The Bourne Begins

Advantages: Good action sequences
Disadvantages: Can get dull in parts

The Bourne Identity of the first in what has become known as 'The Bourne Trilogy' and was released in 2002. Jason Bourne, we learn, is a trained assassin who is suffering from amnesia after failing to assassinate a target. As the film begins he has no idea who he is or what his occupation is and the majority of the film sees him either trying to track down information that will help him discover his identity or avoiding capture or death at the hands ...
...new found friend Marie. The film has some excellent action scenes and Matt Damon plays Jason Bourne pretty convincingly. You can really imagine him as a trained killer. Previous to this film, I'd only ever really liked Matt Damon as a comedy actor (Dogma, The Ocean's series) but this film really put him in a different light. I dare say he is now a fully fledged action star. ...

Seagal Entertainment

Advantages: The full works, all of Stevies best - Unmissable
Disadvantages: Be Prepared for a waning, breathless Seagal at the end of them all.

...the great spectacle that is Steven Seagal. In "Nico" he is born in Chicago, originally from Italy, and with a martial arts expertise perfected in Japan - truly a worldwide jester. He is just hilarious - if you really cannot be bothered working out how he will, again, get out of an otherwise ominous situation you want Steven Seagal movies. Its a stress - free decongestant that takes you away from your hectic life. Its Seagal, and its as funny as some ...
...shoddy acting is what all these films have in common, but what makes them worth buying is the unbelieveable pleasure derived from watching this charecter - always an Ex cop, or marine, or agent or an ex convict. All in all, this epic set of DVDs will give you a rollercoaster sensation as it showcases the progress (or eventual lack of it) of the best action hero in the world. ...

Probably most impressive movie about Troy war

Advantages: Very impressive movie, strong leading actors.
Disadvantages: The plot is very well known, so you probably won't be surprised

...simple - the story of Troy war is very widely known, many times screened before. So the problem is that many people before seing this movie already knows main details of it's plot, and how the movie is going to end. Anyway, even if you know the story, this movie is very impressive, entertaining and worth to watch it. ...
