    The Fall (2009)

    " The Fall features a mostly-talented cast doing good work and surprisingly striking visuals given the film's budget, but it fails to weave any particularly intriguing twists from dark secrets past and present and rushes towards an abrupt conclusion." — Boxoffice Magazine

    The Wrestler (2008)

    " The Wrestler is a true tragedy. It aims to bruise the soul and succeeds, because it features a performance by star Mickey Rourke. He, and he alone defines the film, and it is the best movie of 2008." — DVDTalk.com

    Taken (2009)

    The International (2009)

    Race to Witch Mountain (2009)
