La morte risale a ieri sera (1970)

Posted on June 29, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Death occurred last night a (slightly flawed) police procedural with a collection of fantastic performances. There are some unique ideas, adult themes and fun moments throughout.

No Contest (1995)

Posted on June 22, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

You know what? No Contest is okay. Sure it’s a very blatant in taking it’s inspiration from Die Hard but scratches the itch and does a few things rather well that honestly surprised me.

Mean Tricks (1992)

Posted on June 15, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Mean Tricks has the prospect of Napier playing a tough, hard drinking cop with a plot involving prostitute rings and directed by Umberto Lenzi, the opportunities for a trashy outing had never been higher.

Hot Stuff (1979)

Posted on May 25, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Hot Stuff sounds amazing, a bunch of Burt Reynolds’ co-stars make an action comedy about the fuzz setting up a fencing operation to catch crooks, based on actual events and nothing too serious.

American Rampage (1989)

Posted on May 11, 2024November 2, 2025 by garethmyles

American Rampage! WHAT a movie this is! I’m sure it will be spectacular if they ever finish it.

A Special Cop In Action (1976)

Posted on March 30, 2024November 2, 2025 by garethmyles

The final instalment of the Inspector Betti series sees Merli in Milan to track down some kidnapped children, negotiate their release and deal with the group responsible. Simple.

Airborne (1998)

Posted on March 10, 2024November 2, 2025 by garethmyles

Steve Guttenberg tried and failed to reinvent himself as an action hero in the 90s with movies like Airborne.

Deadly Impact (1984)

Posted on March 2, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

“Deadly Impact,” an action film mirroring “48 Hours,” features Bo Svenson as a tough cop dishing out justice alongside Fred Williamson. Directed by Fabrizio De Angelis, the movie boasts impressive stunts and action sequences, though hindered by everything else it’s a heart-filled tribute to action movies of its era.

Dominion (1995)

Posted on January 20, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

Dominion felt like a cheap knock off of Shoot to Kill (or Deadly Pursuit) with Brad Johnston fitting in as he really does cut a Tom Berenger-lite look. But is this a load of old nonsense?

Malibu Express (1985)

Posted on January 15, 2024January 3, 2025 by garethmyles

I expected Malibu Express to have glistening golden skin warmly drenched in sunlight, much like you might have in an episode of Baywatch. It does not.
