La morte risale a ieri sera (1970)

Posted on June 29, 2024March 20, 2026 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, 2024March 11, 2026 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, 2024March 11, 2026 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.

Renegades (2017)

Posted on June 8, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Renegades has been sitting in my “to watch” pile for about a number of years.
Written by Luc Besson and Richard Wenk (Taken and The Equaliser), there should be some treasure to be found in this story or Navy Seals looking for lost… treasure.

Top Line (1988)

Posted on June 1, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Top Line is a mess and it’s a great shame as there are some great ideas early on for a spirited adventure before things take a ridiculous sci-fi turn in the last 20 minutes.

Hot Stuff (1979)

Posted on May 25, 2024March 11, 2026 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.

The Squeeze (1977)

Posted on May 18, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

The Squeeze from 1977 is really a combination of the talent involved to keep things entertaining and thrilling. A forgotten British thriller that needs to be resurrected!

American Rampage (1989)

Posted on May 11, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

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

Shallow Grave (1987)

Posted on April 27, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

All involved deserve more credit than they got for Shallow Grave as it’s a solid winner that benefits from its cheap feel and it is honestly a pretty unexpected success.

Rangers (2000)

Posted on April 13, 2024March 11, 2026 by garethmyles

Rangers (2000) stitches together a direct-to-video thriller with quality action sequences from the bigger, better movies. The results are craptacular!
