Advantages: Fans of Muhammed Ali will love it !!!!
Disadvantages: I found it boring and unexciting to be honest.

...The film is based on Ali in his pomp (1964-1974), And a lot is fitted into the two- and- a- half- hours of film. We get Cassius Clay winning the world title, his conversion to Islam and the name Muhammad Ali, his refusal to fight in Vietnam, the stripping of his title and, finally, the superhuman effort it took to regain it against George Foreman. There's also the personal relationships with sports journalist Howard Cosell (Jon Voight), Malcolm X ...
...exciting as i thought it was going to be but it ok I guess wont say I watch it again but I guess if you were a fan of legendary Muhammad Ali (moves like a butterfly sting like a bee) then u probably enjoy this movie. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...

Advantages: Bad Boys 1 & 2 a must see for all!
Disadvantages: S.W.A.T? They could have chosen a better third film

Having been a fan of Bad Boys 1 & 2 since they came out, putting them in a box set with swat doesn't do them justice. But for the price of the box set is a worth while investment. Bad Boys 1 & 2 can be watched over and over again and should be a definite in anyone DVD collection. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are the main characters and work well together on screen providing a action packed story line with hints of light hearted comedy make the ...
...S.W.A.T is a good film but compared to Bad Boys it comes no where near the same entertainment value. For me this is a great price for bad boys 1 & 2 so its an even better price when you get S.W.A.T thrown in too. A worth while buy! ... Read review

Advantages: Action packed, great extras on DVD
Disadvantages: Bit too predictable and Morgan freeman sucks.

Shooter, 2007, rating 15. I bought this film as a 3 for £20 from HMV and have only just got round to watching it. It is directed by Antoine Fuqua (Who???). Mark Wahlberg, yep, Marky Mark the rapper for all those that remember him that way, is in yet another film, he is certainly a prolific actor these days. In this film he plays Bob Lee Swagger Special Forces sniper. The opening scene sees Swagger camouflaged and waiting in some hills in Ethiopia, ...
...waiting some time, and the spotter, Donnie makes the fatal mistake of showing Swagger a photo of his girl back home, that's it, you just know he is a dead man, always happens! It's almost as predictable as the bit part college guy going into the dark room in a slasher movie. An American convey comes into view, and they are about to be ambushed by some rebel forces......Donnie starts reeling off targets, wind speeds, metres to each target, speed ... Read review

Advantages: Gripping plot
Disadvantages: None

L.A. Confidential has an impressive cast and certainly I found it to be an enjoyable crime thriller with a good storyline and some excellent performances. Set in 1940's Los Angeles and focusing on Hollywood it is a story about a number of police officers in the force charged with quelling a viscious gang war following the jailing of the head of the mafia in Los Angeles. It is a dark film with a lot of violence and some strong performances. Guy ...
