- DirectorMark RobsonStarsKirk DouglasArthur KennedyMarilyn MaxwellBoxer Midge Kelly rises to fame...mainly by stepping on other people.Nyrkkeilyn tylystä maailmasta väkevä kuvaus. Kirk Douglas hallitsi kaikkia kohtauksia voimallisesti ja Arthur Kennedy vahvana sivustakatsojana.
- DirectorPeter StricklandStarsToby JonesAntonio MancinoGuido AdorniA sound engineer's work for an Italian horror studio becomes a terrifying case of life imitating art.Olipa erikoinen "kauhuelokuva". Mielenkiintoinen tarina äänisuunnittelijasta. Toby Jones vahva.
- DirectorS. Craig ZahlerStarsKurt RussellPatrick WilsonMatthew FoxIn the dying days of the old west, an elderly sheriff and his posse set out to rescue their town's doctor from cannibalistic cave dwellers.Alkoi melkein peruslänkkärinä, mutta muuttui melkoiseksi taisteluksi. Yllättävä!
- DirectorPaul Andrew WilliamsStarsMartin FreemanAnthony LaPagliaRebecca FrontDramatisation of the team hoping to televise the trial of Adolf Eichmann, an infamous Nazi responsible for the deaths of millions of Jews. It focuses on Leo Hurwitz, a documentary film-maker and Milton Fruchtman, a producer.Koskettava kertomus vakavasta aiheesta.
- DirectorAlain ResnaisStarsMichel BouquetReinhard HeydrichHeinrich HimmlerThe history of Nazi Germany's death camps of the Final Solution and the hellish world of dehumanization and death contained inside.Sanattomaksi vetää. Riipaiseva.

- DirectorRainer KaufmannStarsNadja UhlSenta BergerAnatole TaubmanA commissioner and a public prosecutor become allies in the investigation into a case of child trafficking and child prostitution in Berlin. You are David against Goliath: courageous women who are not afraid to reveal and denounce the criminal structures protected by upper circles in politics and the judiciary, even at the risk of losing their own security. The film shows how easily children can become victims in a world between power and powerlessness, wealth and poverty and what it means for children to go through hell. Fee and Bran are two children from Romania who suffer this fate and who depend on the fact that there are people like Commissioner Wegemann and Public Prosecutor Lessing who are brave enough to look and intervene, even if they take their own risk .Pelottavan tosi vaikeasta aiheesta, johon ei varmaan koskaan saada ratkaisua, kuten elokuvan loppu karusti osoitti. Ihminen on paha.
- DirectorAntoine FuquaStarsJake GyllenhaalRachel McAdamsOona LaurenceAfter a fatal incident sends him on a rampant path of destruction, a champion boxer fights to get custody of his daughter and revive his professional career.Tiukka nyrkkeilyelokuva. Oli kaavamainen menestys-tuho-paluu - tarina. Gyllenhaalin ilmeettömyys ihan kohdallaan roolissa. Loppu meni vetistelyksi.
- DirectorAtom EgoyanStarsChristopher PlummerKim RobertsAmanda SmithWith the aid of a fellow Auschwitz survivor and a hand-written letter, an elderly man with dementia goes in search of the person he believes to be responsible for the death of his family in the death camp to kill him himself.Hieno tarina menneisyyden haamujen etsimisestä.

- DirectorStephen FingletonStarsMartin McCannMia GothOlwen FouéréIn a time of starvation, a survivalist lives off a small plot of land hidden deep in forest. When two women seeking food and shelter discover his farm, he finds his existence threatened.Melko karu tulevaisuuden dystopia. Jännitystä pidettiin yllä pienillä asioilla. Tunnelma paikoin ahdistava.
- DirectorMichael SpierigPeter SpierigStarsEthan HawkeSarah SnookNoah TaylorAs his last assignment, a temporal agent is tasked to travel back in time and prevent a bomb attack in New York in 1975. The hunt, however, turns out to be beyond the bounds of possibility.Vähän outo tarina, mutta omalla tavalla muuttui mielenkiintoiseksi lopun twistin ansiosta.
- DirectorMichel HazanaviciusStarsBérénice BejoAnnette BeningMaksim EmelyanovA French woman who works for a non-governmental organization forms a special relationship with a lost young boy in war-torn Chechnya in 1999.Yksi koskettavimmista elokuvakokemuksista pitkään aikaan. Välillä henki salpautui. Elämme julmassa maailmassa, mutta onneksi jossain aina pilkistää..
- DirectorMichaël R. RoskamStarsTom HardyNoomi RapaceJames GandolfiniBob Saginowski finds himself at the center of a robbery gone awry and entwined in an investigation that digs deeply into the neighborhood's past where friends, families, and foes all work together to make a living--no matter the cost.Mukavasti kutkuttava jännäri. Hardy ja Gandolfini jäyhiä ja ilmeettömiä, mutta kuitenkin karismaattisia. Mielenkiintoinen käsikirjoitus, taattua Lehanea.
- DirectorHoward HawksArthur RossonStarsJohn WayneMontgomery CliftJoanne DruDunson leads a cattle drive, the culmination of over 14 years of work, to its destination in Missouri. But his tyrannical behavior along the way causes a mutiny, led by his adopted son.Vanha kunnon länkkäri. Niitä osattiin ennen tehdä. Wayne oli vaan tosi hyvä köllikkä.

Now he is facing criminal charges.Koskettava ja todentuntuinen tarina miehistä sodan päätösten keskellä. Pilou Asbaeck on vaan niin uskottava, pieniä eleitä ja vakuuttavuutta.
- DirectorDavid HareStarsBill NighyRachel WeiszTom HughesJohnny works for MI5. His neighbor Nancy approaches him. When his best friend and boss suddenly dies, Johnny's left to sort out things about the PM, MI5 and US.Hyvä käsikirjoitus, loistava casting - lopputulos hieno. Gambon vei kaikki kohtaukset, joissa oli läsnä eikä Nighy kauas jäänyt. Pidin kovasti tällaisesta vanhanaikaisesta kerronnasta.

Together, they plan a series of heists against the bank that's about to foreclose on their family ranch.Hyvätunnelmainen rikostarina. Sopivan rauhallinen tahti, että tarina pääsi esille.

Kova casting.
- DirectorDavid BlairStarsNico MirallegroPhilip Hill-PearsonAndrew EllisJimmy McGovern's gritty drama stars Nico Mirallegro as guileless seventeen-year-old Johnjo O'Shea, who goes from innocent bystander to accessory to premeditated murder after giving a few friends a lift.Tämän tyylilajin britit osaavat. Vahva tunnelma, otteessa pitävä tarina. Henkilögalleria taas kerran kohdallaan. Kosketti.
- DirectorErik Van LooyStarsKarl UrbanJames MarsdenWentworth MillerFive married guys secretly share a penthouse loft in the city where they can carry out hidden affairs. The fantasy becomes a nightmare, however, when they discover a dead woman in the loft and realize one of the group must be involved.Ihan ok murhamysteeri.

- DirectorDome KarukoskiStarsAntti LitjaPetra FreyMari PerankoskiThe Grump is a man from the past. A man who knows that everything used to be so much better in the old days.

He has to spend a weekend in Helsinki to attend physiotherapy. The Grump doesn't like this for four reasons: 1) He has to take a taxi. 2) He can't take daily care of his wife, an Alzheimer's patient. 3) He can't drive, which means he might have to sit in a car with a female driver. 4) He has to spend time with his family. The daughter-in-law is a career woman, not keen to spend time with The Grump when he comes to the city. Her boss has given her the task to look after Russian businessmen supposed to close a major deal over the weekend. It doesn't make her any happier when The Grump decides to help with the deal. Then The Grump has to face his useless son to become the father he never was, teaching his son how to take care of his loved ones. A thing The Grump has never been able to do. And somebody's day will be ruined.Dome osaa tehdä lämminhenkisen tarinan hyvistä aineksista. Ei kenenkään puolella, kaikkia ymmärtävää.
- DirectorPeter BergStarsMark WahlbergKurt RussellDouglas M. GriffinA dramatization of the disaster in April 2010, when the offshore drilling rig called the Deepwater Horizon exploded, resulting in the worst oil spill in American history.Katastrofielokuvien kastissa hyvä ja toimiva. Tehokkaasti toteutettu. Sankaruuksiltahan ei näissä voi välttyä.
- DirectorTate TaylorStarsEmily BluntHaley BennettRebecca FergusonA divorcee becomes entangled in a missing persons investigation that promises to send shockwaves throughout her life.Hyvä jännäri, joka piti hyvin otteessa. Blunt on vaan niin hyvä!
- DirectorMel GibsonStarsAndrew GarfieldSam WorthingtonLuke BraceyWorld War II American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, serving during the Battle of Okinawa, refuses to kill people and becomes the first man in American history to receive the Medal of Honor without firing a shot.Vähän erilainen sotasankaritarina. Alku oli melko pitkäveteinen.
