ARLINGTON ROAD Directed by Mark Pellington Starring Jeff Bridges, Tim Robbins, Joan Cusack...
...Premise As the summer's first major thriller, Arlington Road pits Jeff Bridges as Michael, a college professor who specializes in domestic terrorism--an interest spawned by the fact that his FBI agent wife was killed by extremists. When a new family, the Langs (Tim Robbins and Joan Cusack) move in next door and start acting suspiciously, Michael comes to suspect that his all-American neighbors may actually be terrorists. Is it simply paranoia or something much more frightening...
...Buzz An intriguing plot and inspired casting in Cusack and the versatile Robbins. But with the unaffecting Bridges in the lead role (whose similarly themed Blown Away was a dud) and an opening date just five days before Star Wars, Arlington Road could be in for a rocky trip...
...John Cusack (Con Air, Grosse Pointe Blank) is Nick Falzone, an air traffic control freak who "pushes tin" at New York's Terminal Radar Approach Control center (TRACON). He directs planes coming into NYC airports, sings oldies when he's not rattling off instructions to airplane pilots and slurps coffee while directing planes to safe landings...
...definite contrast from the character Cusack played in the Academy...
