If I ever saw it...this is how it would look
Advantages: Its Excellent
Disadvantages: quite graphic
...The Concept
Traffic is a really intelligent look at the world of drug trafficking and offers a broad scale of insight. We see the trafficking process from its beginning in Mexico where attempts at its deterrence are much beleaguered by corruption, through to America's infinitely more constitutional attempt at tackling the problem. We are also the given the chance to see the happy upper class lives of those responsible for the drugs distribution ...
...the street and its effect on individuals and their families. The film involves countless harrowing scenes of habitual drug use and lacks the glamour with which drugs are all too often associated with these days. The flagrant snorting of cocaine and disturbing scenes involving both the smoking and injecting of Heroine are intensely compelling and the audience is not patronised or guarded from the rawness of these acts in any way. This makes the film ...

Swimming with Sharks, funny satire about office cruilty
Advantages: Well Acted, Sharp Script and Dialogue
Disadvantages: Small Scale and Budget
This is the kind of film many office people can identify with during their early years.....myself included. For anybody who wants to feel better about bad office experience, feeling humiliated, bullied and worthless,this is perfect. Spacey is on fine form as the contemptuous, egotistical, cruel and abusive movie exec, Buddy Ackerman who preys upon his seemingly weak newcomer Guy (Frank Whaley) who is bright but naive and wet behind the ears . The ...
...you wonder if your watching a play rather than a movie. There are no big budget thrills here and only a handful of relevant characters in purely office based settings. There's no doubt that it is fun watching Buddy get bullied and humiliated as he gets closer to going insane with rage. Buddy's character is said to be loosely based upon Joel Silver. Scenes in which Buddy makes Guy destroy every copy of a magazine because he does'nt like an article ...

Blows hot and cold
Advantages: Decent Thriller
Disadvantages: Slight over acting
...longer see his young son, the only thing going for him is his love of baseball and in particular that of the giants and their new signing Bobby Rayburn. With nothing left to fill his life, his passion for baseball turns into an obsession, controlling his every move and thought, and when Rayburn is persecuted by the public and critics for having a bad season, Renard takes it upon himself to sort things out.
Having intervened in a fatal manner, Rayburn's ...
...and his obsession with the Giants is turning into an obsession with Rayburn as he starts to stalk his every move, idolizing his new hero. But after an opportunity arises and he gets to chat to him, Renard realises that he is not the hero he thought he was and loses the plot as he decides to teach Rayburn a lesson.
Opinion
*********
I have to admit I am a fan of sports movies, especially ones which revolve around baseball, so when, in 1996, The ...

Not for a "Friday Night Out"
Advantages: Brilliant acting, soundtrack and cinematography
Disadvantages: Not for fun, sometimes storyline is a bit over the top
...form his trilogy: Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Babel. It is not a trilogy of continuous storylines, rather a set of films which show how a random or unlucky event can so strongly change people's lives, and how that event can bring together seemingly unconnected people in a tragic moment. As the title of this review states, it is not for a night out, and does not intend to make for an entertaining evening. It allows you to think, if you are that sort ...
...of art. Some may simply say that it is a depressing waste of 2 hours, but then their lives are probably a depressing waste of 70 years. (Joke) Although I would not rate this as highly as Amores Perros and perhaps not Babel, it is still an excellent film. The storyline is a little too convoluted and the non-uniform timeline also feels just slightly forced, but this is easily made up for and then some by brilliant acting from Sean Penn and Naomi Watts, ...

"And like that... he's gone,"
Advantages: Intelligent plot, especially the ending
Disadvantages: One bad casting decision, Slow paced at times
...blown away. To sum the plot up without giving too much away, a group of assorted criminals (and one ex-criminal) are herded up in connection with a robbery and end up grouping together to do some jobs. The key to this film is perspective and how brilliantly the director manages to manipulate it to create a compelling thriller. The plot is exciting and filled with twists - truly gripping stuff. The final sequence is where the film really reaches it's ...
...deep enough to be believable. The way they react with each other feels natural and they make it all the more enjoyable to watch. After it had finished, I immediately wanted to watch it again. Not because the plot was so complicated that I didn't understand the first time but because it was almost as though the world I had glimpsed the first time had not been enough and I was coming back for more. I also wanted to try and spot the clues which I could ...
