Momentum (2015)



4 criminals steal diamonds from a safe deposit box in Cape Town - including a drive containing a US senator's evil plans who will do anything to get it back.

Standard conspiracy actioner is predictable and only mildly entertaining, despite a capable cast.

The Water Diviner (2014)



An Australian man travels to Turkey after the Battle of Gallipoli to try and locate his three missing sons.

The movie tells an otherwise heart-wrenching story with great cinematography and a competent cast, but somehow doesn't manage to be as touching as it seeks to be.

A veteran assigned to extract Earth's remaining resources begins to question what he knows about his mission and himself.

An intelligently made sci-fi movie that will satisfy fans of the genre with its fantastic settings and desolate post-apocalyptic, but beatiful landscapes and a story that keeps your attention as the mystery unravels.

On second view: still like it for the same reasons.


Maltin**1/2: "Intriguing if unoriginal science-fiction premise, from director Kosinski's graphic novel, becomes more obvious as it heads toward a less-than-startling conclusion. Never boring, thanks to outstanding production design...and solid performances from its highly attractive stars."
