Arlington Road belongs to that splendid Hollywood tradition of dealing with serious, timely issues in the form of a suspense thriller.
Despite its flaws, Arlington Road romps home as an absorbing, unpredictable thriller.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]
Report
Although it takes something of a slog to get there, this thriller finally comes through where it counts.
Before it finally twists itself into a pretzel in the third act, this paranoid thriller creates a scary mood and allows its leading actors to go all the way with it.
Even before the film has worked up a head of steam, it has started to pile up the improbabilities, giving us reason to question its credibility.
A conspiracy thriller that begins well and makes good points, but it flies off the rails in the last 30 minutes.
This masterpiece started out at around three stars, but after the credits, it just got sillier and more lurid.
