INSIDE MAN, 2006

Who is the Inside Man, anyway? Jodie Foster?

Directed by Spike Lee.

SPARTAN, 2004

Val Kilmer has really let himself go since playing this secret agent who searches for a kidnapped Veronica Mars (good thing she's cute) as the body count mounts around him.

Directed by David Mamet.

THE SPANISH PRISONER, 1997

How many cons in this movie? Are you sure? Really?

Directed by David Mamet.

M, 1931

I don't know which is scarier, the child killer or the folks who go after him.

Directed by Fritz Lang.

DARK CITY, 1998

Waaaaaay better than the Matrix, Mr. Book. And Rufus Sewell is NOT terribly mustachioed.

Directed by Alex Proyas.

RIPLEY'S GAME, 2002

Everyone's favorite sociopath, played by everyone's favorite droll egg-headed actor. (Makes me never want to use the bathroom on a train.)

Directed by Liliana Cavani.

INFERNAL AFFAIRS, 2002

A mole in the police force and one in a gang work to out each other. A more descriptive title might be Internal Affairs. But why pass on the chance to be cute? And don't get too invested in the woman on the American DVD cover. She doesn't appear in the movie.

Directed by Wai Keung Lau and Siu Fai Mak.

LAURA, 1944

Lotsa fellas dig Laura. She's a big-city gal with an apartment of her own and a gigantunormous portrait of herself. So why would anyone want to off her?

Directed by Otto Preminger.
