Righteous Kill: A thriller, in which the film constantly tries to mislead you into thinking the wrong way, which frustrates me. I didn’t think the story was all that good either. It’s not really worth watching, even though the acting is good, just the story is a bit pants. I give it 3/10
thriller
Film: In the Line of Fire (1993)
In the Line of Fire: A film about someone who is trying to kill the president of the USA. I give it 5/10
Film: Moon (2009)
Moon: What an odd find! Very good sci-fi, with a minimal number of actors – only one actually on screen at a time. Not sure what can be said about this film without giving it away. I think there were a few flaws in this film too. GERTY was a good HAL type equivalent. I […]
Film: District 9 (2009)
District 9: I did not realise that a large part of this film was done in a documentary style – a style of filming that I’m not really very much of a fan. However, this film, even though it started quite slow, did manage to keep me interested in what was going to happen next. […]
Film: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Everyone knows that this story is all about the action, not the story. However, the story wasn’t as bad as I imagined it might be. The action, like another Michael Bay film I saw recently, was fun, but, difficult to follow, with too much stuff happening at once, and I […]
Film: Tears of the Sun (2003)
Tears of the Sun: A film about troubles in Nigeria, and the US military trying to take some US citizens out of troubled areas. It concentrates on the rescue of one doctor, who will not let her patients be left to suffer against the rebels who would massacre them. It’s got some really brutal imagery […]
The Island (2005)
The Island: An action packed film – I had no idea what it was about, which helped. The film starts with a setting in a kind of utopian safe place. Everything seems very controlled, including emotions, and diet. It’s not clear to me what is going on, until almost halfway into the film. So I […]
Film: The Eagle Has Landed (1976)
The Eagle Has Landed: A film about German Paratroopers who were tasked with kidnapping Churchill, in an attempt for Germany to have a negotiated peace, not necessarily to win the war. A good thriller, keeps you wondering what’s going to happen next, and where the story will go. I never quite figured out the point […]
Behind Enemy Lines (2001)
Behind Enemy Lines: A fairly standard action fare. Owen Wilson plays a pilot who is shot down over enemy territory, and has to escape to a safe zone. It gets a bit too American, especially near the end – sickeningly so. But, parts of the film are quite good. The action is quite good too, […]
Film: Flightplan (2005)
Flightplan: I am biased – I tend to like films with Jodie Foster in, so even if this film was completely and utterly pants, I’d probably think it was good, purely because she was in it. However, after watching this film about two weeks ago, I’m still in two minds. The story was a bit […]
