...cast, with many established British actors. It is good to see the characters in their younger incarnations before they become vital to the Batman world. The special effects are stunning and will dazzle and amaze. This is an amazing film from Christopher Nolan that definitely does the Batman franchise justice. ...

Advantages: 3 films for the price of 1
Disadvantages: No extras

...seperately, so here goes: Broken Arrow The Story is so simple and typical of an american writer, 2 Air Force pilots are pitted against each other in a race to recover two stolen nuclear warheads.It makes you wonder what realy happens over in america, they seem to lose more nuclear weapons than i care to imagine!!! What transpires is a Fast Paced action adventure that makes you wonder what incredibel feat will the main stars (Travolta, Slater) do ...
...myself during watching!(Namely after the scene on top of the train, i added "It's been a while since anyone has shot between her legs") Worth watching as it has good entertainment value. I still thoroughly enjoyed this film, yet it was not a remarkable performance by any of the cast nor director! Director:- John Woo Cast include's:- John Travolta, Christian Slater, Delroy Lindo Run Time:- 104mins approx The Siege This was the main film that ...

Rain Rain Rain

Advantages: Action Packed thoughout
Disadvantages: No comments

I thought Hard rain was very good film. This movie is about a truck been robbed during a flood. The drivers are played by Christian Slater and Edward Asner. Morgan Freeman wants the money. The plot is basically-there is a bad storm and the town is evacuated. Christian Slater (tom)is in charge of rescuing £3,000,000 dollars, but a group of theives plan to get it off of him. Both Slater and Freeman play cat and mouse though out the movie. This movie ...
...as the hero. The action is excellent with explosions jet ski chases and of course shootouts. The plot is very original with some superb twists in the tale to keep you entertained. There are Good performances from Christian Slater and Minnie Driver. This movie is great if you like action movies, lots of special effects. Overall, it a great action with a fast plot and loads of fun! . Oh and there's also the fact that it's raining throughout the whole ...

Jack Ryan vs Harrison Ford

Advantages: All Jack Ryan stories are together and in order
Disadvantages: Jack Ryan played by different actors

...Soviet nuclear sub heading for the US. The Government think he is going to attack but Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) thinks he wants to defect. Jack has a couple of hours to prove his theory before the US Government find the 'Red October' and blow it up. Sean Connery is brilliant as usual but I found The Hunt for Red October very slow to start with, although it got exciting towards the end. *Patriot Games* Patriot Games had me hooked from start to finish. ...
...then a race to stop the terrorist whose brother he killed from killing his family. Non-stop action and suspense. *Clear and Present Danger* Clear and Present Danger had me hooked from start to finish (although slightly complicated storyline). Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) is appointed acting CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence aqnd heads off to Colombia to investigate the murder of one of the President's friends. This film is full of action and cover ...
