LONDON HAS FALLEN

Full disclosure, I was not a fan of OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, the previous film exploring the victim/savior relationship between President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) and crack Secret Service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler).  Thus, I was not hoping for much when I approached LONDON HAS FALLEN. The trick to staying sane in this business is… Read More »

THE TRANSPORTER: (not) REFUELED

Gareth Davis and Iko Uwais Undertake THE RAID 2: BERENDAL

The one question writer/director Gareth Evans hates is the one about how a Welshman became the leading light of Indonesian cinema. So I didn’t ask. There was too much to discuss anyway about his masterpiece, THE RAID 2: BERENDAL.  According to both men, it was all about the details, From choreographing a stunning prison riot that… Read More »

THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY

THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY

There is one overwhelming question about THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY. Why isn’’t this a better flick? It certainly has all the right elements. The cast, led by Henry Cavill and Sigourney Weaver, are solidly committed. The story is the kind that Hitchcock loved. An innocent man plunged into a life-and-death situation not of his… Read More »
