Crime dramas are taking up a lot of movie screens lately and the frontrunner in my estimation is Conviction, a taut true account of an accused murderer. Filmmakers do an excellent job of bringing the true story to life with excellent acting, direction and a plausible Hollywood script. The crime biopic is inspirational, touching and convincing with possible Oscar nominations a plenty.
In general Hereafter is a good film, but it does have its problems. After the super big opening the film starts to drag, not all the main characters are fleshed out enough to sympathize with and the ending becomes obvious early on. For those who enjoy disaster films like The Day After Tomorrow and 2012 you won’t want to miss the beginning of Hereafter.
Superb acting is featured in Stone, a provocative drama that I found fascinating yet quite implausible. The show here comes from the strength of DeNiro, Norton and Jovovich’s performances that are sensational. If you like stories of passion and betrayal, then Stone should make your day.
