Stunning offbeat hitman movie
This is a real gem - a cool, Eastern influenced assassin movie. It has a great performance from Forest Whitaker and some stunning action, as well as a heart and soul that place it well above the above hitman movie. This is a brilliant film, strongly recommended.

Wall Street's reptile ethics
"...ladies and gentleman, that greed -- for lack of a better word -- is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind." Time to dust off an old classic! Well not so old. After all, the decade ...

Awesome...Christopher Walken, chilling and complicated...
I recently watched this 1990 gangster thriller again and was blown away. I had seen it when I was 17 when it came out and at the time didn't really take note of the beautifully subtle performace of Christopher Walken as Frank White, a recently parolled Kingpin who immediatley takes control of the turf he left behind when he was inside. Fantastic direction from Abel Ferrera, who seems to ...

You Get What You Pay For
OK, maybe this should be obvious, but... There are no special features on this disk--must be the earliest release--and, let's be real, that's always been one of the best things about this format. Yeah, good movie, story, actors, acting, but bite the bullet and buy the director's cut with all the goodies.

WOW!
It had been quite a while since I had seen True Romance - my VHS tape warped - and I had forgotten just how good it is. That said, those who have never seen it should be warned that the film is what a friend of mine calls "HARD R-rated". In other words, it is explicit in every sense of an R-rated movie. The director's cut has few changes that I noticed from the VHS edition I had, with one very ...

Scorcese and DeNiro's Best Work - How can a film about such ugly people be so beautiful?
This definitely isn't your average feel-good, stereotypical, underdog boxing movie. After all, Sly Stallone was the sole owner to the keys to that kingdom four years prior w/ his beloved "Rocky". In fact, this film really isn't about boxing at all (although there's a plethora of savage, short fight scenes throughout), its intentions and focus are much more intricate. "Raging Bull" is a ...

Good For All
This recount of the life and times of Frank Hopkins is fun to watch, thought provoking, and heartwarming. Even if one has not lived such an exciting life, it is easy to relate to some of the personal trials while wishing for such fun. As the story evolves around a 3,000 mile race, Hopkins' Mustang is clearly the underdog. Hopkins and Hildago (the paint Mustang) must each face the harsh ...

I love 'The Juror'!
Demi Moore is great as a Bohemian single mom and struggling artist living alone with her 12-year-old son (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) in a converted barn in a country suburb of New York. When she becomes a juror in a murder case against a major Mafia boss, her peaceful life is turned upside down by a sociopathic hitman's (Alec Baldwin) obsession with her. Though she knows the mob boss is guilty, she ...

It's not great but...2.5-3ish
Alright, so it's a low budget horror movie, but it's NOT awful. It's NOT The Hills Have Eyes or anything. It's got gore, it's got death, it's got inbred type hicks in the woods chasing city kids and scaring the heck outta them. It drags on at some points but it has MORE than just a couple kills, as the other reviewer said. There's decapitation, and more, not to spoil it too much. It's not so ...

Studio 54 meets Equus
A stunning, appropriately photogenic murder mystery in which a controversial photographer (Dunaway) apparently sees the murders of people she knows as they happen. Suspicion is evenly distributed between the titular protagonist, her catty agent (Auberjonois), her driver with a violent criminal record (Dourif), the detective investigating her case (Jones), her drunken loser of an ex-husband ...

More Than Just A Great Movie
I won't write a lengthy review about the actors and whether or not they accurately portray the real life characters. Most of the other reviewers have already done that. I just think this is a great movie that rates right up ther with "The Godfather" and "GoodFellas". And if you've ever had any dealings with the Feds, you'll recognize the way this typically egotisitcal selfrighteous prosecutor ...

Good Gangster Movie
Robert De Niro is one of my favorite actors and I especially like him in anything criminal. He's so cool in this movie. It's an excellent DVD whether or not you like De Niro.
