The
Yards (2000)
Drama
Director James Gray's
second film is a dark and atmospheric exploration of the
corruption that lies underneath both the surface of a New York
City railway manufacturing company and the family that runs it.
Mark Wahlberg turns in an impressive and quietly intense
performance as Leo, a 24-year-old who has just been released from
prison and is in need of a job. Leo gets a job working for his
uncle Frank (James Caan) in the railway business, where his best
friend, Willie (Joaquin Phoenix), shows him how to bribe
politicians by day and sabotage the competition's work by night.
Almost immediately Leo and Willie run into trouble when they go
down to the railway yards to damage their competitor's work. Leo
is soon on the run, hunted for a murder that Willie committed.
Gray's THE YARDS shows the obvious influence of Francis Ford
Coppola's seminal GODFATHER films as he emphasizes that his
characters inhabit two worlds, one that follows the shifting
morality of their businesses, the other centering around
traditional family life. Aided immeasurably by its outstanding
cast, stylish visual sense, and a lush, dissonant score, THE YARDS
is a gripping and intensely moving film that fully lives up to its
own ambitions.

Advocate (1997)
Drama
2 hrs. 10 min. Promising
young lawyer Kevin Lomax (Keanu Reeves) has never lost a
case--even when his client is guilty. When Kevin is seduced away
from his sleepy hometown in Florida to work for a flashy, charming
lawyer (Al Pacino, in a role he seems born to play), his mother
(Judith Ivey) has reservations. But as he works his way up the
corporate ladder, Kevin manages to put them aside, along with his
wife's (Charlize Theron) needs and the stirrings of his conscience
over knowingly defending the guilty. However, his vanity won't let
him start losing now. As Kevin's career skyrockets, his neglected
wife Mary Ann begins to see evil, violent visions. Hoping a visit
from his mother will help, instead Kevin finds himself confronted
with a secret his mother has never told him. As Mary Ann seemingly
descends into madness, Kevin begins to suspect his boss may be
much more than he seems, and he finds himself faced with a choice
between saving his own life and saving his soul.
Thought-provoking, inventive, and entertaining, director Taylor
Hackford's film is reminiscent of psychological horror films like
ROSEMARY'S BABY. Andrzej Bartkowiak's lush, innovative
cinematography complements the smart script and dead-on acting.
