Runaway Jury (2003)
DVD Special Features
Some great interviews with Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman reminiscing about their friendship and how they first met. I found that to be worth renting the DVD alone. Plus an interesting scene breakdown and acting styles given by both Gene, Dustin and the Director about the veterans 7 minute scene together.
Matchstick Men (2003)
Ridley Scott takes a step back for the better.
I have to admit that I am not a huge Ridley Scott fan, well at least not of his most recent films. One thing for sure is he does know how to pick them. This is a more character driven film with a great cast.
I saw this film a couple days ago and it has really stuck with me. Nicolas Cage gives a great performance as usual, but not in that Tom Hanks way. Sam Rockwell is probably one of the most underrated actors. Allison Lohman gives a memorable performance to say the least. I hate reading reviews on con movies because either they work or they don't. This is a movie that the less you know going in it the better. On that note this film works and maybe worthy of Oscar noms in more than one category.
