Directed By: Dominic Sena Starring: Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie and Giovanni Ribisi Genre: Action – Crime – Thriller Runtime: 1 hour 58 minutes Studio: Touchstone Pictures Similar Movies: Face/Off (1997), Wanted (2008). Watch Trailer

This film is the result of flowing together a flimsy storyline, great direction and best echelon actors like Angelina Jolie, Nicholas Cage and Robert Duvall. This plot is all about a retired car thief Nicholas Cage that has to steal fifty cars for four days simply because his brother messed up the job. I just adore the adrenaline rush I get from watching it!

Angelina Jolie was great although her part didn’t do her justice. General a very exciting movie that could be watched again and again.

Directed By: Phillip Noyce Starring: Angelina Jolie, Denzel Washington and Queen Latifah Genre: Crime – Drama – Mystery Runtime: 1 hour 59 minutes Studio: NBC Universal Similar Movies: Girl, Interrupted (1999), Pushing Tin (1999). Watch Trailer

This is a great film with a fantastic cast. If you are an Angelina Jolie film lover, you will understand that Any kind of film with Angelina Jolie is worth watching, because she can act out any role incredibly. Angelina Jolie is incredibly great as Amelia and Denzel Washington is amazing as usual. Angelina Jolie plays a police officer with a knack for ‘forensics’. Between the 2 of them, they try to apprehend a serial killer who simply leaves clues behind.

I recommend this film to anyone who adores thrillers, mysteries and there is also some drama in this one as well. I will point out that some of the scenes are really graffic and nasty but they almost have to be because this film is a total attention catcher.

 

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

Directed By: Doug Liman Starring: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Genre: Action – Comedy – Romance Runtime: 2 hour 00 minutes Studio: 20th Century Fox Similar Movies: Knight and Day (2010), Sahara (2005). Watch Trailer

I believed this movie was a lot of fun to watch. I’m sure right now we can almost all agree that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have crazy chemistry, and they are beautiful on the big screen. Angelina Jolie was charming, very pretty lady and she did a great job when acting with weapons and in the fight scenes. She had amazed me, definitely.

If you prefer love stories but often find them too sappy, or if you love action movies but often become bored by gratuitous violence, you will most probably like this film, which strikes a great harmony between both. A must see movie.

 

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)

Directed By: Simon West Starring: Angelina Jolie, Jon Voight Genre: Action – Adventure – Fantasy Runtime: 1 hour 41 minutes Studio: Paramount Similar Movies: Blade: Trinity (2004), The Scorpion King (2002). Watch Trailer

Lara Croft is a successful, British antiquities hunter, who journeys to unusual places, looking for items and artifacts in historic tombs and ruins. She is qualified in hand-to-hand fight, in handling guns and she speaks many international languages. Angelina Jolie an Oscar winner is definitely a reputable actress and went through three months of preparing training to become this movie hero. I was completely amazed by Angelina Jolie with her performing most of her own stunts.

I believed that action scenes while using bungee cord was pretty cool. I highly recommend this film to anybody who is a lover of Angelina, you aren’t supposed to take this film critically, its just a enjoyable chill out film.

 

Alexander (2004)

Directed By: Oliver Stone Starring: Angelina Jolie, Colin Farrell and Anthony Hopkins Genre: Action – Adventure – Biography Runtime: 2 hours 56 minutes Studio: Warner Bros. Similar Movies: Rob Roy (1995), The Red Baron (2008). Watch Trailer

Oliver Stone, who directed and wrote the script for the movie, did an excellent job re-creating the life of Alexander the Great. To begin with Angelina Jolie as Colin Farell’s mother? In the real world they are 1 year apart. So why does not she grow older at all during Alexander’s life. Angelina Jolie provides a remarkably reassuring performance as Alexander’s manipulative mom and provide us reassurance of the reason why she took home the Oscar that nighttime. General, this is a nice, action-packed movie.

 

Salt (2010)

Directed By: Phillip Noyce Starring: Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber Genre: Action – Crime – Mystery Runtime: 1 hour 41 minutes Studio: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Similar Movies: Shooter (2007), The Tourist (2010). Watch Trailer

Once again, Angelina Jolie does a great job of performing the main character in an action movie. Her role is credible, and powerful. Only a few woman actresses could pull off a hard-hitting action role such as this.

This film offers quite a bit of creativity’s and turns and keeps you guessing! There’s enough action, bullets and stunts in this film to keep you interested for the whole film, barely time to catch your breath. Pretty good to watch again later on.

 

Wanted (2008)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A simple and spectacular action thriller from the director of the “Night Watch” trilogy Timur Bekmanbeton. This is a very reduce adaptation of the questionable cult graphic book “Wanted” by Mark Millar as it provides for us a stunning and often funny yet ultraviolet look at being a frustrated man with rage within him.

Exclusive mention goes to Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie, who manage their roles incredibly. I’ve been a fan of both stars, but having them in the same movie in close proximity is a huge benefit.

 

The Tourist (2010)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Two giant stars, Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, team up to help to make “The Tourist,” a 2010 movie directed and moderately published by Florian Henkel von Donnersmarck, who directed the wonderful “The Lives of Others.

Not a standard “love” story, nevertheless the forces sexual pressure and passion could only be held back through the presence of the immense dignity of the characters and respect they’ve for each other. If you are a lover of Hitchcock-ian type thrillers, this is a fantastic way to spend a few hours.

 

Girl, Interrupted (1999)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Angelina Jolie won Best Supporting Actress for performing Lisa, a sometimes enormous and constantly interesting patient there because of her anti-social personality. Lisa Angelina Jolie is the character everybody will at the same time hate and empathize with. Think about a Sociopath, she definitely fits the mold. Angelina does a fantastic job convincing us she is mad.

All in all I’d personally say this film was excellent. There is not a moment when I did not recognize with at least one or more of the characters. The stars kept you enticed.

 

Changeling (2008)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
I think it is very unusual that Angelina Jolie could display such a spectacular performance. The movie has the kind of script that does not really flow but in it’s natural stillness the movie finds something quite impressive. Jolie’s for ages been at best a second-rate actress but this film’s impressive end were able to sinch lots of emotions out of me.

Overall, “Changeling” is quite difficult to sit through, but it’s not much less remarkable, successful or excellent than any of the last 5 movies Eastwood has produced.
