The Accused received phenomenal critical acclaim and success. Jodie Foster, of course, won an Oscar for her extraordinary portrayal of rape victim Sarah Tobias — a role which was originally offered to, and turned down by, Kelly McGillis, herself the survivor of a rape. Instead, McGillis elected to play Kathryn Murphy, the deputy D.A. who takes on Sarah's case.

Dead Man Walking is a film that explores the unique and unexpected bond formed between a Catholic nun and a convicted murderer on Death Row. Tim Robbins adapted the screenplay from Sister Helen Prejean’s nonfictional book of the same name, and he also directed this inspirational spiritual drama that avoids being one sided and preachy by approaching the material through several different viewpoints.Susan Sarandon won an Oscar for best actress in a leading Role.

Nine Queens a very clever plot that unfolds at the very last moment. The ending was well orchestrated, and it didn't treat the audience like idiots with lazy flashbacks.

Russell Crowe brings a soulful intensity to the dad who cherishes his daughter almost as much as he does his writing career. Amanda Seyfried's performance is heartfelt and brave in its way but the script doesn't help them. It is lines such as "Men can survive without love but not us women" that make this film such a stinker.

Anger at the tip of your nose does no good to anyone. Its not my finding but a simple truth. Sameer Thahir‘s Kali has an angry young man as its protagonist who looses his temper at the slightest of provocation. Kali is a decent movie to watch with Dulquer Salman and Sai Pallavi of Premam fame taking the film forward sharing a good on screen chemistry between them.

Norwegian director Roar Uthaug being a fame of Cold Prey (2006) & The Wave (2015) noe reunites with Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, the star of his break through movie "Cold Prey", to bring you a grim tale in the beautiful lands of Norway. The landscapes are absolutely stunning and the cinematography manages to it perfectly capture every last drop of this beautiful nature. The characters are more three dimensional than you'd expect and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal delivers a good performance.

Retribution follows a man with a grudge as he enacts his revenge on the sketchy banker that screwed him financially; past the well-executed technical frills, essentially what we have is an impersonal, thinly written script and a lazy, half-baked attempt at social commentary that can’t really sustain itself much farther than the halfway point.
