Die Bourne Verschwörung (2004) 

Englisch Paul Greengrass delivers a spy thriller full of modern technology, fast cuts, and perfect handheld camera work. The plot is also very fast-paced, dynamic, and above all completely unpredictable. Matt Damon is a great action hero mainly because he doesn't look like a super secret agent at first glance, so you can relate to him much better.

Wimbledon - Spiel, Satz und... Liebe (2004) 

Englisch At first glance, Wimbledon looks like another of the many above-average romantic comedies that we have seen plenty of, but unlike most similar films, it has original and unobtrusive humor. Additionally, it takes place in a new and unexplored setting of tennis, which is another big plus. What can be considered a “classic” was the soundtrack, composed of a mix of classic romantic pop songs mainly performed by female interpreters – nothing against it, because overall the film works quite well and that is the main thing.

The Aviator (2004) 

Englisch The Aviator is not Martin Scorsese’s best film and, in my opinion, it doesn't even belong among the best ones. It is beautifully shot, but that's about it. There are plenty of unforgettable scenes, shots, and dialogues, but the end result doesn't have such a strong impact, and there is no deeper emotional experience. Surprisingly, technically, the movie is quite uneven, and sometimes it seems like a farce or an overly theatrical costume drama. Sometimes, I even feel a sense of theater. It's an interesting retro film, but definitely not aiming for an Oscar.

Million Dollar Baby (2004) 

Englisch A film that impressed me. First and foremost, it's not just a film about boxing, but about a person. As for Hilary Swank, she delivers the best performance I have seen in a very long time, and quite possibly the best female performance ever. Clint Eastwood directs again with his classic style. The film is accompanied by minimal music and takes place in suggestively raw environments, whether it be gloomy corners of hospital rooms or a dark gym. All of this creates an indescribable and unique atmosphere, even though it has a practically ordinary and sometimes predictable screenplay. For me, unequivocally the best film of the year.

Jersey Girl (2004) 

Englisch The script doesn’t offer anything new or groundbreaking, but the skillfully built atmosphere and great dialogues save everything. There are also a few scenes that can bring even the most self-doubting person to their knees while watching this cheerful and witty comedy.

Ray (2004) 

Englisch I would call it craftsmanship. Some scenes were unnecessary, the flashbacks of youth were touching and engaging, but not extremely important. However, it is incredible how riveting an ordinary recording session in a studio is in Hackford's delivery, for example. If the best scenes in a film about a great musician are the ones where music takes center stage, at least in this aspect, everything is fine.

Hautnah (2004) 

Englisch Closer is an extraordinary social-conversation drama, describing human relationships in all their authenticity.

Universal Soldier (1992) 

Englisch Universal Soldier is exactly the over-engineered, unstylish, and content- shallow type of film that was churned out in droves in the 1990s. Jean-Claude Van Damme, however, suits this role quite well, and Dolph Lundgren, who will forever remain in my memory only as Ivan Drago, also did not disappoint. The action is somewhat decent within the realm of possibilities.
