Rate-a-Trailer: Liam Neeson and January Jones in Unknown

By Caroline Stanley on

2011′s Unknown (not to be confused with 2006′s Unknown) is one of those movies that easily translates into a thrilling trailer. You’ve got lots of action (car wrecks, things exploding, hand-to-hand combat), beautiful women (January Jones and Diane Kruger), and mysteries (Where is Liam Neeson’s passport?

Rate-a-Trailer: The Next Three Days

By Caroline Stanley on

We were skeptical when we heard that Paul Haggis, the director of Crash, was working on an action movie, but The Next Three Days looks like it combines his skill for mining the darker parts of humanity with cool stunts and things that go boom.

After she tries to commit suicide at the prospect of spending another 20 years in prison, he decides that it’s time to learn how to use a gun and break her out. Liam Neeeson plays the ex-con who helps him come up with a plan. … Read More

By Chris Kompanek on

Atom Egoyan’s new thriller explores themes of jealousy and passion with a European sensibility that puts a smart spin on the love-triangle trope.

Based on 2004 French film Nathalie, Erin Cressida Wilson’s subversive script follows a woman (Julianne Moore) as she hires a prostitute (Amanda Seyfried) to test the fidelity of her husband (Liam Neeson). As their encounters grow more intense, the lines between reality and fantasy blur and unexpected desires are awakened in all three. Universally strong performances anchor a wild story that ventures into the uncharted depths of human sexuality. … Read More
