The first Tom Clancy adaptation to hit the big screen is still the best. This is the big-screen debut of Jack Ryan, and Sean Connery plays a rogue Soviet submarine captain who abandons orders and defects to the United States. It’s up to Ryan to bridge communications on the high seas to prevent an all-out nuclear war. A patient, highly technical thr...
A high point for stylistic genius Brian De Palma, Blow Out stars John Travolta as a sound effects expert on the trail of a political murder. It's hard to overstate the beauty of the director's compositions here. The audiovisual beauty would be breathtaking on its own, but the plot is uncommonly rich and absorbing, bolstered by strong characters and...

Loosely based on a 1980s British TV series, co-adapted by director Steve McQueen and Gone Girl scribe Gillian Flynn, Widows stars Viola Davis as Veronica Rawlings, a representative for the Chicago Teachers Union whose husband Harry (Liam Neeson) happens to be a high-end professional thief. It’s the title of the movie, so it’s hardly a spoiler to sa...
Christopher Nolan’s critically acclaimed, Oscar-nominated breakthrough is a murder mystery in reverse. Guy Pearce, Joe Pantaliano and Carrie-Anne Moss star in the absorbing if disorienting (by design) potboiler about a man desperately searching for his wife’s killer.
Arguably David Cronenberg's most polished and sophisticated effort to date, Eastern Promises stars Viggo Mortensen as a Russian career criminal in London who discovers deep corruption with the help of a midwife (Naomi Watts). For good reason, the most famous scene sees a fully nude Mortensen fight two would-be-assailants to the bitter death in a Tu...
