The Wages of Fear is a lesson in how to make an excellent tension-busting action movie. Clouzot’s classic is brimming with memorable characters, suspense and testosterone.
Action
The Descent: Part 2
A pointless sequel with predictable shocks that doesn’t deliver anything new.
Law Abiding Citizen
This no-brainer from Hollywood delivers just the right amount of genuine shocks, suspense and unpredictability to make it into guilty pleasure territory.
V for Vendetta
Just because you can see its message from a mile away, don’t think this is some simple revenge/anti-government movie; a fully realized, thought-provoking viewing experience.
2012
The end can’t come soon enough with this overlong and overhyped disaster epic that all been done before – just far better.
Harry Brown
What could have been a good social commentary about what’s wrong with ‘Broken Britain’, Harry Brown comes across as too shallow and Right Wing for most modern tastes. Michael Caine is the film’s saviour with a stand out performance.
