The Lincoln Lawyer

Kind of like a rejected Law and Order script (not enough twists) with a few sub-plots added on.

Unknown

You'll be forgiven if you start thinking about the Bourne Identity.

Barney's Version

Mostly honest; fully heartbreaking.

Survivors (BBC Series)

Remarkably better than The Walking Dead.

Battle Los Angeles

Where "Battle" is the operative word.  I actually think this is one of the better "behind enemy lines" movies in quite a while, but it is very one-dimensional.

Source Code

The concept isn't very far removed from a very good episode of The Twilight Zone -- with modern action movie production values (Chicago has never looked better) -- but make no mistake, this is superlative science fiction.

Spring Summer Fall Winter ... Spring

is still the best Buddhist movie I know. And re-incarnation still sucks.

L' Ivresse du pouvoir

Despite the American title, this is not a comedy. Despite the classification, this is not a thriller.

Sucker Punch (2010)

Marvelous tropes about the subconscious, undermined by Pyrrhic passages.

The Mechanic

Kind of like a mediocre episode of Burn Notice stretched out to double the necessary length.
