Enigma (2001)
A young genius frantically races against time to crack an enemy code and solve the mystery surrounding the woman he loves.
Fairly interesting thriller with good set pieces and a complex plot, but not that exciting or suspsenseful.
Halliwell (no star): "Stolidly old-fashionedmovie, in the style of Second World War propaganda films, that segues into an even more old-fashioned spy yarn of derring-do."
Maltin**1/2: "Great material...and faultless re-creation of the period ought to make for a top-notch film, but this one peters out as it becomes unfocused and - yes - confusing."

Klimt (2006)
Austrian artist Gustav Klimt last thoughts and dreams while in his deathbed.
Despite production value and and some good performances this is a messy and pretentious effort to make a surrealist statement about art at the turn of the century.
Maltin*1/2: "Gorgeous but faux-artsy biopic...Pretentious, factually questionable, and annoyingly hallucinatory, elevated only by the luminous paintings and abundant nudity. A somnolent Malkovich makes not the slightest effort to sound anything but pure Illinoisan."

Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Searching for a cure to Alzheimer's disease a group of scientists on an isolated research facility become the bait as a trio of intelligent sharks fight back.
Slick, enjoyable, tongue-in-cheek deep sea shark thriller.
This is one of those movies German TV keeps repeating time and again, but I do enjoy watching it, cause it's got Saffron Burrows in it, and I like its humour. And again: I still enjoy it:-)
Halliwell (no star): "Basically a B movie on steroids, this delivers all the expected, and more than familiar, thrills and spills, but lacks suprise."
Maltin **1/2: "Sometimes-exciting combinationof JAWS and ALIEN has some surprises, but terrible dialogue and a preposterous premise."
