The Clearing (2004)
Impressive acting
the story of this movie is not that big deal, you see a lot of movies like these all around the world, but, the impressive acting skills of William Dafoe and Mirren, that what gave this movie a taste.
The story was predictable, although the ending was surprising a little bet, I expected something different.
What i loved most about the movie was the acting, William Dafoe was really into the character, he played well, and i was impressed.
Also Mirren Played such a wonderful role, I liked the way she was cool and all quiet, you didn't see her fall apart at the end when she gets the bad news, wonderful performance she did, i think it's the best role she ever played.
Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)
Another Copy of "Hard Rain"
I didn't see the old version, but when i watched this one, it some how reminded me of a movie called "Hard Rain", to those who didn't watch it yet, i recommend Hard Rain more, although the story is different somehow, but you can see the similarity in the 2 main characters, Morgan Freeman as Laurence, Christian Slater as Ethan. also there was a similarity in the weather, tough rainy weather in Hard Rain,, hard snow storm. Now the ending is exactly the same, the gangster and the cop goes in their different ways, not to mention they don't end up shooting each other in the movie, because they had a truce, the same exactly you see in Hard Rain, they unite to fight the bad people, at the end, Morgan Freeman walks away and the Guard "Christian Slater" goes with his girlfriend who helped to fight with them.
so technically, It's just another way of making Hard Rain.
