Equilibrium


I had heard SO much about this movie. People said forget Matrix....watch Equilibrium. Me being a Christian Bale fan thought it would be worth a watch. Bad decision!! The script is pretty weak although the idea is nice. It is like a bad adaptation of Isaac Asimov or Philip K Dick book. Apart from a few well shot action sequences and gun battels all in all a let down. Wouldn't recommend this one!

Disturbia


This movie was a complete surprise. I expected a run of the mill thriller which although it was. Also, it WAS predictable as predicted but was still quite enjoyable. Worth a watch I think. And yeah Carrie-Anne Moss is wasted as the mother I think...

Dial M for murder

Oh man! how can I review Hitchcock's creation without being partial well I can't so I will. A great thriller, having all the mandatory ingredients Murder, Greed, Love etc. Has been remade in bollywood as Aitbaar. I loved it. You might too if you don't mind watching old movies without slick tech effects...

Black Hawk Down

Set in Somalia, this movie with an all star cast is about a failed attempt by the elite companies of the US army to capture a Somalian war-lord in Mogadishu. Adapted from a book and based on a true story it is worth a watch if you are a History buff and/or like war movies. A bit long but Ridley Scott does a fine job...

Identity


This was one hell of a movie. I remember watching it back in 2003. We weren't expecting much from it and ended up watching it as we did not get tickets for our "first choice". BTW this one has a bollywood rip-off too. Some movie starring Shilpa Shetty. Movie is about 10 strangers who have something in common. Any way if you like Thrillers watch this one well worth it.
