...Bang! Well thats the plot dealt with. Want more info? Hmmm...well ok, let me try to think...Well we have a movie directed by and starring Clint Eastwood along with the woman in his life at the time Sandra Locke. Clint plays a washed up Phoenix cop who looks like he has been sleeping in the same clothes for about a month and who has a drink problem. He opens the door of his car and out pours a stream of bottles, cans etc. Of course, this means that ...
...witness across country to the courthouse in which she is to testify. This witness is Sandra Locke, a prostitute(why does clint always have his wives girlfriends etc. cast as hookers, or molested in some way...hmm) who has more intelligence in her handbag than our dumbass hero has in his whole body. Everyone is out to get them but dear old Clint's character can't see this...well not until the first preposterous action scene. Ths movie excells in presposterous ... Read review

...film. Thats right. Its a space film. Made for the big screen but looking more at home on a "made for TV" film channel like Bravo or such like. What is it about? Well, I looked forward to this film as I love space and particularly manned space flight. Due to my interest, im normally the first to spot inconsistencies in the realism of these type of films. However, I was impressed with the start of the film where 2 of our stars are taking part in ...
...of the Russian and American space agencies is in danger after a Russian "weather satellite" armed to the back teeth with Nuclear warheads is about to crash out of orbit. The guidance system on the satellite is broken and needs fixing and it appears it is a stolen design in the 1970's from the Americans! Who Designed it? Clint.... Who needs to go and fix it? Clint.......Who is he taking with him? His old buddies who never got to go up! Special effects. ... Read review

...by and starring Clint Eastwood Heartbreak Ridge is a movie which quite literally stinks of sweat, stale beer and testosterone. Its a movie whose case sits on the shelf wreathed in cigar smoke and threatens to offer you outside were you even to look sideways at it. Indeed, the only other movies who dare sit near it are other Eastwood movies, a couple of Stallones and a few Schwarzennegers....the Van Damnes ran and hid behind Mary Poppins' dress in ...
...it to such good effect. Heartbreak Ridge is a movie which comes straight out of the file marked "Generic Military B-Movie" but one which is done with such colourful characters and raw energy that you can't help but get sucked in if you like a good tough guy movie. It sets its stall out from the opening scene which introduces us to our 'hero' Tom "Gunney" Highway...a beer swilling washed up old has-been(or never-really-was) military bloke in a bar...who ...

...going to be appearing in Die Hard i thought, brilliant. Bruce Willis is an amazing actor. The performance he gave was spectacular. He is one f the greatest actors in my opinion, when it comes to action films. The plot was very well thought out. I loved the film and the next 3 films that were produced after, were phenomenal. Also Alan Rickman playing a bad guy was a match made in heaven. His voice was perfect when he was giving Bruce an ultimatum. ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of action.
Disadvantages: Not much of a story.

When I watched Rambo I was pleasently suprised. These days films like this are bringing out yet another, most turn out to be dissapointing. A prime example being Terminator. The first two films being excellent for their time, and the 3rd adding something which I feel wasn't needed. This is what I was expecting when I put this film into the DVD player. However, I genuinly enjoyed this film, in a Rambo fan way. The film again does not fail to please ...
...disspointment with this film was the lack of real storyline. Many people may watch this and think, its just an excuse for over the top violence and blood. Yet this is one of the things which attracts people to Rambo. If your looking for a DVD with lots of graphic killing and none stop action, then this is the film for you. Despite his age Stallone is still going strong! Top notch! ... Read review
