Cheesy terrorist thriller hasn't aged well, but Jeff Bridges is still great as the professor suspecting that his namby-pamby neighbor Tim Robbins is a terrorist. Robbins threatens to sidetrack the whole thing again.

Not as gripping or as engaging as it should have been. Hard to recommend unless you don't have something better to do that day.

Nonsensical at best, Road takes two of our better actors and pits them against each other for no apparent reason. More like a Lifetime movie with a higher production value, and just as forgettable.

A film that has a good suspense, is a bit repetitive in its development, but it ends well, clever and unpredictable.

Hey, I bet you didn't see that improbable coincidence coming, or that one, or that one, or that one. Hey, look at me, I can subvert Hollywood conventions by having the good guy lose!

Superb psychological thriller that's about as unsettling as you can make it: domestic terrorism, kids with rifles, dead wives and Joan Cusack as your neighbor. The only thing missing is Lindsay Buckingham belting out a chorus of "Arlington Roooooooooooad".

Starts slowly but ultimately draws you into its web. Possibly the last good pre-9/11 film about terrorism, this movie just could not be made in today's times. I think its overall impact has lessened over time, but at the time I found it to be both brilliant and terrifying.

I thought it was a pretty good thriller with a great cast, but the title song by Gin Blossoms sucked.

Arlington Road is a movie that aims to surprise its viewers. And it does that to a tee.
