“Wrestler” Movie Review

“Wrestler” Plot Summary

A faded professional wrestler must retire, but finds his quest for a new life outside the ring a dispiriting struggle.

Amazing

I had no doubt in my mind that this movie was going to be great. I watched it a couple weeks back, and my god..It’s a work of art, I tell you.

I have never really seen many films with Mickey Rourke, that I remember. I had never really paid any attention to him, until now. He is an amazingly gifted actor. I cannot see anyone else being as right for that part, as he was.

I will be watching this movie again and again. Even if you’re not a wrestling fan, it doesn’t matter..It’s an amazingly, well done movie.

Go see it! 10/10

“Man on Fire” Movie Review

“Man on Fire” Plot Summary

In Mexico City, a former assassin swears vengeance on those who committed an unspeakable act against the family he was hired to protect.

Amazing, absolutely AMAZING

This movie blew me away; however not the first time I saw it, I had to watch it twice to truly appreciate the message and the power of this film. Maybe I wasn’t fully paying attention or maybe I was too young at the time but I am so glad that I watched it again

If ever there was perfect casting for a motion picture then this would be it! Denzel Washington is unbelievably believable, (then again when is he not believable) and even though Christopher Walken’s part is small in this you don’t forget him as he helps to develop the story and make Washington’s character even more electrifying. Also the supporting cast is more than solid with Marc Anthony and Radha Mitchell putting in very strong performances, with Mickey Rourke also worth a mention. However, this is all eclipsed by the youngest member of the cast, Dakota Fanning, who is indescribable as Pita. The chemistry between Washington ans Fanning shines off the screen and you laugh when they laugh, and cry when they cry

The direction is expertly done, but with such films as ‘Enemy of the State’ and ‘Crimson Tide’ perfection is what should be expected from a director like Tony Scott. There are scenes around 2-5 mins long with no dialogue and just Denzel Washington on screen that are captivating; a testament to the skills of Scott and Washington, which come together with brilliant results

It might not be everyone’s cup of tea with vivid violence and quite long at 146 mins, but in my opinion it has to have these things to make it the masterpiece that it is. If you like a film that really paints the picture before ripping it up in your face with twists and turns that will leave you with your jaw on the floor then this is the film for you. This film has so much to it that if I said anymore I would probably end up spoiling parts of it for you

This is one of the few films that has brought a tear to my eye and that was because you care so much for the characters. I think this film has been highly underrated but hopefully it will get recognised for its heart and for the excellence that oozes from the screen on every level.

    “Once Upon a Time in Mexico” Movie Review

    “Once Upon a Time in Mexico” Plot Summary

    Hitman “El Mariachi” becomes involved in international espionage involving a psychotic CIA agent and a corrupt Mexican general.

    Enjoyable

    Once Upon a Time is overall a pretty enjoyable movie. Despite its bizarre randomness, action fans will love the fighting scenes and gun play. Not to mention the characters who were actually somewhat interesting and not stolen, which has got to be a first when it comes to the action genre. I can honestly say that I enjoyed all of the characters, even that stupid Taco Bell type dog that the American carried around and put a wiretap on. I really don’t have too many complaints about the movie, and thought it was interesting throughout

    El was a crazy, crazy man. If cornered by a massive army, he would just whip out his guitar and fire off grenades and laser beams taking everyone out, saving his guitar until the end. He would then throw it at General Marquez, causing a 1 Megaton nuclear warhead to go off right behind him as he makes his escape into a hand-made shelter from his Mexican buddies.7.5 / 10

    “Sin City” Movie Review

    “Sin City” Plot Summary

    A film that explores the dark and miserable town Basin City and tells the story of three different people, all caught up in the violent corruption of the city.

    Excellent movie

    The movie is really great. Especially the thing about colors. The movie is black and white but somethings like the red dress, blue eyes of Alexis Bledel are colored, which i find very original. Also i realized that on the dancing scene in which Jessica Alba and Bruce Wills meet at the bar, the whole movie becomes colored. Even the least important roles are taken by very famous actors and actresses and the acting is very solid throughout the movie. When you combine all these with frank miller’s excellent scenario, one of the best movies ever is the result. I think that this movie deserves a higher rank in the top250 movies list.

    “Killshot” Movie Review

    “Killshot” Plot Summary

    Beautiful Carmen Colson and her ironworker husband Wayne are placed in the Federal Witness Protection program after witnessing an “incident”. Thinking they are at last safe, they are targeted by an experienced hit man and a psychopathic young upstart killer. The ensuing struggle will test Carmen to the limit. add synopsis

    One for Leonard fans

    One of the best things about Elmore Leonard is that he is willing to plumb the depths of criminals’ stupidity. They are not, for the most part, very bright. Just think of the stupid criminals in Out of Sight and how sadly one of them ended his days

    One review here said, c’mon, nobody can be that stupid. But that’s really the beauty of it. They can be. So it’s on display again here, starting with the Hal Holbrook character and his son-in-law. And the Mickey Rourke character, Blackbird, is not immune to this condition

    So the humor is not slapstick, it’s a deeply ironic and cynical view of the underworld. This is not a great film, but it won’t disappoint Leonard fans. Diane Lane fans will also be happy, because she has a fair amount of screen time and some great wardrobe

    Not sure whether this was filmed before or after Wrestler, but in any case Rourke or his agent are doing a good job in picking the right roles for his comeback. He was perfect for this.
