Jack Ryan Returns

Advantages: A good film with strong performances from everyone
Disadvantages: A slow start

...action scenes. On its own Clear and Present Danger is a good movie that once it gets going will keep you entertained for a couple of hours To date three actors have played Jack Ryan and it has to be said Harrison Ford makes the part his own by bringing depth and substance to a character that was otherwise portrayed as somewhat weak and two dimensional by the other two actors who have played Jack Ryan. ...

Review of Clear And Present Danger (Special Edition) (DVD)

So how close did they come to nuclear war?

Advantages: Well made film with good performances from the leads
Disadvantages: Strayed from the truth and didn't appeal to the audience enough

Every now and then, a film comes along that gives disappointing results but is actually a marvellously made film, and no doubt leaves everyone involved with it bitter at the poor showing from the public to watch it and publicise it. In 2002, director Kathryn Bigelow teamed up with actors Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson to make a film based on one of the closest scrapes in Cold War history. A true story is always hard to convert into a cinematic success, ...
...Cold War, the Russians believed that the US were on the verge of striking against them with a nuclear attack. To counter this and possibly prevent it, they constructed a nuclear submarine and sent it to rest in the waters off New York, just out of US jurisdiction. Captain Mikhail Polenin was originally chosen as the man to lead this mission, and he was heavily involved with the construction of the sub and the politics and finer details of the mission. ...

Review of K-19: The Widowmaker (DVD)

Firewall

Advantages: good plot
Disadvantages: sound-track wasn't very well mixed into the film

Now the other review about this film is a tonne of rubbish. This film wasn't bad at all. I rather enjoy fims which envolve blackmail. I would recommend this film to people who like action and thriller films. Harrison Ford is a well decorated actor, from Indiana Jones to Air Force One. Which are brilliant films. He is getting rather old now, but still at his best from what i saw in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal skull. The films plot ...
...responsible for the security of the computer system of a small bank. He is very connected to his family, his wife Beth, a teenager daughter and a young son. When the gang led by the criminal Bill Cox invades his house, they force Jack to transfer a hundred million dollars to a bank account in Cayman Islands as ransom for his family. When Bill does not release his family, Jack tries to save them by his own. I rate this film as 8/10. ...

A One Armed Man Killed Your Wife? Riiight!

Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...find his wife dying on the floor of the bedroom, she has been shot and her attacker is still in the house. Richard tries to stop him but fails, he notices that the man only has one arm though, subsequent to this he tries to revive his wife but again to no avail. With no evidence of a break in and a 911 call in which Richard’s wife apparently names him her attacker, Richard is charged with murder and is sentenced to death. While on his way to death ...
...an escape, which leads to the bus crashing and the prisoners escaping. After helping one of the injured police officers Richard is left with a choice; wait for the police to pick him up or go on the run and discover the truth about his wife’s death… Although being released way back in 1993 I have only watched The Fugitive recently for the very first time and after it was shown on TV again a couple of days ago I jumped at the chance to relive the ...

Review of The Fugitive (DVD)

My Grandad in a film!!

Advantages: Ok storyline, good action
Disadvantages: Harrison Ford should not act out own stunts from now on

...is a real fan of Indiana Jones and even put me through watching the previous 3 films before we received this one, just so we were familiar with the stories, not that I could ever forget. We are taken to 1957 where Dr Henry "Indiana" Jones (Harrison Ford) has been captured by Colonel Doctor Irina Spalko (played by Cate Blanchett) and her convoy of Soviet agents who lead Indiana to Hanger 51 where in previous films we discovered is where the Government ...
...Irina wants Indiana to locate something for her that is contained within the Hangar and it is here that Indiana realises that his partner Mac (played by Ray Winstone) is actually helping the soviet's in order to gain a large payout. They leave with their wanted treasure and Indiana Jones manages to escape, how I wonder as Harrison Ford in his sixties is a lot less agile than in the earlier films as you would come to expect and this is clear as we ...
