    Underrated and often forgotten classic.

    Probably not a movie Trump would enjoy, since the terrorist is a white guy and not a Muslim.

    Still, a classic thriller and both Tim Robbins/Jeff Bridges put in awesome performances.

    Not to mention, one of the best endings of all time.

    It woulda only been a "good" movie with a lesser ending. The great ending made it an excellent movie.

    I like Arlington Road's ending more than The Usual Suspects ending, which I find pretty overrated. Anybody paying attention could see it coming that Spacey was Keyser Soze.

    Great ending fo sho. Funny enough I was always rooting for Tim Robbins' character. The so-called protagonist (Bridges) was a royal pain in the ass from the get go. I'm glad he got blown up and blamed for it.

    Robbins played a great villain, and his best line was also his shortest.... "Boom".
