You're Just Gonna Have To Kill Me I Guess...

Advantages: A lot better than the recent straight to videos, Vinnie Jones and Nick Brimble
Disadvantages: Dubbing over 60% of Seagal's voice

...hoped that the recent release Submerged would see him return to at lease a decent, watch able standard. Despite the fact Seagal was still playing a special agent of some sort, a role he does get right quite often, there was also the added appeal of ex Wimbledon player Vinnie Jones in one of the lead roles. Seagal stars as an anti terrorist agent Chris Cody locked up with his team for disobeying a direct order during his last mission. Locked within ...
...what he does best and Submerged certainly highlights that. It is a thoroughly enjoyable action movie that does exactly what it says on the tin. The script inst overly complicated and that is where this film wins awards over a few of his recent straight to video releases. They all tried to be clever and it led to a weak script, whereas this one is quite simplistic. This is the first film by Anthony Hickox that I have come across. He has done a number ...

Full eclipse...Please just dissapear

Advantages: cheap DVD, the plot could work
Disadvantages: pritty much everything,

Well we all known their are many cheap DVD's out their. You know the ones, straight to Video releases that never actually make it to the cinema. Sometimes you find a gem in those, i especially fing Rutger Hauer films interesting. Alas this release is not one of those gems. WHOS IN THE FILM?? Mario Van Peebles Patsy Kensit Bruce Payne WHOS THE DVD FOR?? This DVD would suit anyone into action films. It isnt horror but it is rated as an 18. Their ...
...can justify the 18 mark but you better keep it legal. WHATS ON THE DVD?? The DVD isnt really packed with features or special extras. Its quite basic. Feature, scene selection, subtitles, 2 trailers, 6 trailers for other budget films. WHATS THE STORY?? From the dvd sleeve: "A sinister cop leader has recruited a secret vigilante squad, eradicating the criminals with an incredible new weapon - an extra ordinary serum that gives his team superhuman ...

...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) ...

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. ...
