|
|
‘Wild Card’ is a disjointed narrative about a man who is many things, but would be more captivating if he would choose just one.
|
|

|
|
Not only will "American Sniper" win for the third week in a row, it is now the highest-grossing war movie of all-time, domestically. It has passed "Saving Private Ryan."
