Advantages: Entertaining, Action and Estevez Disadvantages: Not a typical western
and works brilliantly against the opposing character of his brother. Making up the ensemble you have Kiefer Sutherland as "Doc" Scurlock, who is the thinker and the poet of the bunch. Although this is not Sutherland's crowning performance he holds his own as he matches Estevez and Sheen's performances. Also making prominent appearances in Young Guns are Terence Stamp, Jack Palance, Lou Diamond Phillips and Dermot Mulroney all of which put in solid performances. Although all the performances are very good and captivating, they are just a bit unrealistic as gun totting outlaws, but this may be due to the producers wanting to make the stars good looks as appealing as possible rather than realistic.
Directed by Christopher Cain, you know straight away from the opening credits, when you get moody looking full face shots of the stars that this is ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Young Guns (DVD)
Advantages: Truly thought provoking. Disadvantages: An old film so bad quality though it has been improved upon
Johnny Got His Gun is originally an anti-war novel published in 1939 by Dalton Trumbo, an American novelist. The novel was based on a true event where a soldier lost all his senses and all of his limbs.
The film was released in 1971 and was re-released in 2009 on DVD. The 2009 DVD also includes a documentary titled Dalton Trumbo: Rebel in Hollywood, the music video One by Metallica, cast interviews, the original trailer, a radio told version of the book from 1940 and behind the scenes commentary.
The name Johnny got his Gun was an American propaganda call for rallying young men to subscribe to the military.
Plot

Advantages: great actors, good story, good effects Disadvantages: None come to mind
.
The film was mainly based on the Island of Navarone and I did think that the sets and scenery were excellent and we did get some wonderful views of the mountains and islands surrounding it. I did find that when the men were travelling to Navarone they visited some lovely places and they all looked very authentic and realistic. The effects which were used were very good and looked very real. I did not noticeable see any bad effects of dodgy added backdrops which made for better viewing in my opinion.
The music throughout the film was good but nothing spectacular or memorable. It was all good for the places which it was used and helped with the scene setting.
The DVD which we have does have some bonus material which includes:-
Directors Commentary
Featurettes
- A message from Carl Foreman
- Great Guns
- Honeymoon on Rhodes
- No ...
