. The film's tale ends up being less rich than its lovely Georgia settings.. Essentially, Hyde Park on Hudson is a Shakespearean revel.. There's an alliance of interesting stories fighting for dominance here, but instead of a clear victory, "Hyde Park on Hudson" is the site of a muddled truce.. Solid and convincing, if pedestrian, World War II story that has its moments.. It's never a bad movie, but...
The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005) Spela Strömmande
Like Doubt, this week's other stage-to-screen adaptation, director Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon pours old-fashioned theatrical juice into a cinematic bottle and lets the actors drink it up..

They've just gone too far in the other direction. The...

The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action...

Kolja Brandt's hand-held cinematography and Philipp Stolzl's direction keep the suspense level...
K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) Spela Film
It's no Das Boot, Crimson Tide or The Enemy Below. But it's no embarrassment, either.. This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. A salute is in order for Bigelow, a director who knows how to navigate macho terrain without losing her human compass.. . A thriller without a lot of thrills.. This is the single best movie I...
