Warrior (2011)

Rocky Reborn, what a movie.

[26 October 2011]

I am a huge Rocky fan and i must say that Warrior has to definitely be on the same scale if not better. Not only is the action in this movie brilliantly filmed, but the story really takes you on a emotional roller coaster. If you liked Rocky, you will love Warrior, this movie definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat with all of the action sequences and gives you goose bumps all over. Guys this is a must watch for all, even the ladies will love it because the story gets you emotionally involved. Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte, and Joel Edgerton, i would love to see you guys get some reward because i haven't seen acting like that in a long time. Overall do not miss out, go watch this movie because you will not be disappointed.

Second in Command (2006 Video)

Disappointed with Second in Command

[4/10 · 6 June 2006]

I am a huge fan of JCVD, and i must admit that by far Second in command has to be one of the worst movies he has ever made. It had a good story line but the action and acting was very cheaply made. You cannot compare this movie at all to the Wake of Death, now that is one of JCVD great movies that he has made in a while. Yes Second in Command had a lot of action but to me JCVD needs to have a more variety of action like more one on one fight sequences, not just shooting guns. To me Second In Command was cheaply made and therefore spoiled the whole movie. JCVD has the potential to take action to another level which he has done in the past. To all of the IMDb viewers, you cannot compare this movie at all to the Replicant or Wake of Death at all, so if i were you rent it but do not expect one of JCVD best movies.

The Protector (2005)

Best Martial Arts movie I have ever seen

[10/10 · 20 February 2006]

Tom Yum Goong has to be one of the best Matial Arts movie i have ever seen. The acting i would have to admit was not 100% but i tell you what when it comes down to the action sequences it will blow you away to another dimension. The best thing about the movie is that their are no strings attached, all the action and fighting scenes were actually done by Tony Jaa, so basically what you see is what you get. Even though the movie is in English subtitles the storyline is pretty straight down the line and not hard to understand what is going on at all. The story line is fantastic which will also give you goose bumps all over due to the emotional bond between the elephants and Tom. If you enjoyed Ong Bak then believe you me you have not seen anything yet, Tony Jaa is definitely going to be the next best thing, step aside Jet Li and Jackie Chan, Tony Jaa is the next Bruce Lee of Martial Arts.

The Russian Specialist (2005)

Boring Movie

[1/10 · 19 February 2006]

Honestly guys this movie the Mechanik has to be one of the most boring and pathetic movies i have seen in a while. I don not know how other people can rate this as a great revenge movie, it's cheap the acting just was so bad, i think the Wiggles could have done better!!!! This movie could have been so damn good only if the acting was better and had a lot more action. I must admit though that it had a good tag line but that's about it. I think only one man could have changed this movie around would be John Woo for the Action!!!! Beyond all honesty i would not recommend this movie to anyone, for the simple fact on how bad the acting and action scenes were. You would think that by reading other users comments that this sounds like a great movie but believe you me it's not. Better wait until it comes out on TV and then watch it.
