Keanu Reeves is an anamoly to me. How does he turn out such awesome movies. Sure he has some stinkers. But logically, his career should be dead an buried by now. This is one of my favorite action movies. See KR is undercover as a surfer dude who joins a band of like minded beach bum burnouts (Swayze & Co.) who also, rob banks and ish. Whooooaaaa.
This movie is action packed. (via Amazon)

New Jack City is one of my favorite crime movies. And the soundtrack is just as amazing. You know what, with New Jack City and Law and Order, Ice T has really won me over. (via Amazon)

People either love this movie or hate. Which is what happens with brilliant pieces of work.
I LOVE Heat. Most crime capers are saturated every 5 minutes with violence or melodrama (Scarface :P). Heat is subtle and brooding (delivered successfully by a huge cast of amazing actors). Only actors of this caliber could pull this off. Which is why I think the same style didn't work for Mann's Miami Vice (boo Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell).
I'm not a Pacino or Deniro fan, but these two roles where perfect for them, allowing them to shine at what they do best.
Oh and the movie is punctuated with two of the most nail biting, adrenaline rushing action scenes (well done). (via Amazon)

This could easily have been a crappy straight to video movie if it wasn't for its solid story line. Wow, an amazing story...go figure. Not the usual predictable, watered down caper. Kudos.

Description

I was surprised that I really liked this movie. I think I wanted to hate it since Ben Affleck directed it. Its about a private detective hired to investigate the case of a missing child in his neighborhood. The P.I. (Affleck) butts heads during his investigation with local cops, neighbors and his girlfriend. REally good thriller that ends with a thought provoking twist that will have you asking what you'd do in that situation. (via Amazon)
