Taken (2008)
surprisingly brilliant!!!!!!!
I don,t know why i love this film so much....but i do!!!Its a revenge flick of which there are many peddling the same premise(Arnies Commando is a similar plot),there are plenty of spy films(Bourne/Bond)and plenty of action adventure(ad nauseum),but this one really does it for me.
The baddies are as bad as you get and believable,the violence is stylised and yet again believable, as are the gunfights and car chases.
Its Neeson that carries it though...when he tells his daughters kidnappers that he will hunt them down and kill them,the hairs on the neck stand up,and crucially,you believe him!!
It shouldn't,t be as good as it is...its all been done before and some of it defies logic(Neeson runs after a car for a few miles...and catches it!!)but it just looks so realistic,and the bad guys deserve everything they get.
Trust me,this film is a cracker...just suspend your imagination in some places and ENJOY!!!
Road Train (2010)
Undescribably bad
I honestly can,t begin to describe how bad this film is...so i won,t.Its enough to say i fast forwarded to the end after an hour to see if the ending could possibly redeem this awful film.Suffice to say it did,t.
The acting is risible,the plot the same.The characters jump from hysteria to dead calm in a matter of minutes,every decision they decide to take has you groaning in despair,not that you care for them anyway.
The plot contains every horror film cliché you could expect to see.The film is so unaware of itself,it can,t even be described as tongue in cheek.
Oh look,i did describe how bad it was....
