IMO "Lucky # Slevin" is far better than "A Sum of All Fears" and would be my choice.

It's funny ... i didn't much care for 'Lucky Number Slevin' though a lot of my friends enjoyed it and it appears well received here.

I would probably go with 'Chain Reaction', 'High Crimes' or 'The Sum of All Fears'.

If you can possibly get 'The Maiden Heist' go for that.

My Thoughts:
I never even seen the trailer for this movie before today...but I have heard good things about this one. So I went into it with little to no expectations. Unfortunately I was still less then thrilled with this movie. It probably don't help that I never been much of a fan of organized crime movies. Plus I found I just didn't care about... really any of the characters. It didn't take much time at all for my attention to wander. Before I knew it... it was little more then background noise while I did other things. So I obviously didn't give it the attention it deserved... but I just found myself unable to. Besides all that... there was some scenes that caught my attention for a few moments at a time.

My Rating: 2.5/5

Movie Count: 2

I 'Surrogates' does take some concentration but I think it is a great movie.  'The Whole Ten Yards' is very funny and a good sequel to "The Whole Nine Yards".  Willis has great comedic timing and delivery.
"16 Blocks" is a good movie but not as good as the other two, in my opinion. 

I would be interested on your take of 'Harts War'.

It's a toss up between Hart's War and Surrogates.  For me,I would probably go with Hart's War.

While enjoyable, I did not find "The Whole Ten Yards" as good as the first one.

Oceans Twelve is a good movie, but is not predominately Bruce Willis (more of a cameo as himself)

Out of all the ones listed, I would choose "The Jackal", "The Sixth Sense", and "Hudson Hawk" (I know strange choice, but I thoroughly enjoyed it).

My opinion

Charlie

My Thoughts:
I never even heard of this movie before it was given to me this past September... and only first watched the trailer for it yesterday. The trailer looked really good to me... but I was quickly warned that I really have to pay attention to this movie as it can get pretty strange and hard to follow. But I didn't find that to be true watching it...I was able to follow it just fine. But then again... once I started watching it I was hooked. It kept my attention from beginning to the end. And I enjoyed it quite a bit. I found myself fascinated by the storyline. I can definitely see myself watching this one again.

My Rating: 4/5

Movie Count: 3
