Trying to watch some one I have not seen and I've seen a lot but looking for movies along the lines of shooter, man on fire, boondock saints, transporter, fracture. that sort of thing.
thanks.

Smokin' Aces is fucking terrible..

I feel like staying in tonight and watching a movie and this is my favorite genre...

As far as ones I've seen... Heat is a great crime thriller. Ummm.... Yeah, Seven is great and it's on one of the inDemand channels... Departed grows on me everytime I see it, though I'm not high on the ending.

Some others are the original Manchurian Candidate (not the shitty ass remake), Usual Suspects... and of my course my favorite ensemble movie, LA Confidential...

The problem with Smokin' Aces is that they abandoned the action for a plot that was way too heavy. Try The French Connection or if you want to stay recent Death Proof had a lot of senseless talking but the car chase scenes were some of the best I've seen and if you're the least bit familiar with grindhouse cinema you'll recognize that Tarantino does a pretty good job of capturing the feeling.

H8R is right on, 300! far exceeded my expectations and kicks ass and Casino Royale was wicked, it was one of the better James Bond films (if not the best).

The Ninth Configuration

It's not really a thriller with action but more like a thriller with mystery.

Hahah, oh man, I totally forgot about that movie. Was the "thing to watch" in highschool. The 2nd one just sucked.

Check out "Dead Calm". It's old (89) but it's good.

The Long Kiss Good Night

HEAT - Epic crime drama with the best gun fight you've ever seen.

lock, stock, and two smoking barrels. the way of the gun. blood, guts, bullets and octane (if you liked Smokin' Aces). Chopper. equilibrium. knockaround guys. layer cake. memento. michael clayton. no country for old men. sin city (come on guys). battle royale 2 (if you don't mind something incredibly fuckin ridiculous). road to perdition. The bank job. stop loss. vantage point (sure, it wasn't too good, but it's matthew fox).

It's a thriller. op asked for suggestions, including thrillers. Sure it might not be a good movie, but maybe GoldenGirl has a thing for george clooney in shit movies.

I don't think it's a bad movie, it's just too slow to be a thriller imo. Honestly, I really wasn't sure what to make of it. It was more dangerous than a drama movie yet too boring to be a thriller.
