• Air Force One directed by Wolfgang Petersen (1997)

  [6/10]

  "Air Force One provides good action and some suspenseful moments, but after multiple viewings, you find yourself saying, 'Oh, sure. Like the president would really have . . .'"

• Devil's Own, The directed by Alan J. Pakula (1997)

  [5/10]

  "Ford and Pitt have enough charisma and talent to carry most of the scenes, but by the end, all the scenes don't make a very satisfying, or even logical, plot."

• Die Hard directed by John McTiernan (1988)

  [9/10]

  "You can watch Die Hard over and over and still get a pleasant thrill with each viewing."

• Fight Club directed by David Fincher (1999)

  [6/10]

  "Rarely, a movie comes along that captures the essence of a book so well, that it outshines the book."

• Glimmer Man, The directed by John Gray (1996)

  [6/10]

  "The plot moves quickly along the thinnest of threads but holds together just enough to provide plenty of opportunities for explosions, shootings, gruesome murder scenes, and, of course, hand-to-hand combat -- especially in places with lots of glass and furniture."

• Syriana directed by Stephen Gaghan (2006)

  [6/10]

  "In spite of good performances by an amazing cast, the preachy message of Syriana turned me off."

• United 93 directed by Paul Greengrass (2006)

  [7/10]

  "United 93 walks us through the transition from before 9/11 to after 9/11. Our lives take place with a much more hectic set of background noises playing than before, and with United 93, we watch the exact moment when the background noise increased."
