• American Gangster directed by Ridley Scott (2007)

  [6/10]

  "From the trailers, I expected to see scene after scene of gore and violence, but I was pleasantly surprised at the intellectual comparison of these 'real life' characters from our recent past."

• Boondock Saints, The directed by Troy Duffy (1999)

  [7/10]

  "The Boondock Saints presents an interesting conundrum. When you look back at the plot, the movie really doesn't have too much substance. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed watching The Boondock Saints."

• V for Vendetta directed by James McTeigue (2006)

  [8/10]

  "The twisting and engaging story line more than makes up for the 'comic book' characters, and director JamesMcTeigue displays an excellent balance of mystery, suspense, and violence."

  Average score: 7.00
