A 12 year old runaway girl and a prostitute trying to escape from their recent past and the bad guys that are after them. Great British movie with brilliant performances and a story that is more ‘disturbing’ than all Saw episodes altogether.

In the Valley of Elah (2007)

Posted in drama, thriller with tags , , , , , on 29 December, 2008 by Z!

What happens to soldiers after coming back from wars? Can they get their way back into society? A film about the aftermath of war in Iraq with Tommy Lee Jones playing the main role. I wonder if there’s anyone could do a better job as an emotionless war veteran than him. Probably not.

Stuck (2007)

Posted in thriller with tags , , , , on 25 December, 2008 by Z!

Quite an unusual story inspired by an event that happened for real: a homeless hit and run victim stuck in the windshield of a car for countless hours. It’s hard to believe how easily ordinary people can turn into monsters.

Rating: 7/10

Red is the name of a dog that’s been killed by three violent teenagers just for the sake of doing it. His owner seeks for justice and wants the truth to be told but it doesn’t come easy. A great story (based on Jack Ketchum’s novel) with brilliant performances. A must see!
