Action & Adventure > Slater, Christian Action & Adventure

Who said romance was dead?

Advantages: Original, fast paced, a multitude of stars
Disadvantages: Too violent, swearing

True Romance is a fantastic film which boasts an all-star cast including the likes of Christopher Walken, Christian Slater, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman amongst others and the film is filled with such colourful characters and indeed dialogue which provides a somewhat memorable movie. The plot is that Chrisitan Slater is an affable and well-meaning comic book clerk who goes out on a date with a hooker, played by Patricia Arquette, and they both fall ...
...chemistry between the two stars in the film, and they set out on a wild road trip after Slater kills Drexyl, Arquette's former pimp and coming into possession of some narcotics owned by the Mob. Oldman hams it superbly as the somewhat larger than life and colourful pimp and rarely has there been such a character in a film who is so obnoxious, so unbelievably vile with no redeeming characteristics whatsoever that we cannot help but cheer when he meets ...

Slater v Travolta

Advantages: Great cast and exciting story
Disadvantages: none

...to make action films and Broken Arrow is no exception. It was released in 1996. Broken Arrow is about two Air Force pilots, Major Vic Deakins (John Travolta) and Captain Riley Hale (Christian Slater), who are pitted against each other when Deakins deliberately crashes a stealth bomber armed with two nuclear missiles. Deakins and his his team of soldiers led by Emmitt Kelly (Howie Long), plans to blackmail the US government. They will detonate the ...
...Riley and park ranger Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis), realise that that are the best hope for avoiding a nuclear disaster and attempt to retrieve the warheads and stop Deakins, from completing his deadly mission of destruction.

John Travolta is a great baddie and he is a joy to watch. The ...

Review of Broken Arrow (DVD)

Elvis has left the building, Thankyou very much!

Advantages: Good acting, Good songs at the end
Disadvantages: Embarassing sex scene near the start when kid witnesses them doing it.

...in the opening scenes of 3000 miles, a kid kicks him in the shin. Sort of inside joke get your own back). I love Kurt Russell as an actor and he played the role of Michael Zane really well. Zane's character is kind of caring yet doesn’t give a toss at the same time. He is essentially a good guy, that is happy to be a bad guy temporarily, until he gets what he needs. Kevin Costner plays Thomas Murphy, who is the real baddie in this film. I’m not ...
...performance in this film. Maybe he plays baddies better than the boring drivel I find him performing in the likes of Field of Dreams. Costner passes as a b*****d really well actually and you almost love to hate this guy. Christian Slater is Hanson, a member of the Elvis dressing gang. He is quiet and wants to keep things fair etc with the money. His part in the film is minimal as are the other members of the gang once the heist is over. The film ...

Review of 3000 Miles To Graceland (DVD)

Rain Rain Rain

Advantages: Action Packed thoughout
Disadvantages: No comments

I thought Hard rain was very good film. This movie is about a truck been robbed during a flood. The drivers are played by Christian Slater and Edward Asner. Morgan Freeman wants the money. The plot is basically-there is a bad storm and the town is evacuated. Christian Slater (tom)is in charge of rescuing £3,000,000 dollars, but a group of theives plan to get it off of him. Both Slater and Freeman play cat and mouse though out the movie. This movie ...
...as the hero. The action is excellent with explosions jet ski chases and of course shootouts. The plot is very original with some superb twists in the tale to keep you entertained. There are Good performances from Christian Slater and Minnie Driver. This movie is great if you like action movies, lots of special effects. Overall, it a great action with a fast plot and loads of fun! . Oh and there's also the fact that it's raining throughout the whole ...
