Dolph with guns, pins, and muscle

Advantages: Good action scenes, bushman
Disadvantages: unexciting ending

...their culture and is named Red Scorpion and given the all important Scorpion tattoo, Nikolai turns his back on the Russians and meets back up with Kallunda and co and they all go to attack the russians at their base. The bushman was brilliant, even more so after finding out he was a real bushman that they found. The bushman even managed to crack a smile out of Nikolai which seemed impossible, there was some educational bits in there where we see ...
...entertaining, if you're a Dolph fan its most likely you'll enjoy it. There is some light humour in bits and some good action scenes with explosions. A downside is the ending was very dull and predictable, I feel this film could have been made more exciting towards the end, but if you enjoy lots of guns and blood its a decent ending!

What Happens After 48 Hours?

Advantages: Eddie Murphy
Disadvantages: Limited comedy, not a great storyline

...killers to justice. 48 Hours is something that has recently been doing it’s rounds on the Sky Movies channels and I decided to watch it on the recommendation of my Dad after hearing how much he enjoyed it, we tend to have very similar tastes in films so I was expecting to thoroughly enjoy this. Being a big fan of Eddie Murphy is something that made me want to see this even more. Nick Nolte is someone that I’m not too familiar with, I vaguely remember ...
...he looked very different but other than that I haven’t seen him in anything else. After his performance in this film I’m not particularly interested in seeing him anything else again. He plays a very gruff, moody talking cop in this film. Some women seem to like the brooding and moody macho type, I’m not such a fan of it. He simply has no personality in this film at all and is nowhere near as likeable as his co-star. You don’t care about his character ...

The Title Says It All...

Advantages: Some funny moments, decent enough ending
Disadvantages: Too much like the original

...which they very cleverly entitled Another 48 Hours and that’s exactly what this is, it’s a carbon copy of the original. I thought that first film was mediocre, it hasn’t aged well since it was released over 20 years so it can be forgiven for that however there was simply no spark in the film which would have enabled it to stand out from the crowd. Another 48 Hours manages to correct these mishaps from the inferior first film however it’s still nothing ...
...was very simple but effective. Another 48 Hours have again tried to use the simple but effective method but failed miserably. You never really know what the bikers have to do with anything and the Ice Man doesn’t really come into play until the last 30 minutes of the film despite several references to him throughout the film. I think in a way the comedy is better in this film however it’s blatantly obvious that the jokes have simply been recycled ...

Tango and Cash

Advantages: Cheap to buy on video and DVD
Disadvantages: A little lame in places

...stars as LA cop Ray Tango while Kurt Russell is Gabe Cash, his hated partner. The two get framed for a crime they didn't do, by a criminal who wants them out of the way. They end up in prison together and then break out to get the man who put them there. It's an unlikely but fun scenario. There are some violent scenes but that's typical of an action film like this. Terri Hatcher co-stars as Tango's sister and of course, there's a touch of romance ...
...it up as an international criminal. The acting isn't the greatest in the world and the plot and general background are predictable but it's still a fun movie. There are some great one-liners as well, especially from a cantankerous Sylvester Stallone. The two main characters are likeable and the film doesn't take itself too seriously. Stallone and Russell had generally only done straight action films at this point so it was a little bit different ...

Disadvantages: They Have not includes die hard 3 (with a vengeance)

...four great movies starring Bruce Willis. We all know Bruce Willis is a hell of an actor and what a way to show you really like his acting by buying this box set including four great movies.
