A simple if entertaining action film. A plot that has been done quite a few times now, this time based around a group of assassins taking over a small town every 7 years for a battle royale to find the last one standing. Tons of action in this, some good fights, chase scenes and stunts and quite a bit of blood. The standard of the cast including Ving Rhames, Ian Somerhalder of Vampire Diaries, and the pace of the film raise it above average. Very enjoyable eye fodder!

Brilliant! Utterly brilliant!
So I admire the writers and directors for this movie almost as much as the actors and actresses. Despite absolutely remarkable performances the storyline for me was a little bit of a long shot. The whole plotline of splitting a meteor in half with a bomb and it perfectly going either side of the earth. I mean come on!
That being said, the performances from actors like Bruce Willis, ving rhames and Ben Affleck all brought this film to life.
As for the soundtrack, it went down in history almost straight away as one of the greatest power ballads to date.

Bringing Out The Cage
Bring Out The Dead- is a very underrated movie with a great cast and directed by one of the all time greatest directors- Martin Scorsese.
The Plot: After a disheartening and haunting career wears him down, New York City paramedic Frank Pierce (Nicolas Cage) begins to collapse under the strain of saving lives and witnessing deaths. Through the course of a few nights, three co-workers (John Goodman, Ving Rhames, Tom Sizemore) accompany Pierce as he grasps for sanity and pushes to be fired. Before Pierce falls off the edge, he still has a hope when he forms a friendship with a victim's daughter (Patricia Arquette).
Its delusional, its paranoid, its suspenseful, its thrilling and overall its a good movie.
Highly recordmend watching this movie.

I'm writing this in early 2021.
I don't think I'd seen this film since the early noughties.
If you asked me what I remember of it, I probably would have said
Thandie Newton
Masks
Slow motion. Lot and lots of slow motion.
And that is actually pretty accurate: directed by John Woo, this has an overabundance of Slo-Mo shots and has Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames both reprising their role from the first film.
It's also slightly uncomfortable watching this now (with the world still in the grip of a global pandemic), as the driver for the plot is - guess what - a deadly virus getting loose.
(oh, and in one of cinemas great 'what if' : I believe that Dougray Scott had to turn down the role of Wolverine as he was busy filming this)
