In plain sight... by reelponderings Pros: Good performances, exciting action scenes, memorable story underneath a formulaic setting.
Cons: Dated, some sleazy elements don't work, formulaic climax. The Hidden (1987) was the third film directed by Jack Sholder. Based on his preceding films, I would say that The Hidden was a case of "third times charm" for him. I have yet to see his debut, Alone in the Dark (1982), but it is ...

Focus - 2001 by susidee34 Pros: All the actors, the incredible story
Cons: ... This was a somewhat disturbing movie to watch. Not because of blood and gore or anything like that but, rather, because it brought forth the lowest of human traits, bigotry. It is centered around the ending of WWII, in a small neighborhood in ...

The set-up and the punch line are etched into stone, beginning with the ...
