The Rookie (2002)
Good story.. bit too long
The movie actually has a fairly good story, but gets bogged down in several key places. It's almost as if the director threw the movie together without taking the time to make some essential cuts in the film. Dennis Quaid does a fairly decent job in his role... but something is clearly missing from several key scenes.
This 2.5 hour movie could have been reduced to about a 2 hour movie. And probably would have been a much better film had it not had the feel as if it was thrown together.
Panic Room (2002)
Good movie, poor ending.
This movie had me sitting on the edge of my seat until the end of the movie. Jody Foster performed very well in the leading role. And literally I enjoyed 95% of the movie. It was the last 5% that caused me to have a let-down.
The problem was that there were several outcomes at the end of the film, and I felt that the writer choose a very safe ending. What disappointed me about the ending was that there was no 'grey' area. The movie ended quickly and in a very neat and tidy hollywood script fashion.
