Keanu Reeves stars in this dark-tinged romantic comedy. Henry
(Reeves) is an unambitious man who sleepwalks his way through life
and his dull job at a highway toll booth. His life changes abruptly
when he stumbles into the midst of an armed robbery crime scene, is
mistaken by police for one of the robbers and is thrown into jail.
There he shares a cell with career criminal Max (James Caan), who
becomes a mentor of sorts, prompting an epiphany in Henry. On his
release, Henry joins forces with Max to commit the crime for which
he figures he has already done the time, and becomes romantically
entangled with local TV presenter Julie (Vera Farmiga), who
literally runs into him at the crime scene.

Tony Scott-directed action thriller starring Denzel Washington as
John Creasy, a jaded former CIA agent hired by a wealthy Mexican
family to act as bodyguard to their ten-year-old daughter Lupita
(Dakota Fanning). Initially reluctant to take on such a lowly

asks him questions about his life and he begins to open up to her
and discover a tenderness long missing from his own life. But his
newfound equilibrium is shattered when the girl is kidnapped, and
he vows to find the men responsible and bring them to his own form

Hamerton a traitor? Is this bluff, typically English gentleman

revolution in Britain? Drusilla, given the task of uncovering the
truth, risks her life to save the King and discovers the man she
loves is hiding the biggest secret of all.
