Advantages: Fine performance from connery
Disadvantages: Connery plays the role very much with a straight bat, perhaps a little too pompous & stiff but entertaining all the same

...Victorian England. Connery plays the role very much with a straight bat, perhaps a little too pompous & stiff but entertaining all the same. However, he is ably supported by fellow criminals Donald Sutherland (with a rather thick & unforgiving Cockney accent) and a rather angelic performance from Leley-Anne Down as Connery's love interest. Coupled with a some outstanding cinematography by Geff Unsworth, showing panoramic views of the English countryside, ...
...been better, although I feel the film is perhaps 10 or 15 minutes overlong. But he never lets the pace flounder, and neither does he let the Connery-Down love interest suffocate or distract from the overall plot. However, the characterisation for the main leads is a bit shallow & clumbsy. Connery is very much at home as Edward Pierce, the well respect city gent & playboy. In essence, not all that different from his James Bond character, although ... Read review

Advantages: GREAT FILM
Disadvantages: N/A

...course is made by the james bond film. This is a classic like all the others with fast cars, hot girls and action all the way through. The film takes you in straight away with a action pact start. With the 2 disk special edition dvd learn how they made this scene is made in close up detail and here the directors thoughts on it. I bought this DVD for £10.99 but for a price of £6.50 this is a bargain for one of the best Bond films around. THE dvd ... Read review

A brilliant film with amazing special effects and action. . . . . . . . . . . . Everyone has heard of the epic and legendary battle of troy.

Advantages: The villain. Fonda's acting
Disadvantages: Richard Widmark's acting. Lots of pointless scenes

Madigan is a 1968 film directed by Don Siegel starring Richard Widmark in the lead role. The film starts off and Dan Madigan and his partner Rocca Banero are two detectives who are about to bring a criminal Banesch in for questioning. However, things go wrong and Benesch escapes taking the detectives guns with him. This obviously doesn't go down well in the station and the men are fined five days pay for loosing their guns and since Benesch has now ...
...every single film. His character Madigan was not in the least likable. A maverick cop who doesn't play by the rules is by now too clichéd but it's not even that. The only rule breaking Madigan does in the film is bully people for police discount and threaten to drop a heavy desk on an old woman. The weird thing is after the table scene this almost victorious sounding music plays as if Madigan done a great job. It's clear at the end that you were ... Read review

Advantages: Its great to watch the plot unravel then gradually make sense
Disadvantages: Its confusing as hell 1st time you watch it

...This chaos all starts with Fight Club. Obviously I can't talk about that because of it's rules but it rapidly goes from 2 guys to almost becoming like a fraternity but theb becomes an underground cult , quickly spreading from its roots to being all over the US. Likewise Operation Mayhem which will give you a whole new appreciation of soap & how its made. The film is really weird and incredibly difficult to follow (also extremely difficult to review ...
...Tyler Durden, or at least certain aspects of Tyler Durden. At times you won't know if Pitt is real but thats the whole idea of his role and its great to constantly be kept on your toes guessing until very late into the movie. Meatloaf plays a man with testicular cancer & breasts due to hormone excess (his name is Robert Paulson). Helena Bonhom Carter plays a woman who constantly cries for attention (much like Norton in fact & also attends support ... Read review
