Escape Plan
Not what I was expecting. I thought it would be a high action movie with lots of actions scenes given that it has both Stallone and Schwarzenegger. This wasn't the case, instead we have a very good story

The Wolverine
Is Being Immortal worth it? This is a slight tangent and almost a reboot of the Wolverine character running along side the the X-Men series. The movie is directed well enough, although there are a few

Don't fit in? I did quite like this and will watch the other two parts soon. If you think this is only a film for teenagers then you will be missing out on a very good film. It is also a reflection on

The Enforcer
Don't mess with Harry. As you would expect this film lets us see Harry (good but unorthodox) triumph over the bad guys. His ways can't of course continue so he is assigned to a desk job. This film does

Don't get old. This is now a classic movie with a mix of thrills, action, and what would have been a decent budget at the time. These days it is more obvious where the scale sets were used. The use of

Ignore the jargon, enjoy the film. If you can get past the jargon and accept that a programmer already knows how a computer works, and therefore doesn't need to the learn the new environment totally. Then

Martial Arts on display. Unlike a number of films that spend too much time building up to a martial arts displaay, this film allows Van Damme to show off his skills. These include his trademark splits

Self defense? I always find it a little curious that the writers have some one that has been highly trained in self defense accidentally killing an attacker in self defense. Whatever happened to disarmament?

The Fast and the Furious
Eighteen years ago, really. It doesn't feel like this film came out almost twenty years ago. There have been a lot of sequels, most fairly good. I do think that they lost there way with Tokyo Drift, but

Respect the car. I do usually like Jason Statham, his action scenes are done well and there is a lot of them. The plot isn't overly complicated and it is best not to examine it too closely. Simply accept

Street Kings
How much force is too much? A good cop movie, an improvement over those of the 70's in terms of writing/plot, stunts, and hence they also have bigger budgets. This of course doesn't amount to much if the

The A-Team
A decent remake. Yes I used to watch the TV series in the 80's when I could, wasn't always allowed to. I suspect that like a lot of people the promo's didn't get me excited so I never went to the cinema

Safe House
Who do you trust? Safe house is reasonable, good even, but not much beyond that. This movie relies heavily between the interaction of Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington both of whom give solid performances

Never read the comic, I do however assume that a lot of what went into the comic came across to the movie. The various creatures in the movie are done very well with attention paid to their mannerisms.
