List Of The Best Crime Movies:
NOTE: This list of crime movies is not complete, definite or the best one by
any means. It
will be updated over time, as new good crime movies, worth watching, are made...
If i missed to mention some good crime movies please feel free to contact me and i'll add
them to the list. This list is made of titles i have watched or
read/heard are good and watchable. If you don't agree with some of movies
listed here it's perfectly ok since we can't all have the same taste :)

List Of Reviewed Crime Movies:
The latest part of Saw movie series... It
was what i expected, horror-crime with lots of sick and
bloody scenes... Many have told Saw V will be the worst
part so far before it hit the public but in my opinion
they were wrong :) It is not the best part but is
defiantly worth watching, especially if you liked
previous Saw movies... Saw V gets pretty good 3.5 out of
maximum 5 from me :)

The Alphabet Killer is movie based on true
killings in Rochester, NY... Personally i love movies
based on true stories because i'm aware what i'm
watching actually happened to someone... I liked The
Alphabet Killer because it kept me tense whole time and
till the last few scenes i couldn't tell who the serial
killer was... On the other hand mental problems of main
character were a bit distracting and i think movie would
be better if it was only focused on murders and
killer... Anyway, The Alphabet Killer gets solid 4 out
of maximum 5 from me :)

Before getting Hero Wanted i heard good
words about it, that it's about just a regular guy who
became local hero by saving a girl's life and i really
liked the idea... However after watching it myself i was
a bit disappointed... it's not completely bad, i mean
idea is there, it could be awesome crime movie without
destroying half a town with flashy explosions and
special effects, but something was missing... Maybe it
was too slow for my taste... Hero Wanted will get 2.5
out of maximum 5 from me...

It was nice to watch good and slow family
drama for a change after several action movies i watched
recently :) Frozen River is movie about woman who lives
alone with her two sons near Canada-USA border... Since
her husband left she is in debts and can't cover them
all with regular job, so when she accidentally met girl
who smuggles people into USA she was forced to join her
in order to earn some extra cash... That's when problems
started... As i said Frozen River is good drama and i'm
giving it very good 4 out of maximum 5 :)

I just finished watching of "XIII -
The Conspiracy (2008)" that lasted about 3 hours :)
that's a little too long for my taste but it was worth
time spend... it's about NSA agent that infiltrated into
a well organized group of specials who assassinated the
first ever female USA president... as i said, it's ok
action movie and it gets 4 out of maximum 5 from me :)

I was looking at some titles i have
watched some time ago and saw Anamorph from 2007...
Since i couldn't remember what it was about i just
played it expecting good thriller (it was marked as one
on my movies list)... Damn, was i wrong... after 15-20
minutes i knew why i couldn't remember it - i never
watched it till the end because first time when i played
it i got so bored after half an hour that i just quit it
and played something else... However Anamorph stayed on
my PC because i wanted to give it another chance one day
just in case i wasn't in mood for thrillers that day...
But as i said it failed again and i am giving it 2 out
of maximum 5 and recommend everybody to avoid it...

Here we go, another movie with terrorism
and terrorists, one of many many others made in near
past... Will American propaganda ever stop? Like anyone
who got half of a normal human's brain will ever swallow
it (check out Documentary category and Zeitgeist movies
to see who really was behind 9/11 and other so called
"terrorist" attacks) :( anyway, i'm not here to talk
about politics but about movie and Traitor is a good
one... It offers lots of tense action, insight view of
Muslim life and habits (i can't say how much it's
relevant since i'm not Muslim tho) and few unexpected turns
in story that will keep you interested till the end :) I'm giving it
4 out of maximum 5 :)

Pineapple Express is very good
crime-comedy about two guys (stoner and his drug dealer)
running for their lives as they are being chased by
local drug boss and corrupted woman cop who killed some
Asian guy (member of Asian drug dealers clan) because
stoner guy witnessed that... Whole movie is filled with
funny scenes, pretty good characters and good story for
a comedy... Pineapple Express will get very good 4 from
me and you should definitely check it out :)

I just watched Gran Torino... I've read some reviews before watching it
and in most of them Gran Torino got pretty good comments
but somehow this movie just wasn't for me :) don't get
me wrong, it's not bad at all, it's just i personally
didn't find it entertaining as i expected it to be... Clint Eastwood
was an excellent bad-mood war veteran who got sick of
local gangs and decided to help his neighbors... also
the end of movie was not like 99% of today's movies
would finish, he used his brains rather then brute force
to put bad guys where they belong to and for that it has
my compliments... I am giving 3 out of maximum 5 to Gran Torino
which means you should see it and then deicide if you'll
like it or not... it's ok movie but as i said, wasn't
for me which doesn't mean you won't like it :) i say
again, on many other sites it got pretty good rates...

I have read several reviews of Appaloosa
before watching it and in some of them it got good
ratings while in others it was rated as one of worst
westerns made recently... I personally liked it and i
think it's good movie, not one of best westerns but just
a good one... Movie follows two cowboys that arrived to town called
Appaloosa where they found big problems with
gangsters that sheriff and town authorities couldn't
solve... Two of them then made a deal with authorities
to hand over town to them and in return they will
protect it's citizens... I am not going to uncover
further events in movie, i'll just say that all 3 main actors (Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen and Jeremy Irons)
did good job while main actress (Renee Zellweger) was
pretty lame... As i said on start Appaloosa is worth
watching at least once so i'm giving it 3.5 out of maximum 5... if you like westerns
make it 4 :)
