Great Idea, Mediocre Movie...
Review of Chain Reaction DVD by CaptainDisaster

Advantages: It tries really hard to be a tense techno-thriller...
Disadvantages: ... but fails, mainly through poor editing and production style.

...I'm Chain Reaction starts off with an intriguing premise and goes downhill from there, despite trying really hard to be a tense techno-thriller. In The initial idea, of a new power-source being developed from water (we're not talking traditional hydro-power here though) - which supposedly has the capacity to use the hydrogen in small glass of water to power the whole city of Chicago for weeks -is brilliant. The idea of the rich and powerful oil companies ...
...it's not bad. Chain There's a brain behind this film (somewhat a rarity for this genre), but unfortunately it's been rather lost in the translation. It's almost as though someone said, "Hey, here's a brilliant idea for a film, let's turn it into a mediocre movie" - and lo! - it became so. It's certainly not a terrible film - watching it didn't leave me feeling that part of my life had been stolen - just that I hadn't made a profit on what time I'd ... Read review

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 ... Read review

speed film review
Review of Speed (Special Edition) (Wide Screen) by wardyward

Advantages: action packed and fast paced
Disadvantages: not many

i think speed is a great name for this film as from start to finish it is action packed, and also the story line is very gripping. the acting is to a usual standard, i thought. not great oscar winning performances but its an action film so i wouldnt expect any. the chartacters in this film are very memorable beause of the actions sequences that they take part in. for instance keanu reeves under the coach/bus trying to diffuse the bomb, i loved this ...
...fifty mph; then, if the speed drops below fifty, the bomb will explode. Their high-speed bus ride through L.A.'s city streets and freeways is like something out of an amusement park and will leave you quite breathless. as far as i no the extras contained in this dvd special edition are a normal standard as to what you would normally get. i.e commentarys from the cast and crew, biographys and deleted scenes. ...
