Title: WarGames meets The Man Who Knew Too Much
Review: I think this movie was the most underrated of the year. This movie interestingly blends elements from John Badham's WarGames and Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much with today's technological,political,and social realities. Could it have been better?Yes. Director D.J. Caruso may have sacrificed some of the movies dramatic potential to thriller and action formulas. But I still think the end result was very good. I found the scenes between Jerry and Rachel on the bus and in the freighter to be particularly charming. I just wish the makers had focused a little bit more on the human interactions and a little less on the chases and explosions. Even so, this is the only fault I can find with the movie. I still think it's an underrated gem.
