An overly long missed opportunity that could have done a much better job at telling us a story and instead opted to skirt around all the stuff that made the book dark and thrilling.

Enjoyable but silly in places, The International never quite gets away from the fact that it’s about the banking industry and yet still manages to entertain sufficiently to make watching it worthwhile.

Cage delivers a good performance in this initially entertaining sci-fi suspense and the supporting cast is equally good, however the bizarre twist near the end leaves you wondering why you watched it in the first place.

Despite having a well trodden plot 16 Blocks delivers an exciting and entertaining 118 minutes filled with wise cracks, solid dialogue and decent performances.

I don’t turn off many films before getting to the end, but Punisher: War Zone’s dialog and action was so dire and had so few redeeming features that I gave up before the end, judge it on that basis.

Decent production values, reasonable special effects and a better than average first half make Outlander worth watching despite being let down by the last 30 minutes.

Transformers delivers an engaging movie experience with thrills, spills and robot explosions, no more than you would expect but it hits the spot if that’s what you wanted.

Salvation manages to pull the franchise out of the gutter with a good-enough performance supported mostly by the action and special effects.

Compelling, intriguing and more than worth the effort, Twelve Monkey’s really defies genre selection and really has to be experienced.

A better than average sci-fi action movie that presents an interesting premise and some impressive gun fights, but make sure you bring heavy amounts of suspension of disbelief, you’ll need them.

Hard to define, impossible to explain, The Blues Brothers is a cult classic that you have to watch to appreciate.

A classic movie which is as watchable today as it was in 1987, Lethal Weapon defines the buddy-cop action-comedy genre and is still top of the class over 20 years on.

Considering the source material and what was asked of the actors, I found Resident Evil to be watchable and enjoyable despite the many flaws, in a world of horrific game-to-movie conversions Resident Evil keeps it’s head just above the sludge.

Beyond Thunderdome is the weakest of the three Max movies but is still worth watching, too many cute moments and forced situations decrease the impact of the otherwise engaging story.

Another excellent outing for Mad Max this time showing us the complete breakdown of order and the power of oil; with an increase in the comic element providing some light relief, Mad Max 2 is easier viewing than the first movie but no less entertaining.

Mad Max holds up despite being 30 years old, presenting a gripping and gritty view of the near future and spawning a generation of look-alike films.

A well produced, engaging sci-fi actioner with some excellent performances and only a few marginally annoying elements which let it down.

Hellboy is an entertaining and engaging action fantasy film with stunning visuals and only a few minor flaws.

A lackluster and disappointing movie which feels more like a collection of one-off action sequences than a real story.

A fast paced, well executed action sci-fi flick, with emphasis on the -fi and the characters, this franchise reboot gets it right in so many ways.
