Face/Off was always a strange film, the concept itself is ridiculous and was always hard to swallow. The reason it worked (at the time) was due to the performances by the two leads: John Travolta and Nicolas Cage...[more]...

Now everyone tends to agree that Die Hard is the best action movie ever made, however I think that it may just be beaten by T2. This is quite frankly a flawless masterpiece of action cinema...[more]...

Man, I miss movies like this. Midnight Run stars Robert DeNiro as a bounty hunter who tries to bring in Charles Grodin's mob accountant.

DeNiro is great as a badass but this is hardly a stretch, we always new he was hard as nails, but this is pure 80's action gold without being cheesy.

The film also stars the always great Joe Pantoliano, nobody quite shouts the way he does. I especially loved Yaphet Koto as the cigarette stealing FBI agent Alonso.

The script is top notch with DeNiro hurling insults at Grodin every two seconds. If you're offended by bad language then you'd best avoid it and go watch Twilight instead, Nancy boy!

I knew I'd love the movie as soon as the music started with the electric guitar score by Danny Elfman. As we all know, an action movie ain't shit if it doesn't have an electric guitar in the soundtrack.

Flaws? It is a bit too long, could probably have trimmed 10-15 minutes off the runtime, but hardly a major gripe.

Overall a classic of the buddy genre and up there with Lethal Weapon as one of the very best. Highly recommended.

In Time is such a cool and different idea, at first I didn't want to see it due it it starring Justin Timberlake and that chick who looks like an alien (Amanda Seyfried), however I gotta say it was pretty cool.

It was nice to see something that isn't a remake or comic book movie. It had some original scenes and dare I say it, but Justin did a great job. He's hardly a badass (that's for sure) but he's a good actor and I think In Time is one of the better films I've seen lately.

I always like films set in a Dystopian future and this had some interesting ideas and plays with the dream of immortality rather nicely. Craig Armstrong provides a good score as always and the script was pretty decent, if overall rather forgettable.

Despite having the hugest eyes in the entire world Amanda Seyfried was great in it, she was sexy and sympathetic. The always brilliant Cillian Murphy was the bad guy but I think they could have done more with him. Making him a bit more three dimensional would have been a good start, but then he IS the bad guy.

Overall a decent sci-fi actioner with a really interesting concept, shame it isn't a bit more memorable though.

Haywire has had a lot of mixed reviews, I think you either hate it or love it. Personally, I LOVED it!
I am officially in love with Gina, my future bride (sorry Irina). This girl's got mad skills yo, etc. The fight scenes were visceral and brutal, the camera actually stayed still so you could see and feel every punch/kick.
Ewan MacGregor was a great baddie and there were plenty of twists n' turns to keep it interesting.
I do understand why people wouldn't like it as the pacing is a bit all over the place, but isn't that the point? That's why it's called "Haywire."
It has one of the coolest scores I've heard in a long time which is very similar to Ocean's 11.
Soderbergh expertly directs this film with some amazing camera work and builds up real tension, especially the whole scene with Magneto.
Any film with Michael Douglas and Antonio Banderas already has "WIN" written all over it. Banderas has the coolest voice in the entire world and is generally just cool. Douglas makes any film worth watching as well.
The star of the show though is Carano who is not only beautiful but badass as well. Remind me never to spill her pint.
Overall a good solid R rated action thriller thingy and highly recommended if you're looking for something a little different.
