The Report (2019)

Idealistic Senate staffer Daniel J. Jones, tasked by his boss to lead an investigation into the CIA's post 9/11 Detention and Interrogation Program, uncovers shocking secrets.

Well-told and sober account of the investigation into one the darkest chapters of American history is gripping and suspenseful; the excellent cast helps.

In the Shadow of the Moon (2019)

A Philadelphia police officer struggles with a lifelong obsession to track down a mysterious serial killer whose crimes defy explanation.

Nicely staged sci-fi crime drama is at first interesting, but has one main problem: it's yet again another time-travel story beyond any plausibility.

Gamer (2009)

In a future mind-controlling game, death row convicts are forced to battle in a 'Doom'-type environment.

Action-packed sci-fi thriller made in video game aesthetics and with a message, but basically just as mindless as the games it seems to critisize.

Maltin**1/2: "Neo-modern take on this premise is unexceptional in terms of plot but holds its own for techno-thriller devotees, upgrded by Hall an Butler's performances."
