Good Sequel. Solid action film.
28 September 2021
Angel Has Fallen (2019) Review.

After the events in the previous movies , secret service agent Mike Banning is framed for the attempted assassination of the US president Alan Turnbull , using all his strength , and skill. Mike Banning must locate the real threat that lurking and uncovering the deep political connections and ties to the whitehouse.

Well directed, good editing and casting.

Gerard butler is great in the lead role once again and so is he's co-star Morgan freeman who never disappoints in any roles given to him. From the get go, the story keeps you watching throughout. The action is violent and realistic with great stunt work. Plenty of gun play action and hand to hand combat. Especially the explosions. Nick nolte plays the role of the father who left his family, only to be found by his son and keeping a low profile while being hunted. Piper perabo plays his wife being under stress and does a good job in the role. The rest of the casting do a good in there roles to. Simple and easy story to follow that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Overall a great action film. 8/10.

Would highly recommend this.

Seeking a place he could call home.
30 June 2021
Well directed, good editing, good casting and acting. If you enjoyed the previous outings then this is for you. Ignore the critics, don't take it seriously. The action is violent and gory, very graphic. Simple plot to follow, keeping you instrested throughout. Good CGI and explosions.

I like the fact stallone is narrating, which gives more feel to the character after decades.

Overall a good action sequel. Enjoy.

Stallone fans only.

Highlander 2 the quickening director's cut.
14 July 2019
Well directed, good editing and decent acting all round. Good chemistry between the actors. Better CGI than the previous outing. Easy story to follow. Decent action to keep you interested. Christopher lambert always does well in the lead role, Michael ironside does well as the villain and brings character to his role.

This sequel was good but a bit confusing and could have been better.

Overall a good solid effort. Enjoy.

1997. New York City is now a maximum security prison. Breaking out is impossible. Breaking in is insane.
27 December 2018
In 1997, when the US President (Donald Pleasence) crashes into Manhattan, now a giant maximum security prison, a convicted bank robber (Kurt Russel) is sent in for a rescue.

Well directed by John Carpenter, cool cencept, decent acting, Russell is able to say a lot with little dialogue, through his body language and facial expressions and a good supporting cast, some action scenes, decent CGI for an 80's film back then, decent costumes for a budget of 6 million dollars, with the budget being low carpenter manages to make it look good for its time and the music is good and suits the theme for the film.

Overall a good sci-fi/action film.

Poor acting,Poorly written and Pathetic.
8 December 2018
Terrible tv show. Dont bother it will annoy you.

This Tv show is a pile of S**t, who watches this and thinks it's funny? don't understand the how this show got so popular, cheap and poorly written, poor acting skills all round, the films are just as bad.Not for kids; dirty and bad mouthed programme and its not even funny. I tried to watch an episode and did not laugh once i felt embaressed watching it.

Overall i would not waste your time watching it.

There are plenty of better tv series than The inbetweeners.

Breaking Bad (2008–2013)
9/10
All bad things must come to an end. Remember My Name.
20 November 2018
Walter H. White is a chemistry genius, but works as a chemistry teacher in an Albequerque, New Mexico high school. His life drastically changes when he's diagnosed with stage III terminal lung cancer, and given a short amount of time left to live: a mere matter of months. To ensure his handicapped son and his pregnant wife have a financial future, Walt uses his chemistry background to create and sell the world's finest crystal methamphetamine. To sell his signature "blue meth," he teams up with Jesse Pinkman, a former student of his. The meth makes them very rich very quickly, but it attracts the attention of his DEA brother in law Hank. As Walt and Jesse's status in the drug world escalates, Walt becomes a dangerous criminal and Jesse becomes a hot-headed salesman. Hank is always hot on his tail, and it forces Walt to come up with new ways to cover his tracks.

Well directed throughtout the series, great cast, great acting all round. Superb drama, very addictive tv show. Each episode always leaves you wanting to watch another. I haven't been hooked to a TV show like Breaking Bad in ages.The creator, writers, directors and actors have paid attention to every single detail.

Get on your sofa now and start watching "Breaking Bad" from the very beginning, and don't miss a single scene.

Highly recommend this. Great tv show.

Derailed (2002)
6/10
Not his best movie, but a solid effort!
25 August 2018
I'm a big Jean Claude van damme fan and i enjoyed this a solid effort.

Nicely directed, editing is fine, action as well. Simple story to follow, but this type has been done so many times before. Decent casting and supporting cast is fine.

The only thing was special effects weren't great they were alright but could have been better to be honest.

Overall a reasonable action film.

Low budget action.
17 July 2018
Nicely directed,no shaky cam,well edited. Simple story to follow, nothing new, decent action cheography, Gary daniels has still got it and does well in the lead aswell as the action scenes. Supporting actors all do fine, just lacking budget which is a shame could have been better.

Overall a decent action film and for die hard gary daniels fans.

Peace Hotel (1995)
6/10
Good but not one of his best movies.
25 February 2018
Chow-Yun Fat stars in this Hong Kong spaghetti western as 'The Killer', an unstoppable bounty hunter and mercenary who has decided to retire after his wife's death. Setting up the 'Peace Hotel', the Killer offers sanctuary to anyone who is on the run from someone who wants them dead. But his altruism is tested to the limit when a young female swindler (played by Cecilia Yip) arrives, on the run from a gang that wants her dead. Soon the Killer is forced into an unpleasant choice - to send her on her way, or violate his own rules and risk an all-out war with the gang.

Well directed, good casting and decent acting. I like the narration at the start telling the story of him you get to know a bit about his character and why he did the thunga he did.

The action is decent but ruined by poor editing. Good film as i said but could have been much better.

Overall a decent Western action film.

Good 1st episode to the series. Why all the hate and poor reviews?
19 February 2018
The acting is good, its well directed and edited. The 1st episode was good and entertaining and kept me watching and moved at a good pace. Costumes, sets and props are good and nice scenery to look at. Looking foward to the next episode. Some reviews on here are exaggerating a bit what are you expecting? sorry don't take everything so seriously its just a show to keep you entertained.

It deserves more than 2.3 more 6.6 at least

The rules have been reset.
22 January 2017
When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline. Now, Sgt. Reese finds himself in a new and unfamiliar version of the past, where he is faced with unlikely allies, including the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), dangerous new enemies, and an unexpected new mission: To reset the future...

Well directed. The effects fantastic. Casting fantastic. Emilia Clarke, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke and J.K. Simmons are all fantastic in their roles. The action was good and so was the pace, the film never became boring even with how complex the story was so it certainly gets points for that. The fight scenes between the terminators are much more real. The story takes places primarily in three different times, but its not too hard to follow if you pay attention.

Bottom line: If you liked the first two movies, you will enjoy this one.

Watch for a scene at the end of the credits

Brothers (I) (2009)
7/10
This film is powerful, gripping, sad and touching.
12 December 2015
Before leaving on his second tour in Afghanistan, Marine Captain Sam Cahill, a leader, an athlete, a good husband and father, welcomes his screw-up brother Tommy home from prison. He'd robbed a bank. In country, Sam's helicopter is shot down and all are presumed dead. Back home, while Sam wastes away as a prisoner in a remote encampment, Tommy tries to take care of the widow and her two children. While imprisoned, Sam experiences horrors unbearable, so when he's rescued and returns home, he's silent, detached, without affect, and he's convinced his wife and brother have slept together. Demons of war possess him; what will silence them?

The trio Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Macguire and Natalie Portman have great chemistry together and good performances to all 3 actors, the supporting cast is good as well, This film is powerful, gripping,sad and touching. The film moves at a slow pace but keeps you watching throughout, the film is about what happens to soldiers when they go to war and to see them comeback damaged so badly that they are trying to battle there own demons and try to get back to a normal life.

Overall a powerful and gripping film, a must see! Enjoy

Their World Is Closer Than You Think.
10 December 2015
Once upon a time, upon moving into the run-down Spiderwick Estate with their mother, twin brothers Jared and Simon Grace, along with their sister Mallory, find themselves pulled into an alternate world full of faeries and other creatures. Unable to explain the strange disappearances and accidents that seem to be happening on a daily basis, the family blames it all on Jared. When he, Simon and Mallory investigate what's really going on, they uncover the fantastic truth of the Spiderwick estate and of the creatures that inhabit it.

Well directed with an interesting story that keeps you watching. Good acting all round, the CGI effects were well implemented too, with various characters and creatures popping up here and there to provide comedic relief and action pivotal plot development. The film was well paced and doesn't feel its been rushed. The other excellent transformations are when Mulgarath shape shifts at different points in the movie. The fight scene between the sister and the unseen goblins is pretty cool.

Overall a good solid fantasy/adventure/action film for all. Would recommend this to anyone who likes fantasy films. Enjoy!

The fight to save the world is on!
26 September 2015
Nicely directed by Steven E. De Souza. As for the cast i thought they got some characters right apart from a couple. I thought Van Damme did alright as Guile and Raul Julia puts in a good final performance R.I.P. There are too many characters and are not are given enough screen time to show what they can do .It has a simple storyline to follow, decent action scenes, the film never has a problem with pacing, rolling along fittingly enough to keep you interested. Some decent acting by other actors. The props are bright and the colourful costumes and also a change in filming locations other than America which makes a change.

In conclusion watch it if your a van damme fan (i'm a fan)and street fighter fan as your favourite characters come to life but don't take it seriously otherwise you won't enjoy.

Overall a decent action flick.

Classic film.
25 March 2015
Clarice Starling, a young intelligent FBI trainee, has been sent to the Baltimore state hospital for the criminally insane to interview an inmate Dr. Hannibal-the cannibal- Lecter. A brilliant renowned psychiatrist turned infamous psychopathic serial killer. She must match wits with Lecter -who has the darkest of all minds- and trust him to give her clues in the search for "Buffalo Bill". A nick name for a loose, unknown, unstoppable psychopathic serial killer...

This is one of my favourite films, everything about it is just brilliant, its exciting, creepy and suspenseful. The film is dark, gritty and dirty and difficult to watch at times. Director Jonathan Demme is masterful through skillful timing of the direction, it is well acted throughout. Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins deliver great strong performances that keep you watching till the very end.

In conclusion this film is an absolute classic and shouldn't be missed.
