Pulling off the biggest scam of your career with confidence

Advantages: A cool and stylish con movie with plenty of twists
Disadvantages: Not enough character depth

Confidence was the exact feeling i had when i saw this and parted with three of my english pounds to the lady behind the counter at Blockbuster a few years ago. Although the film had fallen under my movie radar, i saw the cast and thought that this film at least would be good enough to keep me entertained for the evening, it turned out to be more than that. A rental turned into a purchase, a purchase turned into me lending it out which led to other ...

Review of Confidence (DVD)

An edge of your seat thriller that promises to deliver

Advantages: Gripping storyline, good twists
Disadvantages: Nothing orignal, bad acting from some of the actors

Derailed is a thriller based on a book written by James Siegel of the same name. The film isn’t to be confused with Jean-Claude Van Damme’s film of the same name released in 2002. Derailed didn’t exactly do well at the box office, well, that’s a bit of an understatement. Derailed was mauled by over 80% of critics. The film is rated 15 and runs for approximately 106 minutes. Derailed was made on a budget of $22,000,000 and grossed an estimated $57,479,076 ...
...point in watching again, however Derailed is different, it’s something that really captured my attention and even though I know the outcome it’s still an enjoyable film for me to watch every so often. As soon as I saw this film advertised I had high hopes for it. I’m a big fan of thrillers and this one had a brilliant cast which included one of my favourite actresses so I was looking forward to seeing it. One thing that did bother me a little was ...

I'll Sleep Well If I Have To Watch This Again

Advantages: None I can see
Disadvantages: Far too many to list

... Victor On paper I'll Sleep When I'm Dead sounds like a fantastic idea; when you connect the fact that Director Mike Hodges who bought us the original Get Carter considers this a follow up to (although not in the conventional sense) to Get Carter you immediately think that something great is upon you. However that's sadly wrong, what you in fact have on you is the premise of a good story that transpires to be an empty shell. The first thing that ...
...It's kind of ironic that I'll Sleep When I'm Dead was a big seller in respect of DVD sales, not only did it sit at number one in the charts for several weeks; but when I used to sell DVD's I could never get hold of enough of these. I can only conclude that the reason it was so popular was at the time of its DVD release Clive Owen was pretty much a guaranteed cert to be the new James Bond. Because having flitted through several websites today I cannot ...
