    • Trivia
      In early drafts of the film script, the Oklahoma City bombing was literally referenced. By the time of the shooting script the location of the bombing referenced was changed to St. Louis.
    • Goofs
      The amount of C4 in the car trunk is not even close to enough to destroy the building. Also, more than one explosion is shown, including one a few stories up, impossible from a single car bomb in an underground parking area.

    The "how to" on making a good thriller.
    "Arlington Road" is the perfect example for how thrillers should be made.

    A good story, a good atmosphere, good actors and voila! you have got a good thriller. "Arlington Road" has got it all and it's a near perfect movie that is a must see for the thriller fans.

    The intense beginning sets the mood for the rest of the movie. It's atmospheric and tense right till the good ending. I'll admit that there are some slow moments and some distracting plot lines but it doesn't take away the tension or ruins the atmosphere in any kind of way.

    The movie is very well casted with Jeff Bridges as the more and more paranoid getting Michael Faraday and Tim Robbins as his neighbour that he begins to suspects of being a terrorist. Both main actors pull of really well and help to created the good thriller atmosphere that this movie has.

    Good thriller with a great atmosphere, story, actors and ending that will stay with you forever.

    9/10
