I am not against any genre, but I have trouble getting invested in most action movies, just the act alone of doing cool moves and shooting guys dead isn't going to make me like a movie. Heist had the right actors and they did a good job of making me care about the characters beyond the action. Dave Bautista is one of the more impressive looking badass dudes and played his part very well, De Niro was more of a role player in this but he has the cache to give his character more dimension that it had any right to have. It is a fun Flick and I think there is a good chance you will get invested in the story.

The story of Terry Sawchuk portrayed in the film Goalie is the journey of many Hockey players from that era. I recently read the autobiography of Gordie Howe and many of his accounts match up with events and themes from this movie, Howe was Sawchuk's teammate and the portrayal of Jack Adams played by Kevin Pollak is right on the money with history. One thing I noticed even though the film featured historical figures the NHL did not participate in this whatsoever the team's classic uniform's were not worn and I surmise it is because this is a dark harsh story that didn't paint the league in a great light. I think if you are a Hockey fan this film is a no brainer it is important to understand the history of the Sport and the men that carried the game forward like Mr. Sawchuk. To say these guys were a different breed is an understatement I have nothing but respect for the players that made the game what it is.

The Roommate is a undercooked version of Single White Female. The characters could have been developed so much better, I feel the acting was fine with a few glaring exceptions. This story copies way too much of Single White Female and does not have near the impact that film does.
