Dead Bang (1989)

Posted on November 26, 2022March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Dead Bang took me by surprise and I really enjoyed discovering it. It’s a bit dated, however, it works nicely as a quality 80’s action romp.

Blue Steel (1990)

Posted on November 19, 2022March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Blue Steel seems to have disappeared from view and recognition walking a tight line between cop thriller and psychological drama

Fall (2022)

Posted on November 12, 2022March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

The more you think about the scenario used in Fall (2022) you realise how perfectly unique it is to generate raw terror.

Beast (2022)

Posted on October 29, 2022March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

There is no hiding my excitement for this creature feature. Having endured the disappointing Endangered Species on Netflix recently my thirst for an old fashioned, Human vs. Beast was wet, but not quenched.

10 to Midnight (1983)

Posted on October 8, 2022March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Bronson plays an ageing detective, taking on a younger by-the-book protégé. Together they must track down a mysterious serial killer who is targeting young ladies.

Freebie and the Bean (1974)

Posted on July 27, 2022March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Freebie and The Bean followed a simple but robust plot-line that allows for the cops to have the time for some interesting misadventures whilst the story carries on in the background.

Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe

Posted on June 29, 2022March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

It was nice to spend some time with these two again and on a new adventure. This is almost a forgotten slice of culture and taking stock over the years I realise I was a bigger fan of Beavis and Butthead than I thought.

Cop (1988)

Posted on June 18, 2022March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Cop isn’t action focused, it is entirely a character study of a desperate, corrupt man painted around the background of catching a killer and the wake of upset he leaves in the pursuit.

Deep Space (1988)

Posted on June 18, 2022March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

The unavailability of Deep Space during the 90’s left me conjuring imagery in my head of what the film might be like… and I was way off.

Fast Money (1996)

Posted on June 11, 2022March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Fast Money has an interesting cast with Yancy Butler, Matt McCoy, John Ashton and the late Trevor Goddard keep this from being just another direct-to-video crapfest.
