This sophisticated thriller is certainly deserving of its title as the pre-cursor to Film Noir

Duplicity
More character-driven spy romantic comedy than espionage movie, this film harkens back to the classic days of the “star” film, and for the witty back and forth alone, this is better than you may have heard.
Whiteout
Whiteout could’ve been a taut, suspenseful crime thriller, but instead, it’s a lot of bad dialogue and dull mystery that leads up to a lackluster climax — but the snow is pretty.
Wanted
Better than I expected, and better than it seems at first, give Wanted a chance and youll find a great looking, somewhat entertaining action film with possibilities.
Halloween
Zombie has shown he knows how to do his own horror right, but he should have left the classic alone; the movie ultimately fails due to the fact that it tries to justify Michael Myers by making him nothing more than a sad little boy who grew up bad.
Saw III
Better than its predecessor, Saw III still doesnt capture the dread of the original, but it comes close.
