The funhouse game

Advantages: A clever film that will have you captivated from start to end
Disadvantages: May be a bit too graphic for some, acting is not that great

...directed by Darren Lynn Bousman Saw 2 is the sequel to, surprise surprise, Saw and was released back in October 2005. Story line Xavier (“Franky G”)), Jonas (“Glen Plummer”), Laura (“Beverley Mitchell”), Obi (“Timothy Burd”), Daniel Matthews (“Erik Knudsen), Addison (“Emmanuelle Vaugier”) and Amanda (“Shawnee Smith”) are all ‘normal’ people and despite having never met, are strangers with a specific “something” in common. Being selected to participate ...
...The cast list of Saw 2 is pretty small, and those described above make up over 95% of the entire cast. The main characters are supported by few supporting actors, none of whom give memorable performances or really stand out. I found this surprising since there is usually at least one person that stands out from the crowd and worthy of a mention, but this is not the case with this film.

Essex Boys - British gangster flick

Advantages: a gripping watch
Disadvantages: lots of swearing

A typical British gangster flick and if like me you like Lock,stock / snatch / football factory etc you will love this film. Main character is Jason Locke (Sean Bean) who just released from prison soon slides back into the seedy underworld of nightclubs, drugs and guns based around Southend in Essex. He acquires himself a young chauffeur by the name of Billy Whizz, a young lad who starts of quite innocently driving Locke around only to end up having ...
...not liking what he sees, but its hard to say no when you've seen what you've seen, and realise it could be you next. Locke realises that times have changed since he's been inside and a vicious turn of events sees shootings and drug dealings getty nastier and nastier eventually ending up in a double crossing over a drug deal with a thrilling end. this is based on true events and is a good watch. lots of swearing probably a bit excessive in parts but ...
