Almodovar's sixth movie is the one that brought him properly to international attention, but it's clear that his distinctive style was already well-developed by this point: there is the same skilful combination of suspense-movie tropes with sometimes-outrageous melodrama, and a sense of narrative playfulness.



Very strong performances from Antonio Banderas and Carmen Maura in particular, although the script seems to lack some of the deftness and confidence Almodovar would show in later movies - the shift from relationship drama to thriller isn't quite as well handled as one could hope for, and some elements of the story really do strain credibility. Nevertheless, an accomplished and engaging movie.

Taut thriller carried by Joseph Gordon Lovitt. Great sense of claustrophobia (0 more)
Not a lot of action (0 more)
This small film does a great job of quickly setting up the suspense as a plane gets hijacked and the crew try to fight them off. Just about the entire film is shot in the cockpit and the result is an addition of claustrophobia to the precedings. The movie doesn't really have a lot of action, but it maintains it's tense atmosphere throughout, and Lovitt does a great job carrying the film. The story isnt anything to write home about, but it does it's job and holds the movie together.

Find Your Love One
Breakdown- is a intense dramatic suspense thriller.

The plot: On their cross-country drive, a married couple, Jeff (Kurt Russell) and Amy Taylor (Kathleen Quinlan), experience car trouble after an accident. Stranded in the New Mexico desert, the two catch a break when a passing truck driver, Red Barr (J.T. Walsh), offers to drive Amy to a nearby café to call for help. Meanwhile, Jeff is able to fix the car and make his way to the café, only to find his wife missing and Barr claiming ignorance. Jeff then begins a frenzied search for Amy.

I would recordmend watching this film.

Stop This Plane
Non-Stop- is a really good action suspense drama thriller. Liam Neeson is really good in this.
 
The plot: Alcoholic and world-weary, U.S. Air Marshal Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) lost his passion for his work long ago. Even though lives are potentially at stake during every flight, he sees the assignment as just a desk job. However, his "ordinary day at the office" becomes a high-stakes crisis during a flight to London. Marks receives a series of text messages demanding that he instruct the airline to transfer $150 million into an offshore account, or a passenger will die every 20 minutes.

I highly recordmend it.
