10 Items or Less

10 ITEMS OR LESS (2006) - Sept. 11, 2006
Morgan Freeman, essentially playing a variation on himself, gives a phenomenal performance in this film about a past-his-prime actor who strikes up a friendship with a young supermarket clerk (played by Paz Vega, who actually manages to hold her own against Freeman). The film basically just consists of Freeman and Vega talking, but it's really entertaining throughout, mostly thanks to Freeman's charismatic performance and the quality of the dialogue. Good stuff. ***1/2
