Jun 22, 2016Jeff Bridges is a college professor who begins to suspect that his neighbor might be a terrorist. This movie's plot twists right down to the very end of the film were amazing. They kept you guessing and wondering what was going to happen. Jeff Bridges turns in a remarkably paranoid performance in this one. For some reason it seems like a lot of people haven't seen this movie but it is definitely not to be missed.Patrick W Super Reviewer

Apr 20, 2016Pretty interesting. The way this movie plays out is pretty cool, culminating in one of the best "gotcha" moments I've ever seen in a movie.Stephen S Super Reviewer

Nov 08, 2013Arlington Road is a daring and controversial political thriller that explores some provocative issues. When a college professor who teaches a course on domestic terrorism starts to suspect that his new neighbors may be part of a terrorist cell, the lives of his friends and family become endangered. Starring Jeff Bridges, Tim Robbins, and Hope Davis, the performances are especially strong. The writing is also quite impressive, and does a good job at developing the both the characters and the story arc. Additionally, the film asks some interesting questions about how the government combats terrorist. While the film does have some weak points, Arlington Road delivers a smart and compelling thriller.Dann M Super Reviewer

Jul 04, 2011This is how you create a genuine thriller that keeps you hooked until the bitter end. Mark pellington is a talent that should of been handed some further films as he's eye for tension keeps you in a place you can't get out of. The writing is top notch creating characters for everyone involved. Jeff bridges has always been a good actor but I really took notice of him after this film came out. Tim Robbins really owns the film with a character so out of left field. The film knocked me about when I first watched it and have since converted many people with its ending. If you like a film with a twisting narrative then this for you.Brendan N Super Reviewer
