Fever (1991)

Posted on December 23, 2023March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Back in 1991 Sam Neill and Armand Assante made Fever, an HBO TV Movie promising to be packed with action, sex and thrills. Spoiler, it wasn’t.

Bat*21 (1988)

Posted on February 11, 2023March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

The second of, what I describe as, Gene Hackman’s Missing in Action trilogy following Uncommon Valour.

Exit Speed (2008)

Posted on January 21, 2023March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Exit Speed has enough action to get you through it, there just isn’t anything to write home about.

Brigade of Death (1985)

Posted on January 14, 2023March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

An obscure and notorious nasty Brigade des moeurs or Bridge of Death is a little French thriller from 1985 with some bold moments.

Body Puzzle (1992)

Posted on December 17, 2022March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Body Puzzle rarely entertains and even has trouble maintaining interest along the way despite some fine performances and some brief moments of violence.

Dig (2022)

Posted on December 3, 2022March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Tom and Harlow Jane unite on screen. Is Dig (2022) worth digging into?

Dead Bang (1989)

Posted on November 26, 2022March 11, 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 11, 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 11, 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 11, 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.
