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.

Body of Lies

Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio star as CIA agents working to bring down a terrorist leader. Along the way they have to figure out who they can actually trust. With such an outstanding cast I thought this would have been a much better movie. I found it really boring.

Iron Man

When genius weapons building billionaire Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) gets held hostage by an evil terrorist organization the only way to escape is by building a "superhero" suit. Once he gets home he gives up weapons building and goes to work perfecting his new invention so that he can use it to fight crime.

Rendition

When Anwar El-Ibrahimi mysteriously never gets off the plane in Washington that his wife (Reese Witherspoon) has proof he boarded in South Africa she begins a frantic search to find out where he is. At the same time the CIA agent (Jake Gyllenhaal) in charge of investigating whether El-Ibrahimi is a terrorist starts to question the techniques his country is using to solicit information. The movie can be a tad slow at times, but overall it was not bad.

Live Free or Die Hard

John McClane (Bruce Willis) is back and this Die Hard is just as action packed as all the previous 3 if not more so. In this Die Hard what McClane thinks will be an easy assignment, pick up a computer hacker and bring him in, ends up getting him involved in a Global attack on all of the United States technology systems. I enjoyed the match between Willis and Justin Long and thought this was a really enjoyable movie. Probably my 2nd favorite Die Hard (the 1st being the best).

The Kingdom

After a terrorist attack on an American compound in Saudi Arabia kills 2 FBI agents special agent Ronald Fleury (Jamie Foxx) is determined to go help with the investigation. When the powers that be tell him no, he takes a team and goes anyway to see what he can do to help find those responsible. This is an enjoyable action movie/drama that to me seemed sad in its realism.

Next

Cheesy Las Vegas magician Chris Johnson (Nicolas Cage) leads a pretty simple life because he wants to hide his true gift, he can see 2 minutes into his future. When a Government agency needs his help to protect the Country from a dangerous terrorist event he has to put everything on the line. If you watch this movie for pure entertainment you will enjoy it. This is not Nicholas Cage's or Julianne Moore's best movie by any means, but I liked it.
