I’ve been falling behind on my postings, but not on the movies. Got three for the last three days. Here’s #1
This got a 7.2 at IMDB. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen so many really good movies lately that I think that’s a little high. Not too much, though. Well acted all around, although Tatum stretches believability a little as the wealthy trader. It’s also a fairly smart film, so be sure to pay attention as you go. A good, old-fashioned psychological thriller. We’ve seen this sort of film before, but there’s enough new here, and the performances are interesting enough, that I’d give it a 6. Maybe even a 6.5. (running time 1:46)
