Chaos (2006)

A suspended policeman is brought back into action to investigate a bank robbery together with a new partner, fresh from the academy.

'Chaos' is an old fashioned police thriller. It tries to suggest many complex and intelligent ideas but without providing the necessary basis to make them believable. The film has a strong cast, but a script that does not help it exceed the label  of "run of the mill".

Director:  Tony Giglio     

With: Jason Statham, Ryan Phillippe, Wesley Snipes, Justine Waddell, Henry Czerny, Nicholas Lea

Rating: 6.9/10

Brooklyn's Finest (2009)

Drama puternica si apasatoare, dusa remarcabil in spate de o serie de actori de renume care dau tot ce au mai bun in frunte cu un Ethan Hawke complet transfigurat, care reuseste sa fie ceea ce ar fi trebuit sa fie Crash cu sase ani in urma, desi aici avem un univers mult mai restrans, axat doar pe zona politie/criminalitate. Trei oameni dau viata la trei caractere si tipologii complet diferite aratand nevoia incercarii de a aduce o schimbare si totodata futilitatea de uneori a aceluiasi gest.

Regie: Antoine Fuqua
Scenariu: Michael C. Martin

Cu: Ethan Hawke, Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Wesley Snipes, Ellen Barkin, Will Patton, Vincent D'Onofrio, Lili Taylor
