Operation Argo (2012) Online Streaming

Argo is a movie of many parts, the sum of which can probably be best described as enjoyable Hollywood hokum.. The film is a whopper of a tale, one designed for Oscar nominations, Best Picture and Best Director among them.. Affleck himself turns in a quietly impressive movie star performance. Tony Mendez is a kind of anti-Bourne, comfortable with his anonymity, living off his wits, not his fists.. If nothing else, it proves that every so often, the CIA can pull something off - and that yes, Canad...

Mystic River (2003) Se Streaming

You'd expect The Book of Eli to offer something special enough to have lured the brothers from retirement, but the Hugheses settle for serving up all the usual cliches.... Smart, hard-charging, compassionate.. Where Lehane's novel seethes with emotionally charged subtext, Eastwood's workmanlike direction feels static -- fatally tasteful, embalmed in gravitas -- while his sporadic efforts at dramatic heightening come off as vulgar cliche.. While the religious content makes itself felt, sometimes ...

Derailed (2005) Spille Streaming

Derailed" - - a pure popcorn thriller - - may find it hard to make a dent at the box office. But it is worth seeing..

Survivor (2015) Fuld Film Streaming

The countdown ending is groan-inducing, as are a number of things leading up to it.. A movie so full of ludicrous plotting and stilted exposition that it almost works as an accidental comedy.. Pierce Brosnan embarks on the world's most tedious killing spree in this forgettable espionage drama. Amid the choppy action and whirl of sketchy characters lie muddled messages about revenge, greed, war, hubris and the endless ripple effects of 9/11..

The Maze Runner (2014) Se Streaming

Though it sometimes feels calculated and mechanical, it's also solid, well crafted and entertaining.. Having not read the book, I was hoping for a more satisfying payoff than the one I got. Then again, maybe the filmmakers are saving the answers for the sequel.. Ball is deft, though, at evoking claustrophobia of every kind, whether in the open-air prison of the Glade or the actual tight spaces of the Maze. And he elicits a hair-trigger performance from O'Brien.. "The Maze Runner" isn't based on ...

The Boy Next Door (2015) Download Fuld

Ben Affleck works both sides of the camera to impressive effect in The Town, a dramatic thriller that fulfills its considerable ambitions.. Ben Affleck's follow-up to his gritty directorial debut, Gone Baby Gone, proves the actor/director/co-writer is here, baby, here to stay.. Jennifer Lopez has serious beefcake issues in this lazy, low-budget, not-as-much-fun-as-it-should-be potboiler.. Feels all but indistinguishable from the thousands of similar films that have blazed a trail before it.. You...
