A real knockout. A cut above the rest. Punching above it’s weight. Has a fighting chance at the Oscars. In summary, it’s pretty good.
Reviews
The Mechanic
A typical Jason Statham vehicle that delivers on action, plot and, most importantly, entertainment. Not a classic but a decent watch nonetheless.
La Haine
A quality character driven exploration of class and race divisions in a Parisian ‘ghetto’ with three excellent lead performances and an interesting story. Undoubtedly, the best thing to come out of France since Emmanuelle.
Black Swan
Ballet but not as you know it, this cross between The Wrestler and Showgirls falls just short of greatness.
The Green Hornet
Crossing The Green Hornet with Michael Gondry and Seth Rogen is exactly what you would get if you crossed a real hornet with the windscreen of a truck. A mess.
Sunshine
Looks and sounds fabulous but gets a little bit silly in the end.
