Punisher War Zone is the best Punisher movie to date. It blows the other 2 to shreads. It makes up for both of the other ones by showing what the Punisher is really made of. This is not a sequel just like the 04 Punisher wasnt to the 89 one. Its a whole new breed of Punisher movie that takes violence to a different level. Frank Castle (Ray Stevenson) is still suffering from his families death & is still seeking vengence on the people who are invovled with their murder. It starts off where a mob family who are having a meeting in a mansion, then all heck breaks loose as the Punisher comes in & disrupts them by torturing the whole crime family in some of the most brutal ways that he knows how. From there, Frank finds out that one of the crime family escapes whos name is Billy Russoti (Dominic West) & continues his mission seeking him out. Frank finds out where Billy is located at & wipes out his crew in more brutal ways. Finally, Frank finds Billy & eliminates him or so he thought. It just so happens Billy survived his torment that crushed his muscles in his face. Now Billy is now called Jigsaw. Jigsaw finds out about his long lost brother Looney Bin Jim (Doug Hunchinson) that is being held in a psychiatric penitentiary & frees him to join him & his crew. As Frank is dealing with matters in his own hands, Jigsaw wants revenge by getting back Castle for what he did to him. Jigsaw then decides to go on the street with his brother & gather some mob families around to take out Castle. Now Castle has to come face to face with his worst enemy, Jigsaw & his army that he has recruited in the biggest battle to the death. Punisher War Zone is the best movie i've seen all year. I enjoyed the heck out of it. It was by far more darker & entertaining than the last 2. It has a ton of over top action/gore that never slows down till the very end. It is a very fast paced movie with a great story & pretty good actors like the brillant Ray Stevenson who had a outstanding performance as the Punisher. He is one bad killing machine that knows exactly how to get the job done by punishing everyone in sight. Dominic West was another great actor in this movie who played the psychotic Jigsaw. Doug Huchinson that was Looney Bin jim played a great insain villian that was just crazy as he can be. Wayne Knight was the last one who I thought did a good job as Microchip who supplies everything for the Punisher. Julie Benz played her character well. Colin Salmon kinda went over the edge with his acting skills but he was still believable. Overall, this movie makes u want more from the Punisher & thats exactly what u get throughout. So far i think this is the best superhero comic book movie to be released. It brought the comic books to life by releasing everything that were in them. I recommend this movie for Punisher & action fans. Oh if u cant handle violence dont watch this movie because this is what this movie is all about. For the ones that can dig it, it has enough for u to cheer for. Punisher War Zone is an awesome brutality action packed movie. This is a new start for a great franchise for the Punisher. Go see it & have fun watching it. u will defenitly love the crap out of it, 5 stars.

Quantum of Solace is a great bond movie. It was not better than Casino Royale but very close. If they just had a better story it would probably be the same as the 1st one. It did have the most action u'll ever see in a bond film for sure. The action scenes were very strong & long. They included gunfights, fighting, car chase, boat chase & plane chase all in one movie. They were all basically put together throughout the movie. Some of the action scenes reminded me from the bourne films. the acting was top notch from Daniel Craig. He played bond well just like he always does. Olga Kurylenko played her role well too. I think she's probably the best bond girl ever. She is so fine to watch in the movie. You just have to love her & her sexy accent. Everyone else i didn't really care for. They still did good for a bond film though. There was just something I didn't like about the movie & that was James Bond never said his line by introducing hisself saying "Bond James Bond." That just really upset me there because he always uses that line. The ending kinda upset me too but still tells ya that there's going to be a sequel which i'm really looking forward to. I defenitly got my price of admisson watching this movie. I didn't really have high expectations about this movie but when it was over I was very satisfied & glad I went to see it. Overall i recommend this for all bond & action fans. It's a fun fasted paced full action-packed bond film that I'm sure everyone will enjoy. 4 1/2 stars.

body of lies was a highly entertaining edge of ur seat thrill ride. i didnt really know how this movie was going to turn out but in the end i thought it was great. leo & crowe were amazing in this movie. they bring their characters to life. i just love the chemistry between the 2 of them. they just made it so enjoyable to watch. i thought everything bout this movie was great except the plot. i got a litt confused through the movie where everything was going but it was still good. the action is nonstop when its shown. there r only like 2 major action scenes that featured shootouts & chases. just dont go expecting a full throttle action movie. its more of a fast paced political drama more than anything. there is kinda of a nasty torture scene in this movie that is sort of difficult to watch when u see it. the film never got boring for one sec. it kept my attention from start to finish. u might feel disappointing with the ending just like i was but it still left me satisfied. overall i say this movie is one of leo & crowes best. best thriller & performances that i've seen in a long time. its just an amazing picture, 4 stars.

Max Payne is a very cool revenge action flick based on video game about a cop (Mark Wahlberg) who is working on a cold case bout his families murder. Out for revenge, Max must search through the streets of New York City looking for clues that revolves around the murder of his family. During Max's investigation, he runs into a russian gangster named Mona Sax (Mila Kunis) who is also out for vengence for the death of her sister, Natasha (Olga Kurylenko). Now Max & Mona are on a quest to find & hunt down the ones who connect with the loss of their loved ones in a battle to the death.
I didnt really know how this movie was going to turn out but when i was finished watching it, I came out satified. I was so amazed how everything turned out in this movie. As i was watching the first half of the movie, I thought it started off a little slow but then began to pick up towards the 2nd half which made the movie good all together. The story thats in this movie is so much different than the one that is in the game but I still liked it anyway. I liked the way the director (John Moore) of this movie changed the script & made it his own. John made this addaptation interesting & one to follow well. The movie did stay true to the game by having very dark atmospheric scenery in the background which I was very impressed with. It had alot of nonstop action including gun battles & slow motion sequences when they were shown. I just wish this one had more shooting slo-mo sequences like the game did which was very disppointing. The visual effects during the action scenes were so awesome to watch. They were very loud & noisy. It didnt have action throughout but it had enough to keep you on the edge of your seat that were really intense. I guess thats why the director didn't want anymore than what was in this movie because they were so violent for a PG-13 rating. It was a very hard PG-13 with brutal violence, little amount of blood & brief strong language. The acting was fantastic from almost everyone. Mark Wahlberg did an oustanding job as max payne busting peoples heads & taking them out with heavy automatic weapons. Mila Kunis delieverd good as Mona Sax with a big machine gun by her side. Even though she had a small part, I thought she was one of the strongest actors in this movie who I was very suprised with. I was very impressed with Ludacris's acting as Jim Bravara. I thought he jumped Max's butt pretty good as the Internal Affairs Detective. He is probably one of the few rappers who has transferred into a good actor. Everyone else was decent but not as good as those three were. By the way, if you watch this movie, be sure to stay after the credits. Their is an alternate ending. I'm not going to spoil it for ya. Your just going to have to see it for yourself. Overall this movie is the best video game movie to date I think. Hoping the second one they make is even better. Not bad for the first Max Payne. I just hope the second one provides more action than story so it will be more true to the game & fans can enjoy it even more. I recommend this movie for hardcore Max Payne & action fans. You will definitely get your money's worth watching it if thats what you are. Max Payne is a very hardcore action/mystery with plenty of surprises & entertainment.
"There's an army of bodies under this river, people who ran out of time, out of friends. I could feel the dead down there, reaching up to welcome me as one of their own. It was an easy mistake to make."

I really enjoyed the heck out of Death race. It opens up with a action-packed scene that never lets up till the very end. It was full with lot & lots of car chases, explosions, & gunfights. I very much like the story as well. I thought it had a good plot for the movie. It was better than I was expecting it to be. When I bought the Unrated DVD, I was even more saisfied with the movie having more action in it.
Logo Designer
So who ever hasnt seen this movie yet, go & get yourself a copy of it on DVD or Bluray. Its defenitly worth buying & seeing over & over again. It's one movie that i'll always treasure in my DVD collection. yeah, its that great. Death Race still the best action movie of 2008. Two very big thumbs up!!!

Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is fun sequel to action blockbuster franchise. This time Rick (Brendan Frasier), Eve, (Maria Bello) Jonathan,(John Hannah) & Alex (Luke Ford) are back in danger when Rick son Alex uncovers a new Mummy aka the Dragon Emperor (Jet Li) & brings him to life. From Chinatown to the dessert, the O'Connell's face the Dragon Emperor & his army in a battle to save the world once again. This Mummy I think is the best in the Mummy series because it has more action/adventure in it. There are daring escapes, chases, & gunfights throughout. Everyone did exceptionally well with their performance as always. I was really suprised with Maria Bello's performance as Eve. She sounds just like the other actress, Rachel Wiez. Maria really impressed me on that. Thought she was going to fail but she succeeded. Overall, this is a good entry. If you love the other Mummy movies you will defenitly love this one. Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is a heart pounding rollercoaster ride. 4 stars

Batman/Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) is back & better than ever in The Dark Knight. This time Batman has to face his true & worst enemy of all time, the Joker (Heath Ledger). Batman doesn't know what he's in for this time around. The Joker causes more chaos for Batman than any villain has before. The only way that the Joker will stop causing destruction for Gotham City is getting his hands on the mayor of Gotham City Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). Now, Batman has to do what he does best & that is using his high tech skills & gadgets to take down the Joker & sabotage his evil plan.
The Dark Knight is truely an amazing picture. It was enjoyable & entertaining throughtout. It holds your attention till the very end. Everyone lights up on screen. My favorite Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, & Aaron Eckhart who did a super b job with their roles.
Christian Bale was at the top of his game. He is the biggest A-list actor right now & seems to live on as one. Everytime he appears on screen I get so excited to see what he's made of. Christian still proves that he's one of the biggest actors in history that still lives on today.
No words can descibe how amazing Heath Ledger was as the Joker. Heath was just out of this world showing us that he can be another person without showing his real face. I thought it was his best performance ever. He played the Joker full of laughs with powerful acting. I thought he stole the movie. I mean he's basically what everyone wanted to see this movie in the first place. Even though, I was never into watching Heath on screen this movie changed my mind on that. It was so sad of the tragic death about him but he will always be rememberd as one of the well gifted actors ever. Heath Ledger will never be forgotten. This movie just made him the biggest star of our time. Two very big thumbs up for him portraying as the Joker.
Aaron Eckhart was the next best one out of the bunch. When he sets his mind on something, he shows the audience, exactly waht he can do with it. He's probably the few with talented acting skills thats come long way in our lifetime. Aaron was vicious criminal as Two-Face. Man, he looked so dark & played a good villian half of the time. Aaron needs to keep starring in more roles because I would like to see what he takes on next. Aaron's on his way to the top & beyond.
Maggie Gyllenheal is the last that I thought stood out. Maggie has turned into a great actress & gorgeous woman throughout the years. She looks better & better as she's on screen. She sure knows how to turn someone on by her wonderful personality & beauty. Hope to see her take on more roles in the future.
This film had plenty of action, drama, & flat out suspense which makes it worth watching over & over again, its that great yall. So who ever hasn't seen this movie, go & grab you a copy on DVD or Bluray. i'm sure yall all will have a great time watching just as I did. Its defenitly a masterpiece with great acting & writing. So see it & enjoy, you wont regret it. The Dark Knight is the best movie of 2008 & batman yet..
Harvey Dent: You either die a hero or live enough to see youeself become the villian.

Wanted is an nonstop action/scifi/thriller thats about a accountant named Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) who hasn't always been living an ordinary life. Nothing is very special about him that he's aware of. He goes through stress related breakdowns. One night that all changes when a stranger named Fox (Angelina Jolie) embarks upon Wesley telling him that his father has been murdered. Wesley doesn't understand what Fox is telling him but when an assassin confronts the two of them, Wesley begins to relaize that Fox's isn't putting him on.
Later on, after Fox & Wesley escape from the assassin, Wesley meets a man named Sloan (Morgan Freeman) from a secret organization called the Fraternity. Sloan starts telling Wesley that his father worked for the Fraternity as an assassin. After Sloan tells Wesley that, Sloan wants to test Wesley his ability skills. Wesley passes but still doesn't believe what Sloan & Fox is telling him.
The Next day at work, Wesley snaps & gets sick of everyones crap by taking matters in his own hands that he didn't think would ever be possible. Wesley goes back to the Fraternity & wants to be the man his father was by getting trained through his father's trials. As Wesley is trying tin find out who he is, Sloan wants Wesley to avenge his father by gunning down the assassin who was responsible for his father's death whose name is Cross (Thomas Kretshmann).
After Wesley gets done training, he starts hunting down Cross & by using his father's super killing skills that requires curving & bending bullets in the most visualizing ways by being the best assassin ever.
Wanted is a entertainng ride from begining till end. It has alot good effects during the action scenes. The action in this movie is breathtaking. Theirs alot of gunfights throughout most of the movie that keeps you satisfied. This defenitly deserved the R-rating for sure because of all the bloody violence & language it had in it. The suspense was kind of predictable & then again it wasn't. It still shocks & suprises you though. The acting from the cast dida good job. James McAvoy who was Wesley shows off his english accent thats very impressive & fun to watch. James also makes a good action hero & comedian. Hope to see him in more movies like this one. Morgan Freeman who played Sloan was amazing as he always is. He shines up the movie like a new penny. Morgan is a well gifted actor. Then we have the sexy Angelina Jolie who was Fox. Man, she's so easy on the eyes. I thought this was one of her best performances. She proves that she still has what it takes to be an actress an action star. Common was good for his junior movie even though he didn't have many lines. I think he'll be big in the acting business one day. Everyone did a good job by making this movie succeed as an action movie. Overall, I did enjoy Wanted for what it was & can't wait for the sequel. Wanted is loaded with action that entertains & keeps you guessing. 3 1/2 stars

Will Smith is Hancock, a superhero thats just laid back getting drunk till the public needs him. When the public calls for help, Hancock comes to their rescue but not in way they want him too. Hancock doesn't understand why their not grateful for saving their lives. That same day, Hancock comes to rescue a guy whose in Public Relations named Rafe (Jason Bateman) who is very thankful that Hancock came when he did. From there, Rafe invites Hancock into his life by sharing everything that he has with him including his lovely wife Mary (Charlize Theron) & their son, Aaron (Jae Head). As Hancock is with Rafe & his family, Rafe decides that he wants to help Hancock by putting him back on top. The only way that Hancock can do that, is by going away & see if the people miss him. One day, things go real bad where the public need Hancock's help once again. Hancock comes but not like as he was before but with an actual superhero suit which makes him an icon to the world.
Hancock is a very good action/comedy/drama. Hancock is not an ordinary superhero movie where its just action but with a story that keeps you interested & having fun with. It has its up & downs on things but good nonetheless. It's set on superb class entertainment all the way. From the start your in on the action & as it goes on it keeps you on edge of your seat suspense. There are twists that you don't see coming that were very shocking when witnessing. This film is really hillarious with alot of suggestive crude that may not be suitable for younger viewers. Their is also some foul language that was little too much for a PG-13 like using the F-Word twice. Hancock is one of Will Smith's best & finest performances since I Am Legend. Even though this movie doesn't really relie on acting, I was very surprised how good it was. Charlize Theron was really good with her part playing a sexy stunning wife. Jason Bateman who I'm not really familiar with was good as well who was trying to help Will get make on his feet with things. Whoever hasn't seen this movie. You don't know what your missing. Do yourselves a favor & see this fun enjoyable film. Hancock is an entertaining action-packed piece of cinema that will engage viewers with a good story along with a fun expereince watching Will take on a hero that will inspire..

Meanwhile, an elite team led by a surviving soldier named Eaden (Rhona Mitra) who goes on assignment to recover a cure that will save humanity.

Now, Eaden & her squad must fight against Sole & his gang to stay alive & find the cure before Doomsday comes. I saw Doomsday not knowing what to expect from it. Man was I blown away by how how good this movie turned out. This movie had a whole lot of action, violence & gore in it. It was one the most entertaining movies that I've seen, its that good. Warning, if you cant handle the violence thats in this movie, then you wont enjoy this movie because thats all it really has in it. Also as I was watching it, I noticed it was like Mad Max style which was a cool thing because those movies are awesome and this movie seemed like a remake of it. So that made it even more awesome to watch. Mad Max with a girl as the hero played by Rhona Mitra. She was so fun to watch in this one. Rhona shows what it takes to be a big actress & action star. In the end, this movie was awesome filled with spectacular violent action scenes from the start. For all you that endure action/horror you'll love this flick. Doomsday is a movie to die for thats full of hardcore action thats filled with mindblowing entertainment. 3 1/2 stars

I just saw Street Kings & man I have to tell you that this was the greatest cop movie I have ever seen. I was just so amazed of how the acting turned out from all these actors. I though this was such a great movie with a great supporting cast & plot to go along with it. I wasnt bored one time while watching Street Kings. I was glued to my seat from start to finish. I couldnt take my eyes off the screen once. It hold your attention & keep you entertained throughout till the exciting conclusion. It had so many twists & turns that you dont see coming what makes this movie even greater. The Departed was great but Street Kings was amazing. So if you like movies that have a great story, suspense & action to go along with it. Go and see this you wont regret paying for your ticket. This movie is oscar worthy I think & it should be because of how amazing it is with really great actors. 5 stars

Hitman is based on the best selling action videogame about a hitman assassin known as Agent 47 (Timothy Olyphant) who finds out that he's been betrayed by his own company who wants him dead. Agent 47 is also being hunted by an Interpol agent (Dougray Scott) who wants to bring him in. Now Agent 47 must clear his name by doing whatever it takes to get his revenge. As Agent 47 is being hunted, he hooks up with a russian named Nadia (Olga Kurylenko) who helps him along the way with his mission. The Hitman will make sure that the evil cooperation & whoever else was in on wanting him dead get what they deserve as he uses his highly trained assasination skills against them.
Hitman was a great wall to wall action movie. I loved the gunfights & explosions that were in it. They were nonstop & didn't let up for a second. They picked a good actor to play the part as the Hitman. If they make a sequel, I think they should stick with Timothy Olyphant because he did great as Agent 47. I don't know who else could play the Hitman. I think probably Jason Statham could but he needs to learn english before he does. I still thinks he has the experience because he is all about kicking but i'm still sticking with Timothy Olyphant. Hope he's in the next one. I hate it when they change actors for characters in a movie. I just messes up sequels. Overall Hitman was a great action movie that I would just watch over & over again. It kept me entertained from the begining till the very end. I had a litt probably with the acting from these russians but they wern't too bad I didnt think. I'm sure they could do better but they were still okay for me. So far this is the best video game addaption ever made. When I watched it, I felt like I was playing the game. It was so cool. in the end, I recommend this movie to everyone who loves action-packed movies. Its a must see for all action junkies.

Billy is so full of rage over his dead brother that he threatens Nick & his family with a death sentence. Now Nick has to go over the edge by protecting his family & make sure that Billy & his gang gets what they deserve by waging a one man war against them. I've seen some good revenge movies in my day but this one just topped them all. Death Sentence was the most entertaining revenge tale I've ever seen. This movie has an engaging story which is so perfect for its genre. It's locked & loaded with spectacular action, suspense, & gruesome violence/gore. Its also a very sad movie. The movie kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.Kevin Bacon does a great job as portraying the vigilante full of emotion throughtout the film. Kelly Preston is good as the emotional mother who cries out for her family. Garret Hedlund was a psychotic gang leader who showed so much anger towards Nick & his family. All the cast did a good job making this movie belivible enough to entertain. Overall, everyone needs to see this.Iif someone hasn't, i recommend them to go out & pick theirselves up a copy. They wont regret it. It's defenitly one to own. Death Sentence is an all out revenge thriller with nonstop action, exciting thrills & bone-crushing suspense. 4 1/2 stars

Shoot 'Em Up is a violent crazy over the top action/thriller about man who goes by Mr. Smith (Clive Owen) who gets involved saving a pregnant woman who has an elite team of gunfighters headed by a psychotic leader (Paul Giamatii) after her baby. Mr. Smith comes to the rescue to neutralize the situation by taking of the gunfighters to protect the woman & her child. Moments later, Mr. Smith realizes that the mother didn't make it but with the baby still alive. Mr. Smith decides to take full responsiblity of the baby. From there, Mr. Smith & the baby run into danger everyhere they turn. Mr. Smith must use his unique shooting skills to protect the baby in the only way he knows how & nothing will stand in his way.
Shoot 'Em Up was one heck of fun exciting thrill ride. From the action-packed opening you get thrown with explosive gunfights & fast-paced chases that give you guilty pleasure. Shoot "Em Up has awesome writen all over it. Clive Owen is the ultimate action hero who kills alot of bad dudes with fully automatic machine guns who are trying to kill a baby. Seriously what more could you ask for? I tell ya the director defenitly picked the right title for this one. All the movie is what the title suggests. Shoot 'Em Up is the only action film that i've seen that gives you enough of what it has to offer. I was really suprised how entertaining this film came to be. It kept me on the edge in every scene. Not a dull moment as your smacked with action all the way through. Shoot 'Em Up is totally unrealistic as you witness Clive doing some really crazy things as he kills. For instance, jumping through the air shooting with a baby in his arms, getting chased while driving a car shooting at bad guys while the baby n harms way & jumping out of an airplane shooting also. The film is very insain at best but thats what makes it so fun because it can be. While Shoot 'E'm Up was in theaters, it was probably one of the best experience's in my life. I know it sounds like a line but I really mean it. It was like being on a rollercoaster as it hits you right in the face full of punches that you can't get enough of. Overall, if you don't care for unrealistic crazy aspects of shoorouts then this is defenitly the one film you need to check out. You will get your money's worth seeing it & owning it. Shoot 'Em up is a insainly trigger happy assault masterpiece of pure nonstop bloody action that keeps your adrenaline up full of a great time that you wont soon long forget.

Officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) is back in this fast paced action packed adrenaline rushed fourth installment, Live Free or Die Hard. John is now a Detective with a daughter all grown up thats not too fond of him. One night, John gets assigned to pick up a computer hacker named Matthew Farrell, (Justin Long). As soon as John gets to Farrell, heavily armored bad guys tear Farrells place apart with huge amount of gunfire. John & Farrell barely escape. With Farrell's life on the line, John is trying to figure out why someone would want Farrell dead, Later on, John finds out that a psychotic mastermind named Thomas Gabriel, (Timothy Olyphant) is holding the world for ransom. As John gets closer & closer to Gabriel, things become more dangerous and personal for him.
Live free or Die Hard is my favorite out of the Die Hard franchise. It is very entertaining filled with alot of high voltage action sequences that never let up. The action stunts were so real which made this movie even better to watch. My favorite sequence was when John McClane blew up a hellicopter with a car & he said he was out of bullets. That was the best memorable scene of the movie. Even though this one was PG-13, I still found it kinda of violent. You don't see blood when someone gets shot but it damn sure is intense. I don't see why everyone is complaining about the rating. I mean if all they want is McClane to say the F word every second, then sure. I have to admit that I was a little disappointed hearing this one was being toned down unlike the previous three at first. After I finished watching it, I realized the rating fit perfect. So with the PG-13 rating, that still doesn't make this one the least out of the franchise. I still think this was the best one where it had so much more exciting & thrilling moments. There will be some that won't buy the unbelievible script. It works for a film like this. It was still a hell lot of fun to watch. If yall say that the third Die Hard is better than this one only for the language, then you all are retarded. These movies were not made for the language. They were made specifically for the gritty action/violence. Overall, Live Free or Die Hard still continues to be my #1 film of all time. I recommend this one if your fan of the franchise or just if your all into action flicks.
Bruce Willis does another outstanding job as our hero. I just love seeing him having fun with this character. When you think of John McClane, only one word comes to mind, badass! No other actor has talent like this guy does. Bruce was made for acting because he always makes his character's believible. He's great in everything that he's in which makes him a legend. Bruce still manages to b my #1 actor. Bruce is irreplaceable in that spot. Long live the great Bruce Willis. yippie kay yay!
Timothy Olyphant was very dark & full of anger as Thomas Gabriel. I thought Gabriel was John McClane's worst nemesis so far. The fact that Gabriel had the guts to take John's daughter & tried to kill him. From seeing Timothy's performance in this movie, he is now officially one of my favorite actors. Timothy has the right stuff to play any character he wants. Hope to see him take on more evil roles in the future because I think thats what he's best at.
What can I say about Justin Long, BRILLANT!!! Justin's acting ceases to improve everytime i see him star in a film. Justin almost stole his film by his intelligence. It was defenitly a shocker for me to see Justin take on a role of a computer hacker who has to have smarts into knowing what he's doing. He definitely pulled it off. Justin is a well gifted actor. I can't wait to see him take on more roles in the future. Justin is the most talented young adult actor yet!
The young a sexy Mary Elizabeth Winstead who played John's daughter, Lucy. All I can say is she's on her way to a great career. Mary has a big future ahead of her. She also looks like she could pass for a model as one of the sexiest young actresses. Mary played her role very well & made an impact in this installment by portraying McClane's daughter.
Maggie Q who was Olyphant's hot asian operator/assassin made her character believable enough. Maggie is the first asian actress that can actually act. I just loved watching her kick John's butt & listening to her sexy deep voice. Maggie should pass for a model too. Hope to see her in more films such as action like this one. Maggie is one my favorite actresses that has a bright future in the acting business. Hope she keeps up the good work showing her acting ability & her sexy self.
Whoever hasn't seen this film yet, go out & grab yourself a copy either on DVD or Bluray. I would recommend it more on bluray with the high rating picture/audio it received. The only thing that sucks about the Unrated copy that its only fit for DVD. The Unrated one is the best because it has alot of scenes that wern't shown in the original. Trust me this movie is worth buying & adding to your collection. It's the best Die Hard yet and action film ever!
John McClane: "Yippi-kay-ay, motherfu - "
John McClane: I'm going to go kill this guy & get my daughter or go get my daughter & kill this guy, kill all of them.
John McClane: Mai? Oh, yeah. Little Asian chick, likes to kick people? I don't think she's gonna be talkin' to anybody for a really long time. Last time I saw her she was at the bottom of a elevator shaft with an SUV rammed up her ass.
John McClane: Yeah, you had to dispatch all units for all the naked people walkin' around?
John McClane: I know I'm not as smart as you guys with all this computer shit. But, hey... I'm still alive, ain't I? I mean, you've *got* to be running out of bad guys by now, right? Huh? Gabriel? Honestly, you can tell me. I mean, how does that work? Got some kind of service or something? Some kind of 800 number? 1-800-HENCHMEN? Oh, you know what? I bet you're still on hold with, "Can I get another dead Asian hooker bitch over here right away?"
John McClane: I could come and find you, kick your ass and throw you out of your own party. What do you think about that, dickhead?

Mark Wahlberg wants justice in this action-packed/mystery/thriller, Shooter. Shooter is about an sniper ex-marine named Bobby Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) who lost his best friend in the army & takes full responsibility.
Suffering from that for months, Bobby Lee gets called back into action when a Colonel (Danny Glover) comes to him for help to plot an assassination on someone who wants to kill the President. Bobby Lee doesn't really know if they can be trusted but he wants to help them anyway to get back on his feet.
A few days later, Bobby Lee heads to the location where the assassination will be taken place & scopes out where he thinks would be a good place to take the shot of the bad guy. When the time comes when Bobby Lee thinks the assasination is suppose to begin, something goes terribly wrong when the shot aims for the President but ends up missing him. When Bobby Lee witnesses that, he ends up getting shot & set up by the Colonel that he's the shooter. Bobby Lee ends up being a fugitive that the police & the goverment are after. In some way, Bobby Lee outsmarts them by escaping.
Bobby Lee is hurt & running not knowing who he can trust except one person which is his old partners girlfriend, Sarah (Kate Mara). Sarah nurses Bobby so he'll be healed to get back in shape. Sarah saves Bobby's life by doctoring him. After Bobby Lee is all well, he starts plotting to find the ones who tried to kill him.
Meanwhile, an FBI agent named Nick Memphis (Michael Pena) is trying to help Bobby Lee come clean by trying to prove to everyone he's innocent. Bobby Lee uses Memphis by training him as his partner to solve the conspiracy of why they want him dead. Bobby Lee will stop at nothing to get justice & make sure whoever is responsible pays for setting him up.
Shooter is an excellent & exciting action/thriller. It's the fugitve meets Rambo. This one provides alot of hight class entertainment like you wouldn't believe. It keeps you hooked right from the start with executed action sequences that are a blast till the explosive concluson. The story never gets slow or boring. It's really smart & engaging that keeps you interested & watching. The acting is completely brillant.
The actor that you realy need to watch is Mark Wahlberg. This is his best role he's took on in his career. I was shocked of how good he puled off his character. The character he played makes you think that he would actually be a sniper marine in real life of how he talks explains about his weapon & uses it. I could defenitly picture him as a marine. I tell ya, Mark made one heck of an action hero in this one. Mark is like Rambo in everyway. This movie alone made Mark Wahlberg a big action star. I can't wait to see what action role he takes on next. So pumped up for that. Hope he keeps the talented acting & stays badass.
The second person I liked in this film was Mark's best friend girlfriend, Kate Mara. She is one incredible upcoming actress. The chemistry between her & Mark was truely believible & outstanding. I think Kate is very beautiful & wonderful actress. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, she's very good with a gun so watch out as you can see above. Hope to see mroe of her in films. So far she's one of the greatest upcoming young actresses. Hope she keeps up the good work.
Third, is Danny Glover who played the Colonel. It's been a while since Danny had took on a role & I can understand he struggle's in some scenes but he comes out clean just the same. Danny still is one of the best actors that ever lived. He makes you keep watching him by whatever he pulls up on screen. Some people will think that he's a little different but he still has the acting in him. Danny will always will be one of my favorite's of all time. He never looses his touch or fustrates on what he's doing in a film. He stays with it & keeps it going till he's finished & he succeeds.
Fourth, is the young & talented Michael Pena. That dude takes his roles very well & makes his character so believible you couldn't imagine. He's right up there with the upcoming young intelligent actors around. Michael shows us how smart & how far he's willing to go to impress you ever watches him on screen. I liked how he joined Mark taking down the bad guys & how he was right by his side all the way through. I thought they made a pretty good team. Michael is one of the greats today.

Lastly but certainly not least is the beautiful Rhona Mitra. She also has a good role in this one as she works with helping Michael Pena's character. I just love watching this woman act with her wonderful talents over the years. Every role she takes one, she ceases to impress me everytime i see her. Rhona is so fine if I was her age I would defenitly date her. She has the most finest bod & legs out of any actress that I've seen. Gosh, just would love to meet her one of these days. Not because she's so gorgeous & all but her acting ability. Can't wait to see what she stars in next.
As for all the actors in this movie I didn't really care for because they had small roles & didn't even get into them that much.
Shooter is my #4 movie of all time now. It's mainly because it has a great storyline, great amount of action, & suspense throughout. By far this is Mark Wahlberg's best & action movie to date. I just love watching this movie over & over again. I'll never get tired of it. It will remain one of my greats. Shooter will always be a big movie in my dvd collection that will never get old to watch. Shooter is without a doubt a unforgettable action film that will always be remembered.
Bobby Lee Swagger: I'm going to burn their playhouse down.
Bobby Lee Swagger: They killed my dog.

Smokn' Aces features an all star cast in this action/crime/drama/thriller about assassins who are hired by a mom boss named Sparazza to put a hit on a magician named Buddy "Ace" Israel (Jeremy Piven). Israel gets taken into protective custody where's he's being held in a hotel penthouse. In the mean time, two FBI Agents (Ray Liota) & (Ryan Reynolds) rush to get to Ace before the hitmen do. When everyone collide's at the hotel, they start rounding up amonition to go at it in a showdown where anyone will be lucky enough to survive.
Smokin' Aces is one of the most entertaining crime movie's I've ever seen. I wasnt expecting the story that I got but It was very interesting nonetheless. I thought the story took a while to get anywhere but I understood that everything had to be set up by getting to know the characters & such. Even though moved slow, the plot kept me engaged & interested to see what would happen next. When the action takes place its a brutal, gritty & bloody mess. This film also comes off with alot of comedy that made me laugh. I thought the cast was exceptional with their character.
The one I was very suprised from alicia keys. Alicia played a great bad*** sexy assassin, Geogia Skyes. Alicia kicked butt against everyone. I really didn't like the fact that she played a lesbian because I could never see her that way especially the way she was acting towards her girlfriend. I think Alicia needs to star in more movies like this one. Alicia made it really fun to watch. She also is very hot. I just loved her in this. Hope to see more of her. I think she needs to have two careers instead of one.
The second actor who took me by surprise was Ryan Reynolds. Man, he knows how to carry a role. Ryan really showed me how good of an actor he really is by using emotion. Ryan did what he had to do with his part & he succeeded them. Ryan has come along ways to a ok actor to one of the greatest in my book. Hope he keeps it up because I think he's going to be big one of these days.
Jeremy Piven is one of those next. I remember seeing him in comedies & never once thought that he would pull off something like this. All I have to say is well done. Jeremy really entertained me by watching him act in this. He did a great job with his character showing off his majacian skills & putting off some emotional moments. Jeremy can actually act & didn't think it was possibl;e till he took this role. As far as I can see, Jeremy can pretty much play any character he wants. Can't wait to see what serious role he takes on next.
I thought the tremor brothers played by Chris Pine & Kevin Durand were psychotic. I tell ya, once their mind is on something they go for it. Their as mean as it gets when it comes to assasinations. They think of the most brutal ways to kill someone like their chainsaws & machete's. I really enjoyed watching them on screen. Their one of the reasons why this movie was entertaining.
When you watch this movie, just remember its not an all out action movie. It's an crime/drama filled with suspensful moments with some action involving brutal bloody violence thrown in. So if thats not your cup of tea then stay away. Overall, Smokin' Aces is a very cool entertaining hitman movie with alot of twists & turns.

The Marine is a explosive action/thriller about an ex-marine named John Triton (John Cena) who gets discharged for diaobeying a direct order. Now that John is no longer a marine, he goes home to his beautiful wife (Kelly Calson) & plans to spend time with her till he can get back on track with things. Jonn tell his wife, that he can't sit around without dong anything. He tells her that he has to get a job so he can stay busy. So John finds a job as a security job for the mean time. Things get bad for John when a business man comes in & starts causing trouble. John gets fired for harming him. John goes home & his wife talks to him about going on a vacation, just the two of them. So they both agree on that & they start their vacation the next morning. As John & his wife are on the road, they end up stopping at a gas station where a professional criminal named Rome (Robert Patrick) kidnaps John's wife. Now John is back in action as he goes on a dangerous mission by getting back his wife & using his military skills to take out the bad guys one by one by any means necessary. I The Marine has alot of nontop action sequences that were very intense. It had the most amount of high intensity explosions I've ever seen in a movie. The movie did look kinda fake in parts but it was a very fun ride from start to finish. I really enjoyed every minute of this film. It had good entertainment value to keep you satisfied throughout. John Cena did a pretty decent job for his first flick. He didn't have much lines in this one but how much do you expect from someone's first starring role. John really kicked *** in this movie. He uses his wrestling moves which I thought was very cool coming from a wrestler. Kelly Carlson is very sexy to watch & look at. She gave a pretty good performance as well. Robert Patrick was a pretty good villian that was very edgy & vicious. I didn't really care for the other actors in this movie because their acting was so choppy. I know the other actors could've done a whole lot better on their acting. Thats the only reason you would have a hard time watching this flick but when the action heats up, its so entertaining to watch. You get shocked till the very end. Believe me, there is enough action to go around for the fans. Overall, I recommend this movie for action junkies. Its not a movie to be taken seriously, just one to watch by turning your brain off & enjoy. The Marine is full of action with spectacular adrenaline & nonstop thrills. 3 1/2 stars

Now Chelios must keep his heart pumping by using anything the doctor recommends for him to use for his heart & find the people who tried to kill him by getting revenge before he runs out of time. Crank is a top notch thrill ride around every turn. He keeps you on the edge throughout the movie. I really enjoyed this movie & hope everyone feels the same way I do about this film. Its a great stylish high tech rollercoaster ride. 4 stars

Bruce Wills is back in action as a Detective named Jack Mosely who gets assigned to escort a criminal named Eddie (Mos Def) to a courthouse that is just 16 Blocks away. As the two of them are on the way to the courthouse, Jack finds out that not only is Eddie a criminal but a witness as well when Jack's ex-partner Det. Nugent (David Morse) comes & tells him that Eddie was going to testify against him & cops who commited a murder.Nugent offers Jack to turn Eddie over to him & join them to save the police force but Jack decides that he doesn't want to go that way, only to protect Eddie. Now, Jack & Eddie is in a race against time as they are surrounded by cops who want to bring them down. Jack must keep Eddie alive from Nugent & the crooked cops & make sure that they reach the courthouse before they end up dead.
16 Blocks is a great action film filled with exciting twists & turns that will have your heart racing. From the start it pulls you in by getting right to the point & your in for the ride. It's complete nonstop action that never lets up till the very end. Doesn't have time to stop for anything as Bruce & Mos keep running throughout the film trying to survive. There is plenty of gunfights & full of violent situations that they have to face. 16 Blocks is just faced-paced entertainment that you get hooked on. The plot is one of the best I've heard & very powerful with great acting. Bruce Willis is still the man kicking butt & doing what he does best which is entertaining the audience. Mos Def is really good as Eddie panicking wanting to stay alive. I think that Bruce & Mos made a good team working out their differences in the life or death situation. David Morse also gives a outstanding performance as Nugent, the crooked cop on Bruce & Moss's tail to stop them from talking. I actually think Morse almost stole the show. I've seen him in other films where he's good but in this he's about oscar-worthy. Overall, if your looking for a great action/thriller with enough suspense to go around then this is for you. 16 Blocks is actually one of the best action flms of 06. I enjoyed every minute of this watching the acting & exciting action sequences that keep you on the edge making you feel that your right there with Bruce & Moss. 16 Blocks is a hardcore action-packed rollercoaster thrill ride that will have your heart pumping that you don't want to be over.

Doom
2005, R)
this is the 2nd best video game addaption ever made. doom is a big action/adventure movie that keeps u entertained from begining till end. it has alot of action including gunfights, explosions, & suspense. this is also a very violent & bloody movie with alot of gore throughout. the cast did exceptionally well including the rock who played sarge. i thought he was amazing with his character. he shows everyone how mean & vicious a commanding officer can really be. this movie looked just like the video game especiially when they put the first person shooter in. i thought that was really part & cool for the director. he knows exactly how a video game addaption movie should be made. overall this movie was absolutely amazing & awesome. i recommend this movie for all violent action junkies who dont mind gore. if u do this movie is defenitly not for u trust me, great action/adventure video game addaption movie, 5/5 stars.

Blade (Wesley Snipes) is back for the final battle in this action-packed full throttle sequel. This one begins with a vampire pack searching for Blade worst & darkest enemy ever, Dracula aka Drake (Dominic Purcell). After the vampire clan finds Drake, they take him back with them so he can defeat Blade. One night when Blade is hunting the undead, he realizes that he's been set up by one of the vampires named Danica Talos (Parker Posey). Blade gets caught by the police & taken in for questioning. While Blade is with the cops, Danica comes for Blade by trying to kill him. Moments later, a team of vampire hunters called the Nightstalkers that involves a bad*** named Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds) & the sexy Abigail Whistler (Jessica Biel), Whistler's daughter frees Blade & escapes from Danica & her clan. When Blade & the Nightstalkers escape, they head back to their penthouse to talk to Blade about why Danica was their to kill him. Blade then finds out that his worst enemy, Dracula has been awaken & is going to be unstoppable. Hannibal & Abigail tell Blade that they may know a way to kill Drake & that is by a dart called daystar thats suppose to send Drake back to the underworld & every other vampire in the world. Now, Blade, Hannibal & Abigail must find Drake & fight him & his evil pack by using Daystar so they can finally end the vampire race for good.
Blade Trinity is a goodaction/horror sequel thats very entertaining. Wesley Snipes is good once again as Blade kicking butt as always. He still has the fight in him. In this one, Wesley actually has some comic lines which was cool to see. I always thought that Blade was suppose to be a serious character but I guess their's nothing wrong with having a little comedy thrown in there.
Jessica Biel looks very sexy & played a good part in her role.
Ryan Reynolds is funny as Hannibal King & cool fighting in action.
The upcoming actor Dominic Purcell played a good as Drake. He was very frightening & horrifying at moments. The fight between Dominic & WEsley was off the hook. Dominic put on a good show.
The gothic Danica Talos who was played by Parker Posey was sexy, scary & freaky vampire. There were some scenes in this film where her hair due was ridiculous, just ask Hannibal King. He'll give you all the facts. That still didn't disappoint her performance. Parker was still on target for her character.
Everyone else on screen was good too. This movie did have a number of action sequences throughout. The violence was intense. The only thing I didnt like about ths movie was the dracula story. I thought Dracula was suppose to be a vampire only. It just so happens he turns in a strange looking monster dragon thing. I thought that was kinda corny. Overall, this thrid entry has alot going for it that I recommend for action junkies/horror fans.

the punisher is a great action packed movie. thomas jane played a great punisher. he was very vicious, brutal, & emotional just how the punisher is. thats wat makes him a good punisher. this is a very entertaining movie. it had a bunch of nonstop action sequences with gunfights & explosions. john travolta played a great bad guy. his acting was great just like everyone elses on screen. i cant wait for the 2nd punisher movie. i heard tom jane is not going to play the punisher but thats ok. he stole this movie with his performance. just hope the next punisher is just as good as he was as the punisher. overall i recommend this movie for action fans. its a movie that u dont wont to miss, awesome action flick 4/5 stars

What a great action/war movie & it had plenty of it. One of Bruce Willis best & finest performaces. He was excellent in this movie leading his marines into a dangerous mission against the gorillas. Everyone else lights up the screen but Bruce Willis more because he's the main actor. He did an amazing job as Lt. Waters. This is a very sad movie & one that will never be forgotten. It is a very heart felt story. It is quite violent at times but great nonetheless. Its one to watch over & over again. I know because thats the reason I bought the movie. I love it 5/5 stars.

Blade is based on the comic book legend about a half human/vampire (Wesley Snipes) who must hunt down the one vampire named Decon Frost (Stephen Dorff) who infected his mother (Sanaa Lathan) & for making him for what he is. On Blade's mission, he saves attractive nurse (N'Bushe Wright) from a bloodsucker that ended up bitting her. When Blade saves her, the nurse joins Blade on his quest for revenge. Together Blade & the nurse go through the night hunting the undead by looking for Decon. On Blade's journey, he relaizes something is going on in the vampire ranks. Blade witnesses that Decon is wanting to be more powerful. When, Blade finds that out, he starts trying to find out what Decon is up to by going through the city looking for answers. Blade finds answers & gives the information to his pal Whistler (Kris Kristofferson) who makes the weapons for Blade. Meanwhile, the nurse is starting to turn & trying to find a cure for Blade so he want be what is no longer. Now, Blade must stop Deacon's plan by using his martial art & weaponary skills to slay all the vampires before its the end of the human race.
Blade is probably the best cinematic experience i've had & the best comic book movie yet. From the very begining, you are drawn into the story of Blade while having a blast watching him kick ass. The opening action sequence probably has to be the best i've seen out of any action film. What i loved about that scene is Blade interupting a bloodbath party by just standing there waiting for the vampires to notice him. I thought that was total badass. After the opening bloodbath, the action just keeps moving in a fast pace where it barely slows down. By watching Snipes take on this character, it seems like he put his heart & soul into it. Snipes also looked like he was having fun which is always a plus. When actors do that, it makes the film that much more fun to watch. Director Stephen Norrington did a great job about coming up with the story of Blade & especially his wardrobe & weapons. After seeing Blades outfit, it made me want to own it. I think its that awesome. Also would love to own his samarai sword which is the best thing about the character Blade. Without Snipes or the sword, there would be no Blade. Stephen Dorff played the perfect vampire leader, Decon Frost. Stephen made his character very dark & pretty much took control which takes alot to do in movies. I thought Stephen had great chemistry with Snipes. Its just a thrill watching them go at it. Overall, if your into comic book films, Snipes, or a hardcore action/fantasy fan, you'll love Blade. Once the film starts rolling you won't stop watching. Blade is very entertaining actionier. I recommend this movie for all Blade & Wesley Snipes fans. TWO VERY BIG THUMBS UP!!!!!!! Blade is a flat out bloodsoaking vampire actionier full of pure horror & spectacular fireworks.
Part Man. Part Vampire. All Hero
Against an army of immortals, one warrior must draw first blood.

Bruce Willis stars in this action/thriller as an FBI Agent named Art Jefferies who is assigned to look after a 9-year old retarted boy named Simon (Miko Hughes) who supposely looked at a crossword & found an ecrypted number that leads to a terrorist organization where the head leader, Nick Kudrow (Alec Baldwin) wants dead. It's up to Agent Jefferies to keep Simon alive from Kudrow & go behind the mystery why the organization wants to terminate Simon.
Mercury Rising is a pretty good film for Willis. It's not his over the top action blockbuster like the Die Hard trilogy but its not that bad either. Mercury still provides the butt kicking from Willis just like all his other movies. To me, this is a suspense/thriller than action one. The action is good when it comes but its really set on a thrilling adventure with good acting. The movie gets right to the point with the story & keeps you on the edge with it throughout. Bruce Willis gives a good performance playing the cop protecting Miko Huges who was such a surprise as the retarted boy, Simon. There's no surprise about Alec Baldwin as he's one of the best underrated actors of all-time. So you know exactly what to expect from him. Alec wasn't the best villian I've seen mainly because he hasn't played much in a film before probably why I couldn't see it. Alec still did what he had to do to make the audience keep watching him. I was kinda disappointed that Willis & Baldwin didn't have much chemistry with each other. Overall, if your a fan of the cast/thrills/a bit of action, I highly recommend this as its a nonstop ride from start to finish. Mercury Rising is ok action film but big on thrilling suspense that will give you an adventure of a lifetme.

Face off has a ton nonstop action sequences including shootouts, chasing, & explosions throughout. The acting was great from everyone including the main stars of the movie which are John Travolta & Nicolas Cage. It has alot of bad language so dont be suprised when you watch this film. John Woo did excellent job with the gunfight scenes & set pieces. I really enjoyed this film & I'm sure everyone else will feel the same way too. This is also a very entertaining action flick so you wont be bored one bit while watching it. Overall, I recommend this movie for action junkies only, nothing more. Face Off is a rocket.full adrenaline pumping action.

Jean Claude Van Damme hits hard taking down the bad guys in this slam bang action/thriller, Sudden Death. Sudden Death takes place where a firefighter named Darren McCord (Jean Claude Van Damme) looses a civilian he was trying to rescue. Years later, Darren is retired but still helping out with the department with little things. The only thing that Darren wants now is to spend time with his two children who he barely see's since he's in a divorce. One day, Darren purchases tickets for his kids to a hockey game. When Darren & his kids get there, things go wrong when thugs headed by a madman (Powers Boothe) who kidnapps the Vice President & takes hostages into his hands to get a hefty ransom. The madman asks for that money at a certain time or the bombs that he planted within the stadium will explode wtih everyone inside. Darren is the only one standing between the hostages. Darren must locate where all the bombs are before they set off & spread death.
Sudden Death is one of Jean Claude's best in the 90's. It's not action-packed throughout but it sure packs a punch full of intensity violent aspects. It was good to see Jean Claude back in form with his martial arts which is always great to see. Sudden Death is very fast paced where it doesn't have time to slow down. It keeps you on the edge with something suspensful hapeening every second. I must say from Jean Claude's acting has increased. To me, its one of his best perfromances. I throughly enjoyed this action picture. As I was watching Jean Claude in this, I was thinking of Bruce Willis in Die Hard which was good because thats one of my favorite action films. So thats saying that I liked Sudden Death pretty much the same way. Overall, if ur a fan of Van Damme or action, you won't be disappointed as in you get alot of those two things. Sudden Death is slick piece of action entertainment that sure to put a smile on any fan of the genre's face.

The Getaway is an action/thriller remake about a caper couple named Doc Carter McCoy (Alec Baldwin) & his astouding wife, Carol (Kim Basinger) who have been callled upon by a wealthy bussiness man, Jack Benyon (James Woods) to pull off a dangerous heist. When Doc & Carol get the job complete, things go terribly wrong for them when they find out that they have been betrayed by Benyon as he sends a bunch of men to hunt down the couple along with the money. Everywhere Doc & Carol turn danger heads towards them where they have no choice to defend theirselves during violent shootouts & high speed chases to stay alive.
The Getaway is a fun, exciting ride from start to finish. It's extremely entertaining actioner filled with heartponding suspense & electryfying action at every turn. When I first watched this, I didn't know that it was a remake. I haven't seen the original so i can't tell ya if it was better than the remake. I can tell ya this, that I found this remake to be good. Alec & Kim are at their best which by the way makes a wonderful couple even though sometimes they argue too much but I guess thats the extent of their relationship. The married couple acted as it was in real life. They were both good & enjoyed their performances. Warning: this film does display some strong sexuality exspecially in the uncut & unrated version which may violate to younger viewers. Even though this wasn't a great action film. It had fantastic moments of gunplay where it used some of John Woo slo-mo in some scenes that I found intriguing. I loved the way that was put in where it made the action stylistic in those sequences. Their's a good shootout towards the end that has lots of the slo-mo going on. One of the best shootouts i've witnessed in a long time. I just thought this was exhilerating film with good plot, good acting, good action, & shocking suspense. All this film is good for is entertainment & that's exactly what it gives ya. The Getaway is adventurous story driven sexy action/thriller filled with explosive mindblowing gunfights & chases that keeps you rooting for more.

This was a pretty good die hard movie. The only thing that was wrong with this one is that it didnt have enough action to keep the movie entertained. It dragged out a little bit towards the middle but still was alright. It still is a very good die hard movie just not one of the best in the trilogy. Overall still worth watching. 3 1/2 stars

Taken
2008, PG-13)
Taken is a heart pumping action/thriller bout a father/ex-special forces agent named Bryan (Liam Neeson) who finds out that his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) got kidnapped in Paris. Now Bryan has to use his special set of skills to take down the kidnappers & get back his daughter. This movie was so fast-paced with action at every turn with explosive gunfights & hand to hand combat. It didnt slow down for one minute. Taken was so very entertaining so u couldnt possibly get bored. It keeps u watching till the very end. Liam Neeson was brillant & intelligent just like he always is. He really kicks butt in this one. I thought this was his best performace & movie ever. Maggie Grace who plays Kim did a very good job as the daughter. Famke Janssen who is one of my favorite actreeses gives a heart warming performance as the mother who is worrying about her daughter. Everyone else were good on screen but those 3 are my favorite. overall this is a great action movie i'm sure everyone will enjoy. i thought it was the best action movie of the year so far. i recommend this movie for Liam Neeson & action/spy fans. Taken is a great action packed adrenaline fueled thrill ride, 5 stars.

12 Rounds was a very surprising action movie to me. It has a great plot, great action & great acting that I didn't see coming. The action sequences were shot very well which made them look so real. They were electrifying & exciting to watch. The camera was a bit shakey like in the Bourne Ultimatum but made the action come to life just like that movie's action scenes did. Now for the big finalie, the acting by John Cena. I have to tell you that John Cena really impressed me by his acting ability in this movie. John proves that he has what it takes to be an actor & action star. Aiden Gillen played a dirty & violent crminal. I'm not too familiar with this guy but he really did his thing & made a good appearence. It was just as good watching him act as Cena's. In this film you get to root for the good & bad guy on screen which rarely happens in movies. I think John & Aiden stole this film. Between the two of them was just so fantastic playing cat & mouse. I hope Cena & Gillen keep starring in films like this one because I think the two of them could have a big future in acting. Ashely Scott that I wasn't too sure about did a great job too playing Molly. She was very believible showing emotion & anger. Everyone of the cast was outstanding in their own way which made this movie that much more enjoyable. The entertainment stand out as one of the most entertaining action movie Ive seen in a while since Live Free or Die Hard. Overall, 12 Rounds is worth paying to see & own when it comes to DVD. If you like massive explosions, exhilerating car chases, or solid gunfights you'll like 12 Rounds. If you into fighting, look somewhere else because this movie doesn't contain that at all. It's a fast-paced version of speed that keeps going & never stops. It's an intense experience that you just want to experience all over again. 12 Rounds is a highly entertianing action adrenaline pumping fueled thriller with excellent storyline & mindblowing stunts.

Wovlerine is a great action-packed adrenaline rush of a film. It's so fast paced that's very entertaining. It held my attention throughout with the interesting plot & explosive nonstop action sequences. The special effects were beyond amazing. They were mindblowing of something I've never witnessed before. Hugh Jackman does a great job as Wolverine as he always does. No one could match the character of wolverine except him. Liev Schreiber who played Vicktor aka Sabertooth was very good with his role. The only thing I din't get is if he's called Sabertooth, how come no one mention his name towards him in here? I didn't get it but the movie is still great. I thought this Sabertooth was cooler looking than the one in the first X-MEN. Liev made a believable Sabertooth that was very ferocious & evil. Danny Huron played well as the evil experimenter. Ryan Reynolds was cool & funny as Deadpool even thought he was briefly shown. Taylor Kitsch played the awesome Gambit. He's such a cool character that's one of my favorite mutants along with Wolverine. Everyone else did a good job portraying their characters too. This movie is just flat out fast, fun, exciting, & watchable thorughout. I didn't get boring one mintue watching this flick. It has it all for a great action movie. What made this movie that more entertaining was the funny lines. Overall, Wolverine is a movie thatsa must see for all action/x-men fans. Wolverine is the best X-MEN yet & probably will ever be. Wolverine is an exciting action/sci/fi adrenaline pumping heart pounder with spectacular special effects, outstanding acting, shocking suspense & a heavy class of full blown entertainment.

Now, Connor & Marcus must go inside & find out exactly whats going on with skynet so they can stop the machines once & for all to protect the human race..
Salvation opens up with a bang & never lets up the whole 2 hours. It was a heartpounding action/adventure that was entertaining all the way through that stayed true to the franchise. I think this one is the best out of trilogy because it had alot going for it like better storyline, action & visual effects. Their's quite a number of great action scenes involving gun battles & explosions in Salvation.
One of my favorites is where Marcus & Kyle are running from the harvester & motorcycle terminators. That was a long intense chase sequence.

The second fav part is at the very end where Connor comes face to face with a lookalike of Arnold Schwarzenegger & Marcus putting up a fight with the T-800 that reminded me of T2 when Arnold was facing the T-1000.
Salvation is also quite violent. In some scenes you see blood & brutal shots of the machines killing humans. I thought the terminators in this one looked darker than the previous ones. Their were alot of new machines in this one that I found to be cool.
Logo Designer
First, was the T-600 that was the first cyborg to appear upon screen. They were locked & loaded with heavy machine guns that shoot in a blink of an eye.
Second, is the T-800 that are the newley develped cyborg by skynet that are much stronger & harder to kill than any other machine.
Third, The Harvester that is a big mechanical robot thats a lookalike of a transformer that has a cannon thats attached to its back to target to blow things up with.
Fourth, the machines that are called the Moto-terminators that are the Harvesters defense incase it can't catch up. They have cannons strapped on the side of them that they target with & destroy without warning.
Last but not least, the hydrobot that surfaces around water & attacks we don't expect it.
I was really impressed with the acting. Christian Bale, my favorite of them all is no surprise. He's just one of the greatest actors ever that brought John Connor to life. I tell ya, Christian can play anything once he sets his mind to it. Christian did well with the action scenes fighting the terminators. Looks like he did his own stunts which is also not a shocker because he did it in the Dark Knight while playing Batman. Hope Christian ends up coming back for the sequel for the franchise. I don't think anybody else could play the part of John Connor only Christian. Every movie that Christian stars in he just ceases to amaze me with his talents.
Second best actor in this film was Sam Worthington's performance as Marcus. Sam did an outstanding job while playing his part. As I was watching Sam on screen, he looked like he put his heart & soul into his character. I think he's going to have a big future in the acting business one day. Hope to see him take on more roles.
Third best actor was Anton Yelchin who played Kyle Reese. Man, from seeing him in Alpha Dog, he really improved on his acting. Their were some scenes in the movie he stole. Anton's on his way to being a big actor hisself. Way to go!!!
Fourth is the beautiful Moon Bloodgood who took on Blair Williams. When I saw Moon in Street Fighter, I thought she was just an ok actress. When I saw her in this one, man she blew her performance from Street Fighter out of the water. I was saying to myself once she hit on screen, that girl can act all the way & she did throughout. I've never been so surprised by my life by acting in a movie. Moon is on her way to the top & beyond.
Last actor that I was utterly surprised by was rapper Common who portrayed Barnes. I must say I had very low expectations on his acting since some of his other roles I've witnessed. When he poped up in Salvation, Woah, talented actor. I tell ya, first rapper that took a movie seriously & didn't mess up. Common made his character believable & one that everyone would cheer for. I think Common needs to switch from rapping to acting. Acting is where he belongs & i'm sure everyone will agree with me on that.
Their were more good actors in this film like Bryce Dallas Howard who was Kate. I have to day that I didn't really get into her character much because she wasn't that intresting to me. If she had better character develpment my perspective would change.
Last but not least their's Michael Ironside that I didnt really care for but he was still good nonetheless.
Overall, this is a start of a new franchise all thanks to the brillant director McG who put his brain & heart to work in this amazing piece of cinema entertainment. Salvation is the first of its kind that I'm a assuming will be huge summer blockbuster & very big at the box-offce. If your fan of terminator you'll defenitly love this one. It doesn't disappoint for a minute. If your not a fan still go see this. After watching this one, I promise you will become one. Terminator Salvation is an all out enjoyable action-packed scifi entertainer filled with heart beating suspense, electryfying thrills, & amazing special effects.
John Connor: If we stay the course, we are dead, we are all dead.
Marcus Wright: I'm the only hope you have.
Kyle Reese: Come with me if you want to live.

Crank: High Voltage is brillantly executed action/adventure/comedy that is way better than the first. High Voltage has everything you would want in a movie that includes blood, guns, dark humor, sex, drugs & boobs. This one blows the first one off by a mile by all those things. Basically because its more over the top & fun. I thought this one had a more interesting plot than the original. This movie is so crazy, its awesome. I enjoyed every minute of it. I never was bored for a second. It kept me strapped in watching all the way through. This is my favorite movie ever. It has great story, great direction, great dark comedy, great mindless action sequences & great gratuitious violence. This movie wasn't made for the acting, just the experience & having a good time. I thought the acting was great because their were such insane characters just that fits the movie just right. Jason Statham is what made this movie great. He shows the audience here that he is the biggest action star in history. This is his best movie yet. Mark Neveldine/Brian Taylor who directed this movie are amazing by coming up with ideas for a movie like this. Hope to see more movies made by them in the future. I think their going to be very big one day. By this movie, their my favorite directors of all time. Hope that stays that way. Overall, if you liked the first Crank you'll love this one even more. If you didn't then look somewhere else because this movie takes the cake for the most craziest movie you'll ever see in your life. By the way, stay after the end of the credits. It gives you a hint that their's going to be a next installment to the trilogy. I don't know what kind of idea their going to come up with this time but I'm sure looking forward to it. It's an excellent piece of action cinema experience that I'm hoping will make alot of money at the box-office because it definitely deserves it. Crank: High Voltage is a perfectly charged high octane adrenaline rush full of ridiculous moments, bone crushing action set pieces & spectacular entertainment.
THEY'VE TAKEN HIS HEART & HE WANTS IT BACK.

Rise of the Lycans is a great prequel to the other Underworld movies telling the story about how the Lycans were slaves to the Death Dealers. It shows you how they battled it out before the war started. This one I think had the best plot out of the other two which makes it the best one out of the series. It keeps you interested & doesn't drag one bit. It keeps you throughly entertained. It has a brillant cast including the talented Lucian who was played by Michael Sheen. My second favorite actor in this movie was the lovely & sexy Rhona Mitra as Sonja. She was absolutley amazing as a vampire. I thought her performance was about the same as Kate Beckinsale's was. The last strong actor here is the fantastic Bill Nighy, the powerful vampire Vicktor. Everyone elses acting was believible enough to watch. This movie is filled with bloody fight sequences from start to finish. It has enough blood/gore to go around for anyone who craves for it. I really liked the end of the movie where it shows Selene sitting up on the ledge where the first one started off. That really suprised me & put a great end to the trilogy. In the end, I recommend this movie for anyone who like the other 2 Underworlds or just if you like vampires/werewolves. There is no way you couldn't like this movie. Its the best prequel I've ever seen. So be sure to check this one out if you loved the other two Underworlds. Its a jaw dropping heart pumping action packed thrill ride that doesn't stop till the very end. Rise of the Lycans is a masterpiece!!!!! 5 stars

The whole gang is back for another ride in this shifting action-packed prequel, Fast & Furious. This one starts off where Dom (Vin Diesel), his girlfriend Letty (Michelle Rodriquez) & their gang are trying to hijack a load from a truck driver. Things go bad for them, when the truck driver runs them off the road. The truck gets out control for the driver & he can't stop it. Dom & Letty are in grave danger as the truck is by their side on the road. Suddenly, the truck driver escapes his truck & Dom & Letty tries to out run the truck before it crashes into them. Dom gets ahead of the truck & few seconds after they do that, the truck turns over on its back & slides towards them. Out of the blue, Dom gets a crazy idea by getting past the truck. Dom decides to try to beat the truck by going under it as its rolling over them. Luckily, Dom & Letty make it past the truck & are safe. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) is chasing down a convicted felon trying to get answers from him about information about a drug cartel. Brian gets hold of the felon & interogates him. Back somewhere in Los Angeles, Dom & Letty are spending time with each other. As the two of them are enjoying their time together. Dom tells Letty that he needs to get away before the cops find him & takes him away. So Dom leaves Letty & heads to Mexico for the time being. Weeks later, Mia (Jordana Brewster), Dom's sister calls him & tells him that a loved one of his was murdered. Dom's heart gets broken & wants vengence by finding the killer & make sure he pays for what he did. As Dom is looking for the killer, Brian finds Dom & teams up with him by helping him find the one who was responsible & bring that person to justice.
The only way Brian & Dom can seek justice against the killer is by getting involved in car races that is run by a drug dealer named Campos (John Ortiz). As Dom & Brian get closer to finding the killer, things get bad for the two of them where they have to escape from dangerous situations where its impossible to survive. When the killer, finds out about Dom & Brian, the killer starts hunting them down inch by inch till their both dead. Dom & Brian must go over the edge by fighting the killer at his own game through explosive car races, massive shootouts till justice is served.
Fast & Furious is the best in the series. It's the one we've all have been wating for & it delivers. Action explodes off screen right from the start & keeps going till the end. This one has more intense race sequences than the other 3. I really enjoyed watching the cars race through the whole movie. This movie is just one big race scene that never stops. The cars are more fast & more furious than ever. The action scenes contains chases & shootouts that are real exciting when witnessing. When they come, you get shocked & thrilled. As you watch the drivers race their cars, you feel like your right their with them experiencing their car crashes & mayhem. It's just so unbelivible. The acting has improved by all the coming back actors. I was really impressed how much Vin Diesel's acting improved. I actually think he stole this movie by being the cool dude he is. Vin took it serious by seeking vengence. I enjoyed watching Vin kick butt fighting aganst the bad guys in fist fights & shootous. Paul Walker was great too. Well, he's always great but I think this was his best performance & one I've been waiting to see. Paul came in second in this movie. Paul also kicks butt coming down all on the bad guys & busting their heads. Jordana brewster & Michelle Rodiquez had very small roles but both gave good performances. They also get points for being the sexy babes that they are. Overall, Fast & Furious is one to check out & own when it comes to video. It doesn't matter if your a fan of cars or the series. This movie is surprisingly entertaining expereince that you'll never forget, trust me. Fast & Furious is a spectacular supercharged action fueled thrill ride that keeps pumping energy through every sequence that keeps you wanting more & more. 5 stars

(Stephen Sommers), the Director who brought you the Mummy brings you another action/adventure about a special unit of soldiers you battle wits against a evil cooperation run by the villianous Destro in G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA.
I must say when I heard about & saw the trailer for G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA, I wasn't too thrilled. I thought it was going to be just another corny addaption that a director put together that was painfully bad to experience. With G.I. JOE it succeeds where its awesomely done as Sommers brings the cartoon to life. I was very surprised how much fun I had watching G.I. JOE. It's basically nonstop action from start to finish thats hardcore intenssity with huge explosions & bullets fying all over the place for it's 120 run time. Even though the movie wasn't exactly like the cartoon, I still thought it was cool how Sommers took it & made it into something everyone could enjoy. Sommer's managed to make the actors like action figures in a futuristic way. This film just blew me away with it's incredible action sequences & fun moments. When the action hits, they are extremely loud for the hearing impaired which saying not a bad thing since I like to listen to it. The only problem I had with this was the fact the effects went a little over the top where it made the movie look too cartoonish. The story was kinda cool but thats not really the main issue here. All G.I. JOE was made for was to enjoy it for what it is, a big summer popcorn action film. The acting in this film was decent. I mean your not going to have an oscar worthy of actors in a film like this. The one I thought stood out the most was Channing Tatum as Duke. I thought Channing carried the movie well. He showed alot of emotion & looked like he had fun with his character. Their were also a few babes in here that were smokin hot like the Baroness played by the sexy (Sienna Miller) & lovely (Rachel Nicols) as Scarlet in those tight leather suits. I know the guys will have a time watching them. The legendary Dennis Quaid kinda failed for me as he went over the top with his character making it seem like he was rehearsing. If I had to choose my favorite one of the lot, I would have to go with Ray Park who was Snake Eyes. Man, that dude is just so fun to watch as he does his martial art moves & weaponary skills. Everything about him is awesome & amazing in way thats hard to believe that he's doing all his stunts. Ray was just all over the place in this one which was good. Snake Eyes really kicked butt. Hope to see him kick more on the second one. The others were just alright but not really special as the ones I just mentioned. I think the other actors felt the same way, just having fun with something like this. I mean who couldn't when you have the oppurtunity to become an action figure? BTW this interprets a sequel from the ending, I can't wait to see how the second one is going to turn out. I'm guessing more action than this one but I was surprised how much action this one had for the first one, it was surprisingly amazing.
Overall, G.I. JOE is a must see for action junkies. It's probably the greatest action movie I've seen in my life. So if your familiar with the cartoon its a definent watch. If you've never heard of the cartoon which is highly unlikely, you'll still have tons of fun with it. If you just turn your brain off for 2 hours which really didn't seem all that long since it was so fast paced with entertainment, you'll love this one. So far G.I. JOE is best cartoon adaptation ever made. G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA is a fast paced, entertaining exciting, adrenaline rushed actiioner that expodes off screen full of nonstop action packed stunts that are impossible to take your eyes off.

The Crank directors Nedveline/Taylor are back with this crazy over the top futuristic scifi/action/thriller called Gamer. Gamer takes place in a world where humans control others by gaming technolgy created by an intelligent mastermind named Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). Theirs two kinds of games which are called Society, a game where people just like to have fun making an avatar & playing with & then theirs Slayers, a game where death row inmates fight to the death. In Slayers, gamers get to choose which player they want to compeat with. Simon (Logan Lerman), a teen who loves to play games chooses a physical inmate who goes by the name of Kable (Gerard Butler). Each gamer has to be very careful on playing Slayers so they wont get their player killed. The team that survives long enough & ends up winning will be set free. Each week as Simon is playing with Kable, he guides him through death by leading him that much closer to victory. As Kable is fighting to live, he's putting his life on the line trying to get to his family. Now, Simon must help Kable escape the game so he can free everything he cares for the most & take over Castle's program.
>
Nedveline/Taylor does it again as the give you another over the top insane mind blowing action movie that you have to experience on the big screen. This time they give you an even bigger budget action film full of adrenaline that keeps your heart racing every step of the way. Gamer takes you on a fun 90 minute entertaining ride of your life as you watch the undefeated bad ass Kable running & fighting for his life in spectacular battles kicking major butt thats sure to leave you breathless. Gamer starts off with the song "Sweet Dreams" by Marylin Manson in the opening credits then puts you right in the action in a long battle sequence that will blow you right out of your seat. Gamer had my heart pumping from the very beginning where I couldn't take my eyes off watching. Warning: This film is very pervasive with its rating as it makes its way to the brutal stage of violence & crude sexuality. It's definitely not for kids by all means. In all the great action scenes you get to see graphic violence of blood splatter & blown body parts. When the action is not taking place it will turn to the society part of the film that has some really disgusting things that appear by some of the avatar characters. It 's full of sexual situations & lots of nudity that I think was too much coming from the directors. Even though, I know how these directors like to shoot by mixing elements into their film, I just thought it was too gross where it almost made me vomit. When the action starts back up again which only take 10 minutes to get a breather, it's another long & intense great action sequence that gets even more violent as it keeps going on. In some scenes when witnessing the violent moments before they become dead corpses, you get to see their limbs get shot right at your face just like you would see in 3D. I kept thinking as all that was happening right in my face that this movie should have been in 3D which would have made it even more spectacular. Throughout you just keep begging for more thrilling action & thats exactly what you get. The score with the battle scenes fit with them I think. They were loud with a dark vibe to it. I though Gamer had a somewhat interesting script that was kinda dark as it explained how the mind controlling of humans was. I thought it was neat & awesome concept that has never been told before on screen. The way the directors took this film & turned it into a real life gaming environment. One things I witnessed & loved from this film was when it showed Simon controlling Kable in third person mode just like you would see in a video game. I thought that was sweet putting that in there because it fitted right in with the concept of the game.
Gamer is completely different from all these other films like Death Race, The Condemned & the Running Man. Even though Gamer has a different concept, it mixes all those movies into one. It seems to me before they made Gamer, they couldn't come up with a intelligent plot to make a great action film. Well folks, I think the directors actually did it by coming up with a plot like this. I really liked how real everything looked in this film. the gunfights, blood, & explosions. The story isn't the main issue here even though I thought it was interesting & good. Everyone knows the real deal that gets you hyped up from a film like this is the crazy things that the directors have in store for you. If everyone is familiar with the Crank directors will have no problem with the camera work. Of course its shaky & all that but it makes you think that your in the movie. So everyone shouldn't have a problem watching this thinking the same way. The background was perfect for the setting. It made me think if this is what its going to look & be like in the future. The one thing that got me shocked from the start was how believable the acting was. I can tell ya, that I wasn't too sure about the casting for this one. I thought everyone was going to do terrible. Man, did they prove me wrong. Everyone did an fantastic job with their character.
The best supporting actor who stole the film I think was Gerard Butler. Gerard's acting has reached a high new level proving that he is one of the most talented actors out there. Gerard also has come to be one of the awesomeness action stars like Jason Statham. I loved watching him kick butt especially in this one. To me, it looked like he did all his stunts by his self. From all his other action films, this has to be his best one I've seen since 300. Hope he stars in a whole lot more action films & leave the comedy ones behind. Action is what Gerard should stay with. Move over Schwarzenegger & Stallone, Gerard has come to take your place with his style of ass whooping.
Overall, Gamer is a big budget popcorn action/scifi/thriller filled with exciting moments that make you go woah. It's a definent must see for action junkies. If you just turn off your brain & enjoy it for what it is you'll have a great time at the movies. if you want something thats straightforward story or character develpoment this isn't for you. I've seen this three times in a row so that has to tell yall something. I'm defenitly grabbing me a copy when it hits the shelves on dvd. Gamer is a fun enjoyable adrenaine rushed extravaganza with mindblowing action from start to finish.

Director Christian Alvart & Producer (Paul WS. Anderson) who brought you Resident Evil & Alien vs. Predator takes you for a spectacular ride in space in this psychological suspenseful horror/scifi/thriller called Pandorum. Pandorum is about two space cadets named Bower (Ben Foster) & Payton (Dennis Quaid) who wake up on their abandoned ship with memory loss. While Bower & Payton are trying to figure out what happened to them, they start looking for crew members to find answers. As the search goes on, Bower finds two upright survivors who tell him that their not the only ones on board. The survivors tell Bower that they are being hunted by mysterious creatures who have taken over their ship. As Bower & survivors fight to stay alive, they begin to notice that everything isn't what it seems as they embark a thing called Pandorum where they suffer at the hands of paranoia. Bower & the others must go beyond to figure out the mystery behind Pandorum before everything they know is lost.
Pandorum was a pretty cool scifi/horor film. It's defnitly something new that we haven't seen before in the genre which is the reason why i liked it so much. Pandorum opens up with a dark atmospheric setting that gets right to the point of the mystery. I've never seen a scifi movie that is fast-paced with its storyline. When watching Pandorum it reminded me of another scifi/horror film, Event Horizon. Pandorum is ten times better than that one as it has more jumps, scares & twist & turns every minute. Pandorum doesn't take its self too seriously which i'm glad because its suppose to be fun & entertaining nothing more. I was impressed it didn't take too long for the creatures to show up. That came unexpected & errie when they did. The creatures reminided me from the Descent of how viciously dark they were by killing everything in sight. I thought the creatures were cool looking as they acted like warriors with spears. Theres quite amount of blood. Nothing too gory just like your standard scifi pictures. A movie doesn't have to be violent for you to enjoy it but i can understand that the violence is whatever one comes to see by movies like this. Here its not the case as this movie was more action/adventure than horror. You get nonstop chases sequences that keep you on the edge & fight scenes that are thrilling to watch. The acting was decent enough for you to get into them. Ben Foster who played Bower was believible & the strongest out of the cast. Probably one of his best roles I've seen him in. Dennis Quaid was good. Never have been a fan of Dennis's but he was good for me here. There were moments where he went a little too far with his acting but he succeeded in the end. Cam Gigandet was probably the weakest. Cam seemed he was trying to be way too serious with the film. There were parts where he was ok & some where he just lost it by going over the top. I tell ya Cam, you need to stop trying to use so much emotion with your character if you dont', your going to end up killing his spirit. He came sort of clean in the end but by seeing him in other fims, I expected so much more from him. Sadly, Cam was just so disappointing to me. Need to try harder if you want to stay in show bussiness Cam. Overall, Pandorum is deffenitly one that you should see. Despite its flaws, Pandorum offers enough entertainment by giving you a fun exciting scfi adventure filled with plenty of action & horror elements to keep you satisfied throughout.
