The film received mostly favorable reviews from many film critics. It was released in United States and Canada on November 12, 2010.

The film is a 20th century Fox drama about a runaway freight train which carries a cargo or toxic chemicals. It is the story of a veteran engineer and his young conductor who race against time to stop an unmanned, half-mile-long, runaway freight train full of explosive liquids and poisonous gas to prevent a catastrophe in a heavily populated area.

The movie is inspired by an incident called as “CSX 8888” incident or “Crazy Eights” unmanned train incident of 2001. When the film was released, many critics compared the events of film to the real-life incident.
The movie is the best example of a thriller which keeps the viewers on a cliffhanger of curiosity. It is a classic entertainer exploring everything from the protagonist to the antagonist of the story.

Taxi Driver is a thriller set in New York City starring Robert De Niro. The film was a financial success and also one of the highest grossing films of the year at box office. The film won several awards and has also been selected for preservation in the U.S National Film Registry.

The story is about Robert, a Vietnam vet who has a fascination with the low life of the city and is struggling to come to terms with the environment he lives in. To study the life there, he chooses to drive his taxi at night in the shady areas. There is an instance where he has a politician as a passenger and the dialogues of it have been scripted extremely well. He then meets a young prostitute played by Jodie Foster and his mission becomes to rescue her and unite her with her folk.

The film has extreme emotions depicted smartly. The centre character has been played brilliantly by Robert and he fills life into the character. The film is a cinematic masterpiece. The scene in which he practices his moves in front of the mirror has been the most inspiring and a highly imitated scene.

Taxi Driver is an unforgettable film that exposes the dark side of New York City. The character study of Robert is praise worthy and the film remains an all time favorite and a classic.

The Sixth Sense is a psychological thriller film. The script has been smartly written which doesn’t involve manipulating the audiences with any tricks of story telling and mostly concentrates on psychology and its attentive observation. The film is about an award winning psychologist who tries to help a young boy who sees the dead, literally. Its also has his redemption for an old similar case with another boy which was unsuccessful. There has been an intelligent use of characters and their importance goes beyond their appearance.

The film has witnessed some magnificent performances by Bruce Willis as the psychologist and the young boy Haley Joel Osment in the character of Cole Sear. Bruce Willis has delivered a sober and clever performance with the precise knowledge of standing back and yet creating a significant presence. The young boy too has performed like an adult with the required accuracies without trying to be cute.

The film’s screenplay is realistic and emphasizes more on the psychology than on the arty shots or special effects. The film takes the realistic interpretation of ghosts instead of big scary ones with special effects which forces the audiences to believe what they are being shown. There has been efficient use of dark lights and faded colors which creates the effect of realism. The movie plays with logic and observation in understanding the psychology than emphasizing on the ghosts.

The film has been directed incredibly but it has its share of flaws too. There are music pieces used in the film where an eerie silence would have suited better. In comparison to the story telling style of the film, the scene with the little poisoned girl is a little less realistic. The brusque end of the film is a little offbeat when compared to the slow path of the film. It leaves the audiences with a shock and would actually invite them for repeated watching to hunt down the clues leading to such an end.

The focus is on the psychological effect than on outright horror and the film has impressive performances and incredible direction with a mind-blowing twist. All of which make it a must watch!

If one believes that a film can be judged from the first few minutes of its commencement, then they should revise their opinion before they watch The Prestige. The camera initially is completely out of focus, there are flashbacks and also flash forwards instantly, there are characters who are shown talking about things that there is no way that the audience understands. But you have to trust the film enough to watch it a little more, and there is no doubt that you will absolutely love the film!

You might be interested to know that the film is actually about the lives of two rival magicians, how they live their lives, how their career grows and how they spend their lives and careers rivaling each other. However, the plot of the film is really not as simple as it may sound now; actually there are so many surprises and so many different turns in plot at different places in the film that it might be a little difficult to keep track for those who are not paying attention.

The film is a masterpiece from the perspective of being a piece of art, even though it might not be totally easy to comprehend for some people; the film is the highest level of entertainment. Like Memento, Nolan has been able to achieve another great film with a brilliant cast and an absolutely thrilling storyline.

Even though the film was released as way back as 1971, if somebody watches it now he or she would feel that the film has been recently released, for A Clockwork Orange achieves one thing if not others that it is one of the most modern older films ever made. The main reason why such a statement can be made about the film is because the issues that the film deals with are issues that are still prevalent in today’s world and have not gone away yet. Believe it or not however, when the film was initially released it had gained the rating of an infamous ‘X’ and this is because of all the violence and the nudity in the film, though the rating has been revised to an ‘R’ now. The film is told in a city of England in the near future sometime. What the film portrays is the violent acts of ruffians and who are roaming the street; robbing, murdering, raping and terrorizing. On the other hand there is the rehabilitation plan that the government has come up with for the prisoners that they are about to release.

The film is at the same time repulsive in bits and intensely thought provoking in others. The legendary director Stanley Kubrik’s aim was to put forward questions in the audience’s mind; their support of the government’s procedures, the things that humanity is willing to give up for the sake of living in a society that would keep them safe. Partly an allegory, it is one of the finest of English dark dramas.
