Since I work at a Blockbuster and have access to films before their release dates and since some here ask for my opinion on films, I felt I would just go ahead a make a weekly movie recommendation. I know this week's releases came out yesterday so I'm a day behind but oh well.

RELEASE DATE: 01/15/08

HE WAS A QUIET MAN

An office worker inadvertently becomes a hero after he saves a woman's life.

Probably the most impressive roles I've ever seen from both Christian Slater and Elisha Cuthbert. Slater is an office worker who is constantly bullied by management, keeps a gun in his briefcase and is on the verge of using it. However, another disgruntled coworker beats him to the punch, wiping out a handful of workers before Slater ends his reign of terror. Cuthbert is a survivor of the attacks and is a quadriplegic as a result. When she is released from the hospital she asks Slater for one favor, to finish what the coworker started.

A very powerful film that I would say is a cross between OFFICE SPACE and TAXI DRIVER without the humor. This is only director Frank A. Cappello's third film and I look forward to more from him after this performance. Unfortunately, this will be passed over by many at the video store but with it being a slow week (other releases include: GOOD LUCK CHUCK, MR. WOODCOCK, SUBURBAN GIRL, THE TEN, STRAYS, and SCENES OF A SEXUAL NATURE), you can't do much worse.
