This fast paced drug related thriller just blew me away when I first saw it. Interesting subject, of course and a storytelling that keeps the viewer occupied, since it is told from three different viewpoints. Of course, there is a ton of movies that deal with this way of story-telling, so that is not really [...]

One of the few movies that has Matthew McConaughey in that I really liked. Well I guess that the story is the main reason for this. Story of lets say child abuse, murders, and a demented father, is what Matthew McConaughey told police officer after years of deliberation. Script, directing and actors are just great, [...]
This Stephen King milking movie is lets say OK. It`s better then average that`s for sure, but the story seems stretched out, maybe because this was a short story and did not have that many elements to make a full 90 minute movie. And one more thing I did not like and that`s the main [...]
While we are at Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, here`s movie that influenced them greatly. A 1965 flick filled with sex, violence and cheesy story twists. Just a random shots of hot women, yeah, that does not need reason or explanation, and yes it`s made back then in the sixties and yes the women are [...]
Very weird movie, one moment you think that it`s utter crap and the next you think that it`s okay. It rides on a wave that Tarantino, Rodriguez, Coen brothers created, so you can see a lot of motives stolen from theirs movies but still is pretty watchable. I mean Larry Bishop as the main actor [...]
Second movie from Grindhouse package, a product of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino cooperation. This time story revolves around Stuntman Mike, a killer with an unusual weapon, his “death-proof” stunt car. Rest of the characters are bunch of hot females, each with a different and strange interests and habits. Again, movie has that cool vibe, [...]

So a young boy Ron Decker (played by Edward Furlong) is sent to prison where he will get a special mentor that was supposed to help him inside. A intense and very emotional relationship between the boy [...]
Another English flick that focuses it`s story on the hooligans. This one is a little older but still very good, it`s about John, an undercover cop that after some time on the mission to disclose details about hooligans becomes one of them. The collision of two worlds and a man torn between with ties to [...]
The ultimate movie about English football hooligans, if you like the subject you might wanna check out the movie I.D. [1995] with similar motives. Danny Dyer played the part of his life as Tommy Johnson testosterone filled, ordinary fighting man, later on he did a series of documentaries about hooligans it`s called Real Football Factories. [...]
Do not let the German language put you off, this movie is awesome. Based on a true events it`s sometimes shown on collages and universities as an educational film. Several man applied for an experiment, and the experiment is that they are divided into two groups, prisoners and guards and locked up into virtual prison. [...]
If you are looking for some easy watching movie, look no further, this movie is for you. Directed almost like a music video, and with good production values it`s pretty easy to watch and follow the story. Son of the Nobel Prize winner is kidnapped, the only problem is that he does care. Lots of [...]
If you think you know Christian Bale, you don`t (except all you who have seen this excellent flick). After Equilibrium this outstanding actor started to get better roles, but for me this was that crucial role. Story revolves around Trevor Reznik, who works in metal factory and struggles with his insomnia.He finds refuge in strange [...]
I do not know why, maybe because of all the media fuzz, I expected more from this movie. Do not get me wrong, it`s still an excellent thriller, but I was expecting more from the story, I guess that wow effect. Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon will join forces with hot female scientist to solve the [...]
Who would know that a movie starring Beyoncé Knowles could be that good? Idris Elba is a successful business man, with a great job and a great marriage. But this is going to change when a dreams of deranged women become reality. Lots of suspense and ok story make decent movie, it won`t blow you [...]
This movie was a total surprise to me, I expected predictable, classic story of serial killer and instead I got a pretty decent thriller with great cast, and with that my trust in Kevin Costner. Movie is full of little twists and intelligent and well carried out scenes. Mr. Brooks is a successful business man [...]
The Fargo brothers make another masterpiece. I`m guessing that you probably heard about this movie or seen it(after all it won four Oscars), but I have to put in my reviews. Llewelyn Moss in a Texas wasteland discovers a pile of money (leftovers from a drug deal gone bad), instead of going to the police [...]
Denzel Washington mhhmmm, in another bank hold up, Dog Day Afternoon type of flick this time directed by Spike Lee. There are a lot of this movies and this one does not suck. Bank robbers, negotiators, good ending and suspense make pretty good combination. Supported by Clive Owen, Jodie Foster , Christopher Plummer and Willem [...]
Jennifer Chambers Lynch also known as the daughter of much more famous David Lynch directed this movie. After Boxing Helena I knew that she would try to escape her father’s legacy of weird and twisted movies and that exactly what she did with this one. Two Fbi detectives played by Julia Ormond and Bill Pullman [...]

Title says it all. Harvey Keitel is The Lieutenant, you will never hear his name, he is The Lieutenant you do not want to fuck with. Addicted to anything you can be addicted this man with no moral standards just obliterates every movie made with the same idea about a crooked cop. I mean there [...]
