    Surprisingly good

    I think the film is worth seeing. It surprised me that being an action films lover, I found this one very involving and moving. I recommend it!

    Taking a chance on Taking Chance

    Another cracking offering from HBO Films. Although this film may be politically divisive for some depending on where you stand regarding the war in Iraq, this ... read more »
