[The_Return]

Knowing (2009)

Probably the smartest Hollywood movie that I've seen in ages - a very pleasant surprise. Don't pass on this one just because the trailers make it look like mass-produced, lowest common denominator mindless sci-fi: it's nothing of the sort.

It has some flaws to be sure - mostly, I found the CGI a bit poor - but the script more than makes up for it. Personally I put no stock in fate or destiny whatsoever, and therefore I found things a bit unbelievable at first...but once you get in the right mindset, everything makes perfect sense and comes together seamlessly. Cage even does a good job here, which is something we sadly haven't been able to say for awhile.

Thank you very much for suggesting this one _V_ - I probably wouldn't have bothered if not for the praise it's been getting here on HDC. I'll gladly second the recommendation.
