Modern classic.
Advantages: Rousing action sequences, excellent acting, beautiful score, fast paced, gorgeous cineamtography.
Disadvantages: Graphic violence may put some off.
...to old school swords-and-sandals flicks. Gladiator is one of those rare films where all the relevant boxes are ticked: riveting action sequences, strong lead, slimy villain, wonderful supporting cast, classy period detail, gorgeous cinematography, perfect SFX, moving score and just a downright thrilling tale of a man wronged. Russell Crowe is tremendous in the role and it has rightfully made him one of cinema's biggest stars and the late Richard ...
...Ridley Scott is a master of visuals and here was the perfect opportunity in recreating a new (old) world - much in the way he does with Blade Runner he fills the screen with details that demand repeat viewings. Meanwhile the script is a surprisingly moving tale which makes the revenge all the more sweet. A modern classic. ...

...commentary on the urban lifestyle, Falling Down stars Michael Douglas as the disgruntled antihero William Foster, who can no longer cope with society and begins to take matters into his own hands. Stuck in a traffic jam on a hot day in LA, the protagonist (Douglas) steps out of his car, declaring to the irate drivers behind; "I'm going home!" He then embarks on a journey to visit his estranged wife and young daughter who is celebrating her birthday. ...
...William. Much of Falling Down's merit comes from the way in which it begins to give the viewer the impression that the film will be light-hearted, by William's almost comical appearance at the beginning of the film, wearing a short-sleeved tucked-in white shirt and tie, while smashing up a convenience store with a baseball bat. The film becomes increasingly deep, as Douglas becomes something of a bad guy, much to his own horror. This party of the ...

Come on, Wesley. Do that roundhouse again!
Advantages: Entertaining action
Disadvantages: Nothing special
...Why I decided to watch Passenger 57 a few nights before, then, I'll never know. Probably not the best film to watch if you're about to fly!
The film focuses on John Cutter (Wesley Snipes), a former International Airport Security Manager, who is coerced into coming back into the business by Tom Sizemore, now a bigwig in the antiterrorism business. Cutter finds himself on a plane when the FBI decide a last minute transfer for plane hijacker Charles ...
...boxes.
Passenger 57 is currently available from amazon.co.uk for £4.98. However, I would say it's the kind of film that is best off watching on TV whenever you see it pop up. It's a fun, easy to watch action film that doesn't try to do too much: just entertain. ...
