Arlington Road

A professor and an expert on American Terrorism, Michael Faraday (Jeff Bridges) lost his wife, an FBI agent when she died in the line of duty. He has a nine-year-old son Grant (Spencer Treat Clark) and a girlfriend, his former student Brooke Wolfe (Hope Davis). Michael starts to become suspicious of his new neighbours Oliver (Tim Robbins) and Cheryl Lang (Joan Cusack), after taking their son, Brady (Mason Gamble), to the emergency room following a reported fireworks accident.

He confides his suspicions with Brooke and his wife's former partner Whit Carver (Robert Gossett), but none of them believe him. Grant and Brady become good friends and Oliver gets really close to Grant. Michael does his own investigation, finds out some buried past about Oliver like he tried to blew a postal office at the age of 16 with a pipe bomb he built and he stole someone's identity on his death to conceal his past. Even Oliver gets to know about Michael's sniffing around and confronts him.

Is Michael being paranoid or are his neighbours involved in anti -social activities? Is his family safe while his neighbours are around or is he wrong in intruding someone's privacy? Does 'fear thy neighbour' stands true ?

Well-written storyline and screenplay captivate the audience in this thriller. All actors do justice to their roles. The best part about the movie, according to me, is its climax. Any Bollywood-lover would not be able to guess the ending of this movie. It's unconventional and disturbs the trend of 'heroes always winning'. I don't want to write more on it or it would be deemed as a spoiler. A must-watch for mystery and thriller lovers and those looking for an unorthodox climax.
