A standard conspiracy thriller that looks great but doesn’t really deliver on entertainment value. Gary McKendry does succeed in making watching Killer Elite feel just like stepping back in time to Britain in the grim 1980s though.
Action
Abduction
Twilight heart-throb Taylor Lautner’s breakout role is poorly acted and directed and it’s likely to be showing on the Disney channel pretty soon.
Cowboys and Aliens
Ultimately soulless and devoid of any of the laughs that could have saved it, Cowboys and Aliens has an interesting idea but is poorly executed by Favreau. Didn’t make me Yee-ha once – so disappointed.
Blood Diamond
An African adventure with a heart and a questionable accent. Definitely, more fun and less depressing than watching an informercial, bru.
Drive
An above average B-Movie with an Eighties feel that’s driven by good Direction from Nicolas Winding Refn.
Taken
I was pretty taken aback by how poor this monotonous thriller is. Best used as a way to scare your kids into not travelling and staying at home.
