If you're related to any victims of the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995, a movie like this probably wont be appropriate for you. But then again, it's only a movie. Jeff Bridges is absolutely remarkable in this thriller, better than I've... Full review

The ending was HORRIBLE. How dare you, Pellington? Why did you have to kill the guy off? Who in their right mind would do that? I loved the MOthman Prophecies though. Anyone, watch that instead!... Full review

While the plot was exciting and full of suprizes, there is a significant sense of confusion developed about what the terrorists represent vs-a vis reality. They are anti government; but do they pose the kind of right wing threat that is... Full review

The synopsis really does little justice to Arlington Road , as part of what makes the film so enjoyable is how it slowly ropes you in. If there's any major drawback to Arlington Road , it's that at a certain point the film becomes a little too clever for its own good. ... Full Review
