The Informant! (2009)
Witty and Intelligent
Not wishing to take anything away from the director Steven Soderburgh, this movie reminded me of some of the Coen Brothers movies. It was clever, dark and is packed with some amazing lines (just take a look at the quotes listed on the movie's page).
I don't think I've ever seen Matt Damon play such a quirky, dark character, like that of Mark Whitacre. It was an intense, believable and hypnotising performance. Also good to see Scott Bakula (from Quantum Leap fame) shine in this movie.
There are so many twists and turns in this film, but all woven together so well that, without saying too much, you are totally sucked into the plot and will most likely find yourself saying "huh!" at the end of the film, when the truth comes out.
Heartless (2009)
A score of 3 isn't Heartless it's kind
I don't normally watch horror movies but this once caught my eye since it was a Brit movie and starred Eddie Marsan and Timothy Spall. But, I was really disappointed. The story was disjointed and I just didn't believe in the characters. At times I found myself laughing out loud; not really the sort of reaction for a horror movie. I'm not even sure that it is a horror movie.
I gave it the benefit of the doubt but it really was a chore to watch it right through. I'm more frightened by the time that I've wasted watching this movie than I was about any of the content.
It had the potential to be amazing, but failed miserably.
