Rank order:

Heist (2001)


I realize I've only seen this one film of his, but after hearing such great things about him, it was a very disappointing, pedestrian film with dialogue every bit as trite as anything in the Star Wars universe IMO.

Spanish Prisoner and State and Main I enjoyed at least. Winslow Boy made me respect the play. Nothing spectacular though.
