Suspect Zero

Dirty War

From HBO comes a tight thriller that is not only utterly suspenseful and accurate, but also horribly frightening in the potential prospect it delivers. It is centered around a fanatical terrorist splinter cell preparing an attack on London while the [...]

After The Sunset

I’m a sucker for crime capers. Always been and always will be. From classic films such as "Topkapi" all the way to new entries like "The Score." Now, "Rush Hour" director Brett Ratner tried his hand at the genre, bringing [...]
