Everything about this movie, from the premise, cast and even the poster screamed 'smart, riveting thriller.' The nice thing is, it lives up to my expectation, and then some.

Flixchatter Review: The Soloist
I almost didn't watch this one as the Blockbuster nearby didn't have a copy. We've been circling around the New Releases section twice and on to the older flicks aisles, and still couldn't agree on something none of us had seen or wanted to watch. So my hubby and a couple of buddies of mine …
