The crime movies of 2002 ranged from horrible (Kangaroo Jack) to new classics (Road to Perdition). Let's take a look back.
Movies I Saw: Super Troopers category: drug dealers grade: B point of view: cops review: this was a comedy that was very funny. Taking down pot dealers was one of the plots.
Collateral Damage category: terrorists, drug dealers grade: B or B- pov: cops review: not as bas as I thought it would be! John Leguizamo is good as a gangsta rapper coke dealer, and the terrorist situation was decent and realistic.
John Q. category: thiefs, terrorists (?) grade: C pov: thief review: Denzel Washington followed up the classic Training Day with this medicore movie. He has to pull out a gun and hold a hospital hostage to get his son taken care of when he can not provide the money.
Showtime category: gangstas grade: C- pov: cops review: as much as I love DeNiro, the whole buddy cop movie thing ended with this movie. I really didnt like it much at all. A few good parts, but that's it.
Panic Room category: thiefs grade: B+ pov: victims review: If you count Monsoon Wedding as a 2001 movie, then this was the first realy good movie of 2002. Realistic, funny, and full of suspense.
Deuces Wild category: Mafia grade: C pov: Mafia review: the first Mafia movie of the year was a medicore one. It was like a grown up Bronx Tale. I liked how Big Pussy was in it, and it wasn't that bad except for the cliches and bad writing.
Insomnia category: murderers grade: A- pov: cops review: Besides Monsoon Wedding, this was the first great movie of 2002. Robin Williams acted great as the suffocater of a teenager girl. Al Pacino was very good as well.
Minority Report category: murderers grade: A...maybe A- pov: cops review: The first classic of 2002. This was a futuristic crime movie that blew me away.
Road to Perdition category: Mafia grade: A pov: Mafia review: a new mafia classic. The Irish mafia never looked so good. Tom Hanks, Paul Newman and Jude Law all give performances.
Austin Powers in Goldmember category: terrorists grade: B pov: secrent agent and terrorist review: A comedy. A very good comedy, too.
One Hour Photo category: stalkers grade: A- pov: stalker review: One of the best Robin Williams performance I've seen. He makes you scared of him and pity him at the same time. Great movie.
Undisputed category: gangstas, Mafia grade: B pov: gangstas review: An okay prison movie about boxing that’s kind of like Oz.
Red Dragon category: murderers grade: B+ pov: cops and murderer review: A fine serial killer movie with nice acting by Edward Norton, Raplh Fiennes, Emily Watson and Philip Semyour Hoffman. Scary as hell.
Die Another Day category: terrorists grade: B/B- pov: secret agents and terrorists review: kind of a dumb movie. but i love James Bond movies.
Analyze That: category: Mafia grade: C+ pov: Mafia review: silly, funny, and sometimes dumb. The first was better cause it was more realstic.
Gangs Of New York: category: Mafia grade: A- pov: Mafia review: another Irish gangster movie, which I dub as a "Mafia" movie, cause later, the gang will turn into a mafia. It wasnt as good as I thought it was going to be, but I still liked it. Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, and John C. Reily (the guy who ran for mayor) were good, but Daniel Day-Lewis steals the show as Bill the Butcher.
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind category: terrorists grade: A(-) pov: secret agents review: hilarious and cool. see this movie for a great CIA movie.
Movies I Wanna See: Murder By Numbers category: murderers The Salton Sea category: drug dealers The Sum of all Fears category: terrorists The Bourne Identity category: terrorists (?) Gangster No. 1 category: gangsters City By The Sea category: murderers The Rules Of Attraction category: drug dealers Paid In Full category: gangstas Empire category: gangstas, drug dealers Narc category: drug dealers 25th Hour category: drug dealers
Movies I Sorta Wanna See All About the Benjamins category: thiefs, gangstas High Crimes category: murderers Big Trouble category: terrorists Undercover Brothers category: terrorists Stealing Hardvard: category: thiefs Trapped category: gangsters Welcome to Collinwood category: thiefs Knockaround Guys category: mafia The Transporter category: gangsters Formula 51 category: drug dealers Abandon category: murderers El Crime De Padre Amaro category: drug dealers Snipes category: gangsta Bad Company: category: terrorists

thanks. It's kind of hard being obssessed with movies...i bet no one here's ever heard of Gangster No. 1, Abandon, or The Salton Sea (they play it on HBO now, watch it!).
