The Bourne Identity

A decent enough thriller, but does Matt Damon really need to make every film with a poker-face?

I Know What You Did Last Summer

‘Scream’ minus wit and originality.

Total Recall

Classic Arnie – dated, but still enjoyable.

Elephant

An intelligent reflection on the Columbine massacre, preferring difficult questions to easy answers, with the sort of quiet subtlety that one would never expect from an elephant.

The Human Stain

Thankfully this particular stain isn’t permanent – try to ignore it and it’ll go away.

Cold Creek Manor

This sort of below-par rube gothic may play well out in the sticks, but we city slickers like us somethin' more sophisticated and original, y'hear…

Insomnia

Considerably more interesting than sleep.

Vanilla Sky

Watchable, provided you’ve got way too much time on your hands.

Paycheck

Enjoyable, if completely ridiculous, popcorn fodder.

Runaway Jury

With a perfect cast and multi-layered plot, it rattles along like a runaway train – a thrilling enough ride, even if it must come crashing at the end.
