Throwback Movies on DVD

Every week or so I am going to try to post about a couple movies that either stayed under the radar at the box office, never quite made it to the big screen, or was just plain forgotten over time

Suspect Zero- FBI agent Thomas Mackelway (Aaron Eckhart) is brought into an investigation of a series of strange murders.  Signs slowly point to Benjamin O'Ryan (Ben Kinglsey) who was used in a secret government experiment in developing telepathic abilities.  O'Ryan, however, is on his own quest after the ultimate elusive serial killer seemingly devoid of any pattern.  During the chase Mackelway begins to wonder if O'Ryan's ability has turned him into the very monster he was supposedly made to stop.  Released in 2004. Rated R

This movie is a dark, mysterious thriller with a chilling performance by Ben Kingsley.  Suspect Zero is definitely worth a rental for those that enjoy noir detective movies.

Trespass is about two Arkansas fire fighters, Vince and Don, who find a map that leads to a stolen cache of gold.  While in an abandoned building in East St. Louis (yes, East St. Louis) in search of the treasure, Vince (Bill Paxton) witnesses a gangland execution.  King James (Ice-T) decides he can't have any witnesses and orders his gang to kill the two firemen.  Meanwhile, Don (William Sadler) refuses to walk away without the gold.  This starts a deadly game of cat and mouse between the two sides in which no one may walk away. Released in 1992.  Rated R.

This movie should provide with plenty of mindless entertainment.  Trespass is an old-school action movie filled with gagster rappers.  (think Die Hard meets Judgement Night)
