Reviews Featuring Morgan Freeman

Dreamcatcher

Awful – but hilariously so.

High Crimes

This is a decent thriller with convincing performances. You don’t necessarily believe the story, but the film is engrossing enough to be worth suspending your disbelief for a couple of hours and taking it at face value.

The Sum of all Fears

This is a decent action film that provides good solid entertainment plus a great big bomb explosion, but it doesn’t have the depth of either its predecessors or the Clancy novels.

The Shawshank Redemption

This is a simple and touching tale graced with great depth and commitment. An uplifting must-see movie.

Bruce Almighty

Typical Carrey comedy – it's got a few funny moments, but more often than not it's just plain annoying.

The Bonfire Of The Vanities

A fairly entertaining slice of satire, this really isn’t as bad as it’s often made out to be.

Se7en

‘Se7en’ might be a really stupid way to write the title, but when a film’s this good nobody seems to care. Great and gruesome at the same time.

The Big Bounce

Fun in the sun. Just a pity it’s for the actors, and not for us.

Batman Begins

In his best, and darkest, outing to date, the masked avenger's personal 'issues' reflect those of the world in the wake of 9/11.

Million Dollar Baby

Possibly the most accomplished film of Clint Eastwood’s career. Clyde who?

Unleashed

The Dark Knight

This sequel to Batman Begins is better than its predecessor, and Ledger’s Joker will go down as one of the best screen villains of all time.

Wanted

Better than I expected, and better than it seems at first, give Wanted a chance and you’ll find a great looking, somewhat entertaining action film with possibilities.

Invictus

Much better than it should be, Invictus is carried by a truly inspiring true story.

Glory

This American Civil War epic has the feeling of a made-for-TV movie but is carried by a truly inspiring story and some excellent performances.

Red

Red does all the things an action movie should do, and it proves you don't need hot young stars to blow things up.
