Before this piece shifts into film review-article mode, this writer-reviewer has to state the following: I was not familiar with director Roel Rein\u00e9’s cinematic oeuvre when I signed on to write about Rein\u00e9’s CLASSIFIED. That’s changed, of course. Believe me.<\/em><\/p>\n

And once upon a time quite a while ago, I was elbow to elbow with his star, <\/em>Aaron Eckhart, in front of the World Trade Center. I was there shooting pictures \u2013 part hobby, part freelance (primarily ethnic and community news media) \u2013 and Eckhart was there with a SLR shooting away like I was. <\/em>I recognized him quickly and recall I didn’t stare, gaze, gape nor gawk \u2013 nor was there an urge to <\/em>ask him for an autograph. Selfies were unknown at that time.<\/em><\/p>\n

I did sneak a few shots of him and that was pretty much it. We were in a large crowd. I recall that something in the manner of a publicity event was taking place; I can’t recall the media published notification that lured me to the WTC. No one else at that time seemed to have recognized Eckhart.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Back then, I had, before WTC, saw Eckhart in BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES (2011), directed by Jonathan Liebesman. Or maybe it was THE CORE (2003), directed by John Amiel. Can’t recall at this time. At that time, whichever and however, I wasn’t writing film reviews … but I had seen BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES at least a dozen times on cable and THE CORE about the same number, also on cable. This date, I’ve seen most of his movies .<\/em><\/p>\n

Now that I got that off my chest, on with the review.<\/em><\/p>\n
