3/4
Atanarjuat the Fast Runner (2001) Amy Bracken Sparks The ever-changing light and stark sea of ice become characters in themselves. Indeed, the making of Fast Runner is fascinating in itself. Outtakes of the production run with the end credits; they're worth sticking around for.

3/4
Chopper (2000) Amy Bracken Sparks The film ends on a surprisingly poignant note, making this film a car wreck worth ogling all the way through. If you like your prison dramas bloody and black with humor, this is for you.

Training Day (2001) Amy Bracken Sparks The sly casting of the charismatic Washington, who comes with built-in righteousness cred, helps this rise above some ill-considered third-act twists and anticlimaxes.

Chicago 10 (2007) Pamela Zoslov Even with its questionable style choices, Chicago 10 is a passionate, fully engaging retrospective of the times: the rage, the absurdist comedy, the radicals' courage and their iconic personalities.

Piñero (2001) Amy Bracken Sparks Benjamin Bratt, the pretty boy once seen on the arm of America's sweetheart Julia Roberts, plays Piero with a passion. It's a star-making performance.
