State of Play (2009)
Good watchable movie, nothing spectacular
This was a good watchable movie, but nothing spectacular. The story is about a journalist investigating a street shooting incident and in his investigations, he uncovers a grand conspiracy involving defense contractors and members of the government.
There are a few "how is that possible?" moments in the storyline (for instance, the hiring of Sonya Baker etc) but I can let those go. Its all still very believable and Russel Crowe has delivered a solid performance.
I won't recommend you go and buy the movie. But if you're stuck on a long flight and there is nothing else on, then why not.
Unthinkable (2010)
Pure Torture!
This was just a bad film. The moral lesson that seems to have so many people awestruck is indeed an issue that requires deep reflection, but the makers of this film didn't seem to get that.
First of all, the threat, three homemade nukes? Are you kidding me?! But thats not the point. It was bad, unconvincing acting all over. The characters were barely believable especially that sissy General in charge of the whole torture operation. Agent Crody was the worst interrogator I have ever seen in a movie. Will Farrel was a better interrogator in The Other Guys! And "H"...well...see the movie and tell me how someone like Samuel Jackson could agree to do such a one dimensional and shallow role! His wife's story of rape and murder was one of the worst pieces of acting in the entire film...and that in a film filled with bad acting. And that terrorist. He was drilled in the mouth, his fingernails pulled, his fingers chopped off! He never lost consciousness, not even close. In fact, he maintained his presence of mind to make wise cracks all along! Next time you want a terrorist to divulge information, force him to watch this film. Pure torture! The Chinese kind!
