Typical Bank Heist
Nicholas Cage plays an American cop who inadvertently gets involved in a group of ex-military soldiers who are robbing a bank in order to get $1 million dollars. Add into the mix a young black student who has to accompany both Cage and his Son-in-Law as a punishment and throw in explosions and random killings and you get a fair idea what sort of ilm this is. Its worth watching if you just want an action bank heist movie, but if you are looking for something to keep you excited and on the edge of your seat, this is not it .

Don't diddle dead things!
Me and the wife were watching 'the possession of Hannah Grace' and it reminded me of this 90s gem. Ewan McGregor takes a job as a night watchman at a morgue to pay for law school and it's obviously kinda freaky but then he begins to realise he's being implicated for a series of murders. Great psychological build ups and scares and great performances from josh brolin and Nick Nolte. The only real let down is Ewan McGregor and his terrible American accent which is so bad it's almost distracting. Most definitely worth a watch.
After a year off from law, Mickey is ready to come back, but he gets more than he bargained for when a friend is killed and Mickey takes over his cases. One of those cases is a huge murder trial starting in just a week. Can Mickey handle this high profile case? Why was his predecessor murdered?
I really should have come back to this series sooner. The characters are outstanding and the plot was complex and twisty. I was glued to the story and will definitely be searching out the sequel.

The screenplay!
Man, just when I think Hollywood has nothing fresh to give us, they crank out a gem like this film.
When a sassy divorced Missouri woman is unhappy with local law enforcement after her daughter's brutal rape/murder case has gone cold, she takes matters into her own hands to try and spark some progress by purchasing three billboards shaming them.
The real star here is the dialogue. What a fresh, engaging, sometimes nasty script really kept me laughing, gasping and thoroughly entertained and wanting to know what happens next.
I would say the third act is a slight disappointment, but doesn't detract from an overall mesmerizing film.
