Two weeks and two Anne Hathaway films. Isn't the title of this post oh so clever? This time we find Hathaway as a doctor specializing in patients that have experienced extreme trauma. In
Passengers she's counseling the survivors of a plane crash, but she soon realizes that their stories don't add up and discovers a possible corporate cover up. One of her patients, the ever handsome Patrick Wilson, is the saving grace of the film. This film really balances on the chemistry of Hathaway and Wilson; and there is some nice chemistry. Wilson's character is full of Tony Stark level charm and his charisma just makes you smile. I personally have not seen a single preview for this film, so I have no idea of how it's being marketed. It's not a thriller. Don't go see the film hoping to be scared, because you'll be disappointed. But it's a fine drama, if only a little unoriginal.
Well it's October. You know what that means: time for another gritty New York cop drama. Unfortunately,
this is one of the weaker cop dramas in recent memory; very disappointing considering the cast, but fitting considering how long ago this film was shot. It's not that
Pride and Glory is awful, it's just that it's kinda blah. I wasn't bored during the film, instead I found myself to be frustrated - frustrated that not one of these tough guys could grow a pair and just do the right thing already!
