The Accountant (2016) crime-action movie that is kind of IF John Wick was also a forensic accountant. Ben Affleck plays the title character. kind of a convoluted plot that is somewhat tough to follow at times BUT has excellent action and an interesting "twist" at the end. playing on Dish-TV PPV and I thought it was worth the "comp" certificate I used to record it. I rate it of four
Now You See Me 2 (2016) sequel to the 2013 heist-action movie with similar magic tricks, plot twists and a completely crazy ending. about the same cast as the original but with Lizzy Caplan replacing Isla Fisher as a the female member of "The Four Horsemen". I thought the first one was very fast paced and entertaining and this one in some ways is even better. been playing on HBO all month and worth a look . I rate it of four same as the original
Bridge of Spies (2015) historical cold war "spy stuff" about the 1962 "swap" of Soviet KGB spy Rudolf Abel for American U-2 spy plane pilot Francis Gary Powers. Tom Hanks plays the lawyer that puts the deal together. NO real "slam-bang" action in it BUT a well acted movie with an interesting plot and a LOT of suspense. the guy that plays Able won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. and the movie was nominated for Best Picture. did NOT know there was a third person held by the East Germans involved in the prisoner exchange. been playing on Showtime all month. I rate it of four
The Peacemaker (1997) George Clooney and Nicole Kidman chasing a "loose nuke" acquired by terrorists stolen by a corrupt Red Army general. pretty much non-stop action and excellent suspense and definitely worth a look for action fans. played recently on Starz channel and hopefully will repeat soon. I rate it of four
