Ooh jackie

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

One of Jackie Chan's weaker efforts, this story of twins separated at birth relies too much on its premise instead of paying attention to even, coherent plot development. Chan plays two roles, one a concert pianist and the other a street guy with a knack for getting into trouble. The gimmick isn't enough to pull the story into shape, and character development is only given the cursory nods mandated by the plot. Still, Jackie Chan's screen presence ...

Review of Twin Dragons (Dubbed) (DVD)

Not your usually awful Van Damme movie....

Advantages: A Van Damme movie that doesn’t insult your intelligence for some of the time....
Disadvantages: A bit too out there for the average Van Damme fan, perhaps?

Van Damme looks ridiculous standing next to the frankly enormous Dennis Rodman (which might expalin why you don't see the both of them standing next to each other much....). Rodman is surprisingly NOT bad BUT he’s given nothing to do BUT give a few bad insults (they don’t stick), say several more stupid things and act very tongue-in-cheek and strike down the odd nemesis, as he comes across as unexpectedly camp. Rodman’s character ...
...(there’s snatches of him elsewhere though....) and even then it’s only as he’s about to drive off on his motorcycle and Van Damme stops him just about as he is to roar off. The film has some nice touches BUT believing that Rodman is a weapons dealer-cum-inventor can indeed be a trifle bit too much for a demanding viewer such as myself (a neat touch with an inflatable parachute shaped as a basketball which it’s occupant uses ...

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...

Review of Crank (DVD)

The fast was fast and the furious were furious

Advantages: Effects, Performance
Disadvantages: Ending

Overall the movie turned out not to be as boring as I thought it would be. When I heard about it I thought "great another movie about fast racing cars". After wathching it, my opinion changed. The actors/actresses performances were very well done. The effects made you hold your breath untill the sence was over and want to know what happens next. Being that I watched it after the fourth one was already out It was perfect Knowing ther was more to come. ...
...see this back round info.The reason it was good instead of excellent was because of the ending, which was really cool but could have been better. Unfortunetley, withut spoiling the movie there is only so much I can tell you. Thankyou for reading and I hope It was Excellent. ...
