Eastern Promises
A British woman (Naomi Watts) is torn from her quiet life in London and thrust into the dark world of the Russian mob. Eastern Promises is a complex action thriller set within the framework of a classic mobster movie.

The Heartbreak Kid
Another adolescent comedy from the Farrelly brothers (Shallow Hal, There’s Something About Mary). A middle-aged nobody (Ben Stiller) thinks his best days are behind him when he meets the girl of his dreams. After the wedding, reality rears its ugly head.

The Kingdom
When terrorists bomb an American compound in Saudi Arabia, an elite team of FBI agents is dispatched to nab the mastermind before he strikes again. A smart action movie that plunges into the controversy of Middle East politics and manages to escape most of the Islamophobic clichés of Jack Bauer’s America.

Shattered
The perfect world of two loving parents and their daughter is “shattered” when the girl is kidnapped by a ruthless psychopath (Pierce Brosnan). The lives of the parents are turned upside down as they are forced to comply with the abductor’s every whim. Vancouverites will have fun spotting landmarks, as their city stands in for Chicago in this film.
