Bruce McGill
Reviews Featuring Bruce McGill
This is a decent action film that provides good solid entertainment plus a great big bomb explosion, but it doesnt have the depth of either its predecessors or the Clancy novels.
Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde
You can put as much pink fluff and perfume on a pile of doggy doo as you like. Its still a pile of doggy doo.
Just when the confidence trick film seemed to have breathed its last, Ridley Scott has come along and given it new life by expanding its horizons. Not just a pretty scam (although it certainly is that), but also a redemptive drama whose deeply flawed central character is allowed to develop and change. Not a world changer, but far more intelligent and moving than 'Gladiator'.
With a perfect cast and multi-layered plot, it rattles along like a runaway train - a thrilling enough ride, even if it must come crashing at the end.
Even Cruises dodgy barnet cant take away from the fact that this is the best thriller of 2004.
Performances go a long way to raise this presidential portrait up into something entertaining, but theres not really anything all that memorable except some great performances by James Brolin, Richard Dreyfuss, and James Cromwell.
This no-brainer from Hollywood delivers just the right amount of genuine shocks, suspense and unpredictability to make it into guilty pleasure territory.
