Action & Adventure > S Action & Adventure > Schwarzenegger, Arnold > I

Advantages: Smart, I like- Smart ass, I dont
Disadvantages: Arnie doesnt get the real 'action' we all know he wants!

Schwarzenegger is Kaminsky, a lone wolf cop working undercover to find the killer of his retainers young rookie son. Arnie immerses himself in the mafia underworld and becomes Sam Wanamaker's ganglord right hand man. The bassy soundtrack is half of the success of this glorious testosterone fuelled gun-fest. From the way Arnie checks all his weapons (yes he pumps his shotgun and then looks at himself in the mirror) to the way he executes mafioso with ...
...cheek performance from Arnold. Not a bad plot this time but the acting could be better and Schwarzenegger carries the film. You may recognise a couple of the actors (one from Scarface and one from License to Kill) but in all honesty, only true Arnie fans can appreciate this film. Not his best work and cheesey in the extreme. But if you are only going to watch five minutes of this film watch the scene where Arnie cranks up the volume of his car stereo ... Read review

Advantages: Total Recall
Disadvantages: Red Sonja

...a high budget sci-fi where Arnie is Doug Quaid- a lowly construction worker whoi dreams of going to mars. His wife wont let him so he goes for the new fangled memory implant on offer for a company called RECALL. Big mistake- Arnie is an undercover operative who has had his identity changed by 'the agency' and is briefed to infiltrate rebel forces on Mars. Doug Quaid, has different ideas: In a nutshell "I dont wanna spoil it for you Doug, but rest ...
...to skip. Raw Deal Arnie is an undercover cop infiltrating a mafia gang. Wonderfully cheesey and simple with lots of killing and oneliners. Not a bad little film early on in Arnie's career. No special features to speak of on the dvd. Red Sonja This is not an Arnie movie, its a Bridgette Nielson movie in which Arnie plays a part. Its a swords and sorcery movie which is barely watchable and includes a whole host of extremely annoying characters who ... Read review

Advantages: Schwarzenegger with guns...duh
Disadvantages: Fairly run of the mill stuff, Arny's early work.

...on the DVD certainly doesn't help matters. But all in all, Raw Deal is great as a budget film, but don't pay over the odds for it. Personally I'd prefer to get a newer action film with a bigger budget and descent special effects like many of his later offerings. ... Read review

Advantages: Anybody can enjoy it.
Disadvantages: None

...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
