Aug 25, 2002Nuclear Terrorism/Tom Clancy Adaptation
Fourth of the Tom Clancy Jack Ryan films, which performs a confusing continuity reset to recast the role with the younger Ben Affleck. The film's release was delayed by 9/11, which makes the plot about nuclear terrorism on US soil seems absurdly tame in retrospect

Apr 6, 2004Precognition/Action Film/Philip K. Dick Adaptation
This Philip K. Dick adaptation has a great premise – Ben Affleck is an engineer with a blanked memory blanked only to find he has left himself clues from the future of things that are starting to come true. Alas, this is reduced to an action vehicle in the hands of John Woo

Feb 11, 2025Cat and Mouse Game with a Killer on the Backroads
Robert Harmon made the classic The Hitcher, but failed to ever follow up on it. This is the sole work that ever came close – a beautifully tense series of games between Jim Caviezel and a motorised killer on the backroads

Rating: ★
Nov 13, 2005Demonic Possession/"True Story"
This became a big sensation with its claims to be on the true account of an exorcism even if director Scott Derrickson alters what actually happened to the point of complete fiction. The rest just rehashes cliches from The Exorcist

WarGames: The Dead Code (2006)
Rating: ★
Aug 13, 2009Teen Hacker Thriller/Amok A.I.
WarGames was a thriller that was way ahead of its time; this sequel is no more than video fodder exploiting recognition factor that reduces the original to hacker movie cliches in a technically ill-informed and incoherent plot

May 10, 2019Evil Child/Reincarnated Serial Killer
In this space of three films, Nicholas McCarthy has risen to the top of this site's Up and Coming Directors to watch list. On a script level, this is a standard Evil Child film but is made something worth watching by McCarthy's directorial jumps
