Blow Out (2012, B+) De Palma turns 2 decades of US paranoia & politics into a satisfyingly sleazy thriller that is also an ode to his craft.

The Bourne Legacy (2012, B) relies on intelligent writing more than on brainless action, but recycles the mythology instead of adding to it.

Premium Rush (2012, C): Koepp's directing uses Google-generation visuals, but his writing smacks of eighties-style family oriented action.

The Ambassador (2012, C-) has no clothes. This purposely unfocused doc demonstrates the corruption in Africa & the ineptitude of its makers.
