Jet Li?s best Hollywood movie yet
Yep, that including Cradle 2 the Grave… The fights in this movie are awesome, specially the Li vs Li one. Story-wise, the movie have a few plot-holes, but is a science-fiction movie as well so i thinks that is forgivable. I recommend The One for all the Jet-Li fans and the action movies fans as well. BTW the music rocks!

“The Negotiator” Movie Review
“The Negotiator” Plot Summary
In a desperate attempt to prove his innocence, a skilled police negotiator accused of corruption and murder takes hostages in a government office to gain the time he needs to find the truth. add synopsis
Exciting procedural thriller
An above average procedural which cashes the potential of Kevin Spacey – and the internal corruption drama of his recent LA Confidential. Hot shot negotiator Danny Roman’s been set up and, in the leave-your-common-sense-at-the-door central act of the film, takes over an entire building and will only deal with the awkward outsider Chris Sabian to negotiate the situation
This is a perfectly cast film. Spacey and Jackson are fine actors and this is really a conflagrated two-hander which requires Jackson to be an action hero occasionally. That’s exactly how it plays out, with Sabian/Spacey’s suspicions being aroused as the rules of negotiation are continually undermined and subverted. The well-executed action in the office block recalls the best bits of Die Hard. 7/10

“Lethal Weapon 2″ Plot Summary
Riggs and Murtaugh are on the trail of South African diplomats who are using their immunity to engage in criminal activities.
The adventure continues
The adventure continues with Lethal Weapon 2. All the great characters are back and with some new ones, as well. Joe Pesci enters the Lethal Weapon-series as the annoying and witty Leo Getz(ok ok ok ok?) Riggs and Murtaugh must fight against a South-African diplomat, who`s a big drugdealer. The classic mixture of action and comedy is also to be found here. I have never seen another series of movies (except Die Hard), where all the chapters are just as great as the original film. 9/10

“Total Recall” Movie Review
“Total Recall” Plot Summary
When a man goes for virtual vacation memories of the planet Mars, an unexpected and harrowing series of events forces him to go to the planet for real, or does he?
One of Arnie’s genuine best performances ever.
I remember when I was about 12 years old I used to watch this movie a lot and it had a strange effect on me because it is so bizarre and so violent, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away. Also, that woman with three boobs was enough for me to sit through the rest of the movie just to see again!It takes place in a dismal future where colonies have long since arisen and decayed on other planets and mutations are as rampant as corruption. Schwarzenegger plays a construction worker named Douglas Quaid who has recurring dreams about a trip to Mars and a mysterious brunette there. His hottie wife (Sharon Stone) is unimpressed by this brunette who keeps turning up in her husband’s dreams, but mostly he just can’t get over this strange need to go to Mars. I have to say, however, that based on his dream, which we see at the beginning of the movie in which he falls down a hill and breaks his face mask and then his eyes pop out of his head, doesn’t exactly seem like the kind of thing that would make me want to go to that place, but no matter. The movie really gets going as soon as Quaid goes to a company called Rekall that sells implanted memories, so basically you can travel anywhere you want to go in the world and be anyone you want. There’s no danger because you never leave the Rekall offices, but there’s always the chance of an accidental lobotomy. Almost immediately after hooking him up to their machines, he wakes up a completely different person, convinced that he is no longer a happily married construction worker but a secret agent on the run from an evil dictator of Mars named Cohaagen. At this point all hell breaks loose and the movie gets really good. It’s a little confusing, but for the thickness of the plot it’s amazing how well presented it is. Quaid is suddenly unsure who he really is, and when at one point he is receiving instructions from his other self, the self on the other side of the Rekall implantation, about how to remove a tracking device from his nose (in one of the movie’s most memorable moments), it doesn’t make things any easier for him to understand. There are tons of great characters, impressive sets, amazing special effects and brilliant performances despite the occasional cheese moment (such as that bizarre mutant at the end chanting ‘Open your miiiiiind..’ over and over). Read Volume 2 of my 50 Amazing Movie Facts on Hollywire and you’ll know what I really mean. The movie has the same brutal feeling as RoboCop, and director Paul Verhoeven has really shown that he knows how to do action sci-fi. This is definitely one of the genre’s best!
