Uncommon Valour (1983)

Posted on January 28, 2023May 10, 2026 by garethmyles

There is no shortage of missing in action prisoner of war movies from the 80’s, however, featuring a terrific cast and a director of note Uncommon Valour is far from your typical ‘Nam action.

The Savage Three (1975)

I found a lot to like in The Savage Three, however, initially I walked away a little cold.

The Tough Ones (1976)

Posted on August 20, 2022May 10, 2026 by garethmyles

The Tough Ones is one of the best known Italian “Poliziotteschi” thrillers and for good reason. Prepare yourself for a gushy blast of love from a fan

The Getaway (1994)

Posted on August 13, 2022May 10, 2026 by garethmyles

The biggest take away from The Getaway is that it is average entertainment and really isn’t shocking that it has been forgotten about over the years.

Trancers 6 (2002)

Posted on August 6, 2022May 10, 2026 by garethmyles

It’s time to look at Trancers 6. This time a fresh face, an attempt to revive the franchise and some humour at Deth’s expense. What could go wrong?

Trancers 5: Sudden Deth (1994)

Posted on July 30, 2022May 10, 2026 by garethmyles

It pains me to think that such a limp approach was taken to Trancers 4 and 5 following the strength of Trancers III.

Trancers 4: Jack of Swords (1994)

Posted on July 23, 2022May 10, 2026 by garethmyles

Following the vastly stronger third outing Trancers 4 Jack of Swords is merely a little more watchable than the second outing.

Trancers III: Deth Lives (1992)

Posted on July 16, 2022May 10, 2026 by garethmyles

For the second entry to suck it comes as a pleasant surprise that this follow-up manages to kick some Squid butt!

Trancers II: The Return of Jack Deth (1991)

Posted on July 9, 2022May 10, 2026 by garethmyles

At first glance Trancers II: The Return of Jack Deth looks to be an awesome sequel to a perfect low budget sci-fi hit. Is it?

The Specialist (1994)

Posted on July 5, 2022May 10, 2026 by garethmyles

Really this should have had a budget of around £10 million and starred a combination of the video stars of the time. The bigger glosser look doesn’t help the film or dissuade from the lack of substance.
