Heir to an Execution (2004)
Fascinating Study of Anti-Communist paranoia.
A very brave thing for Ivy to do & a good exploration of the paranoia of Cold War Mentality. The Rosenberg situation was a product of the times, regardless of what other reviewers say. They did not do anything to deserve the death penalty, perhaps only prison. Spoiler: The real tragedy is that Julius was willing to put his family at risk by his political activities. He must have known the consequences of being caught; was it worth it to pass info to the Soviets? It was never made clear what goal he hoped to achieve as a result of his espionage. The fact that he & Ethel acted so nobly after their arrest was amazing! Much better, as Michael said than to live the life of David Greenglass. Is the shame worse for a traitor to your country or to your friends & family?
The Bone Collector (1999)
Angelina Jolie's Lips!
Spoiler
Not recommended for murder mystery fans. Cliché Characters and unbelievable situations. Too many close-ups looking up at Denzel's nostrils & Angelina Jolie's lips. Spoiler: Intense Blue-eyed killer is actually Hazel-eyed wimp with confusing motivation & choice of victims. Very obscure clues always made sense to Link, he knew the meaning right away. Phony bloody ending disappoints any who might have been trying to follow what could have been a fascinating thriller. Denzel was great acting within his character's handicap! But how could he afford that fantastic apartment & Medical set-up? I want to have his HMO! Some interesting support characters, but anti-climactic story.
