The Last Castle (2001) |
"Thanks to Redford and Gandolfini, you might be able to forgive The Last Castle's prison-movie cliches, as well as the rash of improbabilities that undermine the film's extended final prison-yard battle." |

The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"It's Whitaker who grabs your attention and sends chills down your spine, as he twists seductive charm into depraved power. He's electrifying, a classic example of a performer who takes a moderately intriguing movie and elevates it to must-see status." |

Are we watching a modern-day, Iraqi-oriented cautionary tale, disguised as family action fare?" |
