Direction: Niels Mueller
Screenplay: Niels Mueller and Kevin Kennedy
Cast: Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, Don Cheadle, Jack Thompson, Michael Wincott, Brad William Henke
&#160;

&#160;

Although technically a psychosocial drama about those for whom the American Dream is nothing more than a pathological delusion, Niels Mueller&#8217;s The Assassination of Richard Nixon actually works as a suspenseful horror movie. From the very start, we know that something dreadful is about to happen. As the fact-based story inexorably progresses toward its bloody climax, the suspense keeps increasing until the violence, depicted in brutal detail, explodes on screen. That&#8217;s the stuff that nightmares are made of.
As depicted by Emmanuel Lubezki&#8217;s appropriately gritty, washed-out cinematography, it all begins in the winter of 1974, as [...]]]></description>

21 Grams (2003)
Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu
Screenplay: Guillermo Arriaga
Cast: Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, Benicio del Toro, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Melissa Leo, Danny Huston, Eddie Marsan, John Rubinstein

(By the way, the film&#8217;s title refers to the alleged weight of a person&#8217;s soul. That figure came [...]]]></description>
