Thick as Thieves (USA Title “The Code”)

Posted on August 8, 2009 by admin

Interesting cops and robbers movie with a good plot, twists and turns for an ending, but relatively low budget. It was released direct-to-DVD in the US and probably appropriately so. It involves Morgan Freeman in an atypical role. It was … Continue reading →

Changeling

Brief opinion: It’s like watching a 141 minute Dateline special. I’m glad I had other things to do at the same time.
