Russell Theme: Action/drama Classification: "12" Length: 115 minutes My thoughts = This is a film about the lives of firemen and is meant to be a tribute to them. Apparently, ...
...the question, "Why do some men run into burning buildings when everyone else is running out?" I think that the film did a very good job of this. By showing the development of both Jack's personal and professional life, the audience gets to know him as a person. We see his ordinary life as a husband and father and we see him go from fighting his first fire to performing many daring rescues. Although I could understand his wife who was afraid he might ...

Advantages: Too many to mention.
Disadvantages: Pity there isn't more.

...one boxset. Let's start with Pulp Fiction, what can I say that hasn't been said already. This movie is a must see for all Tarantino fans. It starts with lightning pace and just keeps on going. The plot is intricately woven giving the audience dashes of dark humour, explosive action and senceless violence. The characters are colourful and exciting and it's the best sountrack to a movie I have heard in a long time. This is a must see movie. Jackie ...

Advantages: Entertaining
Disadvantages: Strange mixture of drama and comedy

Unfortunately, in his last case, he was responsible for killing the son of a corrupt businessman called Howard Saint, who then seeks revenge on Castle and his family by killing every single last one of them. Frank somehow manages to survive and, once recovered, decides to exact his own revenge on Saint and his family. ...
...did a reasonalbe job in the role. Based on a Marvel comic character, Castle is not really terribly believable - although he isn't imbued with super-hero characteristics, he does manage to live through violence that would have finished most people off, then get up, dust himself off, and start again. However, bearing that in mind, I thought Jane worked well within the confines of the role. He certainly looked the part - all rippling muscle and brooding ... Read review
