmark film but the ending is a bit of a con job in itself.
Heist (2001)- Typical David Mamet script to make your head spin. Double double crosses and plot twists galore. Gene Hackman and Danny DeVito compliment each other perfectly. Definitely a cut above average.
Twelve Angry Men (12 Angry Men) (1957)
- The first film by Sidney Lumet who knows exactly where he is going with this. A jury room drama which would be nothing without its carefully balanced and talented cast. All time classic.
Casino Royale (2006)- A more worldly and more sombre James Bond. Top quality all round, sets new standards for the genre. The opening five minutes in particular is a stunningly complex piece of action photography.
Drive (2011)- Quintessentially Southern Californian homage to Raymond Chandler and Quentin Tarantino. Carefully crafted movie ticks all of the boxes. Ryan Gosling plays with a frightening and icy intensity as things spiral down into ugliness on that very last job.
