Although I had reservations about this flick, it turned out to be good. Michael Douglas and his adversary Jesse Metcalfe showed like a good combination, sort of teacher and apprentice thing going on. Jesse Metcalfe is news reporter that suspects successful lawyer (Douglas) of tampering with evidence. In order to prove that he is guilty [...]
We continue our Undercover Cop movie theme with this little flick from 1999. It resembles Deep Cover in many ways but is still very original. Of course, you already know the plot, a cop goes undercover to infiltrate a drug selling crime gang with its boss known as the God (LL Cool J, his strong [...]
If you like police movies this movie is for you (the title says is it all). Freddy Heflin (Sylvester Stallone) is a slightly deaf and almost retarded sheriff of a small New Jersey community that mostly consist of policeman. But a corruption investigation will stir up the muddy waters in this otherwise quiet community shrouded [...]
Brilliant performance of Jeff Goldblum is just one of the great things in this flick. It presents the story of Howard Pigeon businessman situated in Europe and his attempts to kill his high maintenance wife. Clumsy and paranoid Howard is a classical representation of businessman gone mad, and if you add to that failed marriage and annoying [...]
Directed by Bill Duke that you best know from the movie Predator, Deep Cover, as its title says, is a story about a policeman who goes undercover to try to bring to justice a drug smuggling and distributing organization. Of course in a process he losses his identity and gets tempted by all the power, [...]
Another well familiar and heard a thousand times plot of a thief that plans one last heist and then retire. Cast is phenomenal, and under the direction of famous Frank Oz ( Death at a Funeral, The Stepford Wives, Bowfinger) enriched the clichéd plot. Chemistry between actors is strong, and their acting abilities are tested to the max. So [...]
J.J. Abrams (Lost, Mission: Impossible III, Forever Young) and John Dahl (You Kill Me, Rounders, Red Rock West) joined forces for this flick, and you already know it is going to be great. Three friends traveling across the country to see the girlfriend of one of them accidentally pull a prank on a trucker known only by his [...]
Trying to make a noir flick second time director/main actor Thomas Jane did manage to create a good movie. It could surely be much better, but this way it possesses some raw quality. Production values are good, although sometimes during the flick some of the scenes may seem childishly made. Story follows a newly wed [...]
Directed by famous Costa-Gavras this movie is a bit slow for a classical hostage situation flick. But that is done intentionally, because it works on different levels, focusing on one man against the media and its exploitation. Sam Baily after the loss of his job takes everyone in his former workplace as hostages. One of them happens [...]
Another hostage situation movie, this time directed by Kevin Spacey. Of course, Dog Day Afternoon is the mother-load of all hostage flicks, but if you like that cramped feeling and the constant suspense you might wanna check out this one. Kevin Spacey appeared also in similar movie called The Negotiator, this time as an actor. [...]
You already know that this movie is going to be okay when you see the cast. Directed by James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross) it`s basically a crime flick that tells the story of Jake Vig, a smooth man of crime that is about to pull the biggest con of his life. Risking everything with revenge [...]
With such beautiful locations and actors this movie is a real eye candy. I will not say much about the story except that a newly wed couple goes to the Hawaii on their honey moon that turns out to be a right nightmare. This is a classical suspense thriller with some awesome performances especially from [...]
This thriller is about to get a sequel, so you better be prepared when it comes out. In Boston, an Irish stronghold, two brothers accidentally shot few mobsters, they confessed and were released from prison. Later celebrated as heroes, they decide to take the justice to their own hands and to shoot the remaining criminals. [...]
When you see that Anthony Hopkins plays in some movie then you know that that movie is good (did someone say Slipstream), and especially when you see the supporting cast that consist of Cuba Gooding Jr. and Donald Sutherland. Ethan Powell traveled to Africa to study gorillas, an in that period he got way to close [...]
Another movie perfect for Sunday viewing, but I hope that you have eaten before the flick because it`s about a disease. What a cast, not to name names, you can see them below, but his movie really gathered a great group of committed and convincing actors that made it that much better. A strange disease [...]
Orphan is another movie that exploits the premise of a creepy kid. From The Omen, this type of character seems to be an endless inspiration to the script writers. I can think of a few movies with almost the same story but first that comes to mind is a movie called Godsend with Robert De [...]
From the beginning of this movie I was hooked. Opening with 99 Problems by Jay-Z, this thriller was great. John Travolta in one of his best roles, i think that the fact that he is a scientologist contributed to his performance, and Denzel Washington was just Denzel Washington. Directed by Tony Scott (Ridley Scott`s brother) who also [...]
This British movie used the classical American premise of driving, trucks and bad things happening on a highway. The young couple in relationship problems witnessed a naked girl in the back of the white truck. She is chained down and obviously kidnapped, and the question is what to do. Although the production did not have [...]
Here`s another movie that deals with serial killers. This one is based on a life of one of the most perverse and sick serial killers that ever lived. Of course, we are talking about Albert Fish. The facts that he was an elderly man, and that he committed these atrocious acts in the 1920s are [...]
