Advantages: Jackson, dialogue, gets you thinking.
Disadvantages: Willis is a little below-par, meandering pace.

...situation whilst encountering Elijah. Unbreakable is, as with any other Shyamalan picture, a trick of the mind. It lulls you into one way of thinking, only to differ in perspective once you encounter it's twist (generally situated just before the ending). The performances on the whole, are sound; Jackson is the stand-out as the questioning Elijah, whilst Willis is amicable in the part of David, a security guard who probably wished he'd never encountered ...

Review of The Jackal (DVD)

They are all around us.

Advantages: Meaningful, thought-provoking & very emotive
Disadvantages: It is very hard to translate fantasy into reality

...(I hope this doesn't defeat the object of my review altogether!). I have seen this one a couple of times before & it is pretty well known, so most readers will probably already know the story, but my outline will be as always - hopefully not too patronising! The story Having just celebrated receiving an award recognising his achievements practising in child psychology - for all the children he has helped or 'saved' - Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) ...

Review of The Sixth Sense (Collector's Edition) (DVD)

You'll never see it coming

Advantages: Suspenseful, good twist
Disadvantages: Weak overall story

The Perfect Stranger is a 2007 thriller starring A-Listers Halle Berry and Bruce Willis. The film was mauled by the critics, something I don’t quite understand as I thought it was a thoroughly enjoyable watch but to be honest I tend to think the opposite to what the critics think, maybe I’m just awkward! The films rated 12 and runs for approximately 109 minutes. The Perfect Stranger is directed by James Foley who’s other work includes: Fear, Confidence, ...
...everything begins to unravel The Perfect Stranger does manage to pick up the pace and it all leads to a brilliant climax which I wasn’t expecting at all. Thinking about it now it actually seems kind of obvious but for me and everyone I was watching with we never saw it coming. The twist at the end is definitely worth waiting for however the reason for it maybe is a bit weak, if you’ve seen the film you’ll know what I mean. Overall I would recommend ...
