The Jackal (1997)
Why bother?
Why the hell did he waste time spraying the vehicle, timing how long it took to rinse off the "paint", then re-spray it again as a means of deceit, if he planned on dumping the car, applying a poison to it and fleeing? (A poison, by the way, sooooo toxic, that a mere 0.5 seconds exposure of the fingertips to it, caused one of the chasers to foam at the mouth and drop dead within about 5 seconds, yet Bruce required only rubber gloves and to hold his breath to apply it (wasn't worried about the drift at all)). Pullllleeeease.
On the topic of Richard Gere's Irish accent, I am incredibly critical when it comes to actors attempting other accents, but I think Richard did admirably, and I'm not one of his biggest fans.
The Book of Revelation (2006)
This film is stunning.
Well it certainly stunned me - I can not believe that someone made another Australian film that's even more boring than Somersault. The story is implausible, the characters, with the exception of Friels' and Mailman's characters, are unlikeable and wooden, Tom Long possesses a VAST array of facial expressions: happy and not happy, and the "sex scenes", which could have been very confronting and disturbingly erotic, would have been at home in a low-budget porno flick.
This is the first movie I have seen in 30 years of cinema-going that has had me on the edge of my seat....ready to get up and leave.
The best thing about this movie is the promotional poster.
