Advantages: THE VERY BEST CAR CHASE SEEN ON EARTH
Disadvantages: THE GREEN BEETLE

Bullitt is the film, the Mustang for me is the show, when you talk about Car Chase's theres only one that really stands out for me yes I Know about Ronin, The Italian Job, French Connection, Taxi ect, all had great in car moments but Steve Mcqueen in a Mustang 68'gt on the streets of San Francisco in the 60's chasing the baddies is for me complete and utter octane. Steve Mcqueen plays Frank Bullitt who is a detective protecting a witness for a seedy ...
...Duvall everything looks right. Bullitt did win an Oscar but sadly not for the Car chase action but for best Film Editing which brings me back to the Great Chase, if you have watched it i.e the chase scene as much as me (probably over 500 times and wearing out VHS's and DVD players) you will notice a green VW Beetle Steve passes several times. Now if that films won an Oscar for best Editing (the green VW beetle) surely theres been a mistake just look ... Read review

Advantages: A solid late 1960's movie. That totally incredible car chase sequence
Disadvantages: Very poor storyline. Now a little dated.

...12-minute long car chase when Bullitt pursues two of the aforementioned mobsters around the streets of San Francisco in his highly tuned Ford Mustang. The bad guys are driving a Dodge Charger, by the way, and so with two legendary American "muscle" cars pitting themselves against each other neither are short of horsepower! Watching a repeat of the movie recently on Sky Movies, I was taken just how dated this car chase has now become with the passage ...
...the car chase scene in Bullitt is truly remarkable. What's also interesting is that this car chase could never be filmed today. Warner brothers got permission from the Mayor of San Francisco to use the actual city streets, something that wouldn't even be contemplated in today's safety conscious society. And no insurance company would ever be prepared to carry the horrendous financial risk of insuring the actors, the cars, and the public during the ... Read review

Advantages: Great characters
Disadvantages: -

...seeing the first series of Ultimate Force I eagerly awaited the release of Series 2 and I have to say that it didn't fail to deliver. Like the first series, this series is again based around 'red troop' a troop of SAS soldiers. In terms of characters very few changes have been made Alex Leonard who left at the end of the first series is replaced by the cocky and loud-mouthed Louis Hoffman (who is first seen in Series 1 Episode 3) and BOX, whose ...
...Akhurst), who provides a love interest for Red Troop's charismatic Staff Sergeant Henno Garvie (Ross Kemp). This series is more explosive than the last on many levels with more bullets flying and more people falling especially in the opening episode where Red Troop find themselves in a blue on blue situation on a ship docked in Southampton and have to come to terms with the fact that it isn't only those on the other side that are falling. Other ... Read review

Advantages: Ridiculously exciting, OTT extravaganza
Disadvantages: Morally disgusting

...his earlier Rocky Balboa. However, Rambo IV is still a ridiculously exciting, if politically disgusting, high-octane, uber-violent romp. Easily the equal of many of the fiercest horror films of recent times in terms of sheer gore and depravity - necks are ripped open, children are flung left and right, heads explode, innards spill to the dirt - the picture is considerably harsher than its predecessors. It is, though, just as moronic as the previous ...
...Religious, Cultural and Military Might. Rambo IV does nothing to reverse this trend, with Stallone being very open about the film's Christian values (a shame-faced attempt to ape Mel Gibson's success with similar audiences) and the piece as a whole stands as a justification for any amount of imperialist rampaging. That said - nauseating and barbaric it may be, but, much like the final third of Mark L. Lester's 1985 Commando, it's impossible not to ... Read review

Advantages: Great action movie with great actors
Disadvantages: Movie is not long enough

In my opinion by far the best movie of 2005. Not only starring two great HollyWood stars, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, but also directed by the great film director Doug Liman. This film is great action mixed with a little bit of humour, and both Brad and Angelina play their roles beautifully. This film begins with a unhappyly married couple, both of whom are high-class assassins, and both of whom are oblivious to each others true occupations. ...
...occasions, and when she fiinds out who her husband really is, she is even more determined to kill him, and they go on a rampage around the streets shooting at each other. But something is holding them back. Could it be the secret love they have for each other?? This film will keep you in suspense, right till the very end, where the outcome may surprise a few of you. ... Read review
