12 Rounds

John Cena stars in this movie about a cop (Danny) who accidentally kills the girlfriend of a terrorist the FBI have been tracking. When the bad guy later escapes from prison he wants revenge, so he kidnaps Danny's girlfriend and insists he do various tasks if he wants her back alive. If you liked Cena in the Marine you will probably like this one.

Changeling

Angelina Jolie stars in this, based on a true story, drama about a single mother whose sons goes missing. Instead of admitting they cannot solve the crime a corrupt police department forces her to admit that another boy is her son. She has to decide to accept this new boy as her own or fight the police department and take the chance of never finding her real son.

Righteous Kill

Robert Deniro and Al Pacino play veteran cops in this crime drama about a serial killer who is taking out all the bad guys. As they work to solve the case they realize it is probably a cop doing the killing. Not the best movie but it was still enjoyable to watch two great actors like these two together in a movie.

88 Minutes

Al Pacino plays a forensic psychiatrist whose testimony in court is key in giving a serial killer the death sentence. On the day he is supposed to die a copycat killer shows up making everyone doubt whether they are executing the right guy. The same day Pacino gets a call saying he has 88-minutes to live. Not Pacino's best but a pretty good thriller.

No Country For Old Men

When a broke hunter (Josh Brolin ) is out hunting one he stumbles across a drug deal gone bad and $2 million dollars in cash. He takes the money but then has to quickly flee the area because the folks who lost the money want it back. The guy they send to find the money (Javier Bardem) will stop at nothing to get it back, and Brolin is trying to stay one step ahead of him. This is a violent, but very good movie. It is obvious why it won so many awards including Best Picture.

American Gangster

Denzel Washington, usually such a typical "good guy", shows a different side when he plays Frank Lucas a Harlem Gangster who rules the streets with his pure heroin and his vicious enforcement. Russell Crowe takes on the role of "good guy" by playing Richie Roberts the cop leading the unit trying to take down the key drug lords. I thought this was pretty good. It has kind of a small plot twist in the end that I thought really made the movie enjoyable.

Hot Fuzz

After a top London cop spends so much time being so good that he makes the rest of the force look bad they decide to transfer him off to a small town. Once he is there some bizarre crimes start happening that puts him right back in the heat of things. Of course all the locals keep calling them "accidents" because things like that don't happen in Sandford. I thought this movie was pretty entertaining. It has kind of a twist towards the end. I guess I will sum it up as Reno 911 meets Scream.

Reno 911 - Miami

The cops from Comedy Central's television show hits the big screen. The Reno cops travel all the way to Miami for a police convention and end up being in charge of fighting crime when the convention is the target of a biological attack. I have to admit that sometimes I find the show funny, but the movie was just plain dumb. Not worth watching.
