Advantages: Great action movie with great actors
Disadvantages: Movie is not long enough

In my opinion by far the best movie of 2005. Not only starring two great HollyWood stars, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, but also directed by the great film director Doug Liman. This film is great action mixed with a little bit of humour, and both Brad and Angelina play their roles beautifully. This film begins with a unhappyly married couple, both of whom are high-class assassins, and both of whom are oblivious to each others true occupations. ...

Advantages: Fantastic stunt sequences
Disadvantages: NONE

When I first saw the Bourne Identity I was totally blown away by it, the action sequences and stunts were shot to perfection, the story intriguing and the characters complex yet real. The Bourne Identity is the first part of a trilogy based on the books written by Robert Ludlum. (It is worth noting however that the film does not exactly follow the book, so don't buy the film expecting it to be the book because it's not.) Jason Bourne, played by ...
...thriller Jason Bourne and Maria, the girl he has enlisted to help him, played by Franka Potente, must ride the white-knuckle ride that is Bourne's quest to find his identity. The reason he is being hunted down is unclear but what is clear is that he has a definite instinct to kill and if he can find out why then maybe he can just escape the nightmare that is The Bourne Identity. The tag line of the film is "He was the perfect weapon until he became ... Read review

Advantages: thriller with intelligence
Disadvantages: the "special edition" could be more special

...Damon is Jason Bourne in the first of (currently) two films that follow the lead character's journey of self discovery after falling victim to amnesia and waking up with a bullet ridden body, an alarming propensity to easy violence and the access code to a Swiss safety deposit box. Without giving too much of the plot away, there are fights and chases (including a great car chase through Paris) and a bit of romance as Bourne tries to find out who ...
...kill him. The Bourne Identity is based on the first of 4 novels written by Robert Ludlum and featuring the exploits of Jason Bourne although it differs in many respects from the version on the printed page. However it was clearly a labour of love for director Doug Liman (who had previously directed Swingers and Go and has recently gone on to have a big hit with Mr and Mrs Smith) who formed a close relationship with the author during the making of ...

Advantages: Good fast paced action movie, decent martial arts scenes
Disadvantages: Could have done with another big name

...did really like the first Transporter movie and so it was really inevitable that I’d be seeing this regardless of my prior concerns about it. Statham resumes his role from the first movie as a Transporter, a man paid to deliver things from one place to another. Only this time he has moved to Miami and the films starts with him doing a favour for a friend and acting as a chauffer. When the little boy he is driving around becomes the target of a kidnapping ...
...This second instalment of the Transporter series sees Statham team up for the second time with Louis Leterrier. His direction seems to have come on a little from the first movie but with that in mind it still looks pretty good. The fight sequences are very well choreographed and look really well put together. The car and boat chases also look amazing with Leterrier really using some great angles and effects to create a film that looks really good. ... Read review

Advantages: Great characters
Disadvantages: -

...seeing the first series of Ultimate Force I eagerly awaited the release of Series 2 and I have to say that it didn't fail to deliver. Like the first series, this series is again based around 'red troop' a troop of SAS soldiers. In terms of characters very few changes have been made Alex Leonard who left at the end of the first series is replaced by the cocky and loud-mouthed Louis Hoffman (who is first seen in Series 1 Episode 3) and BOX, whose ...
...Akhurst), who provides a love interest for Red Troop's charismatic Staff Sergeant Henno Garvie (Ross Kemp). This series is more explosive than the last on many levels with more bullets flying and more people falling especially in the opening episode where Red Troop find themselves in a blue on blue situation on a ship docked in Southampton and have to come to terms with the fact that it isn't only those on the other side that are falling.
