The post summer holiday films started with Disturbia. This was a very good thriller, much better than I had expected. A smart retake on Hitchcock's Rear Window with good dialogue, acting and direction.
I expected The Brave One to be a Jodie Foster "woman in peril" that she has already played in Panic Room and Flightplan. But this was a more intelligent movie which was only to be expected from Neil Jordan. Jodie was a far more interesting and deeper character than her previous roles and she played this one brilliantly.
What can I say about The Kingdom. I quite like action blockbusters and this was OK. But it was only saved by Chris Cooper who was head and shoulders above all the other actors. It looked good on the big screen and two hours passed quickly. But instantly forgettable.
