Returning for a third bout of cyborg time travelling, Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his good-robot role from TERMINATOR 2, once again travelling back from the future to protect future human resistance leader John Connor (played this time around by Nick Stahl). We soon discover that Connor has become something of a drifter, his mother Sarah Connor has passed away, and he has taken to the road in order to preserve himself for his supposed destiny. When Connor breaks into a lab to score some painkillers, he unwittingly runs into his future belle Kate Brewster (Claire Danes), and a whole load of titanium-plated-trouble in the form of a hot female Terminator played by newcomer Kristanna Loken. Hell-bent on destroying Connor, Brewster, and anyone else that gets in her way, Loken's Terminator comes face to face with Schwarzenegger's Terminator leading to some epic battles between the two cyborgs, and a neat string of one-liners from Schwarzenegger.

Director Jonathan Mostow (U-571) clearly relishes upping the CGI ante for this explosive sequel, providing some no-holds-barred action sequences. Mostow also offers intriguing storylines continued from the previous tw...

It's not the pivotal act of violence but its aftermath that gives the movie its full impact. Field and his coscreenwriter Rob Festinger remorselessly trace the way grief, anger and a thwarted desire for justice can open up rancid cracks in a seemingly placid marriage and turn the most civilised of men to thoughts of murder. And, contrary to Hollywood convention, there's nothing cathartic or redemptive about revenge in this film: the conclusion is bleak. As Ruth, Sissy Spacek...
In the Bedroom beats expectations, 2005-03-27
The Fowler family live an idilic existence in a prosperous New England fishing town, Matt Fowler (Tom Wilkinson) as the local physician, Ruth (Sissy Spacek) teaching music at the local high school, and their only son Frank (Nick Stahl) a talented architect due to leave for College in the fall.
Soon, though, it becomes apparent that all is not well in the family as Frank's involvement with Natalie (Marissa Tomei), a beautiful divorcee and mother of two, threatens to split the family. The rows are brought to a head when Richard, Natalie's former husband, becomes violent, beating Frank and threatening Natalie.
Frank is drawn at a frightening pace into the world of domestic violence and- in the hesitation to deal with the problem- murdered by a jealous Richard.
This is where the film really comes into it's own as his numb parents are left to confront their grief and anger, constantly haunted by a triumphant Richard who is unjustly released on bail and seems sure to avoid a murder charge.
The charged emotional intensity of this film is ably supported by superb performances from all of the leading cast, and by a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack producing compelling viewing from the beginning to the unexpected end. Highly recommended.
