Heist (2001)
Just when I thought David Mamet was finally starting to hit his stride as a director, he shows his amateurishness once again. However, this is not as surprising as the downturn in the quality...

Bandits (2001)
Bandits is one of those films that doesn’t really have anything really bad about it, yet for some reason it doesn’t really score a lot of points in the excitement department either. While the script...
Heartbreakers (2001)
I seem to remember having seen HEARTBREAKERS before…I think it was called DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS back then though. Of course, it’s a little different here since the main con artists are female, and also...

The Man Who Wasn’t There (2001)

Angel Eyes (2001)
It’s ironic that the reason many people may be drawn to see this movie will also be the biggest reason they may be disappointed. Jennifer Lopez can be fun to watch, especially in gutsy but...
