A good, funny, slightly naive comedy. I can't even imagine who would be cast as Brendan Fraser if not Brendan Fraser himself. Only he could play such a brutal big handsome guy with childish habits!Christopher Walken as a caring father, a husband who is always on guard for his family (and it doesn’t matter that he’s been underground for 35 years, but it’s safe) and loved ones. Honestly, when I saw the first frames of the film and Christopher Walken, I thought it was a thriller, in which Walken would play a maniac who locked his family in a bunker and would never let anyone out, I honestly didn’t expect such a good turn of events, and it was a little unusual to see him in such a **** general, there is a good idea in the film: first, the parents raised a good son, invested in him, taught him the classical treatment of women (how all this is missing now!), and then he made the parents so happy by ensuring their old **** course, the plot is fabulous, but this film can be watched again and again, it makes sense.

From Norway to AlaskaI respect Al Pacino. I support Robin Williams, especially in his dramatic endeavors. I don't like Hilary Swank, but that's a small matter. I have a lukewarm attitude toward director Christopher Nolan. But for some time I really liked the film 'Insomnia'. Until I got acquainted with the original - a Norwegian film under the same name, it seems, released in ****, the American film is professionally tailored. Well played. Its disadvantages are visible only if you know how it could have been (and it was!). And it was: **** Pacino overacts. He goes out of his way to try to prove to the viewer how much he wants to sleep. During the entire film, the Swedish actor not only didn’t yawn once, but he himself seemed to have no idea that he wasn’t getting enough sleep. And at the same time, his fatigue poured off the screen. How? A miracle, probably. In the Norwegian original, the main character is not a hero at all. Pacino again released a caricatured brave comic, a man of honor and conscience. And the scriptwriters conceived of him as an ordinary person, quite unpleasant by the way, with human emotions and shortcomings.Robin Williams is the most organic. Although again, one cannot help but notice some of the grotesqueness of his character. He plays the villain. He is obsessively unpleasant. Purely Hollywood approach - 'good character' versus 'bad character'. And God forbid the viewer confuses **** ending absolutely killed me. In “Insomnia” 2002, she aroused distrust in me for a long time. But now I know for certain that nothing like this was **** 2002's Insomnia, there is a sense **** idea that falls apart as the film progresses, and by the end there is no trace of it left at all. Why do unknown Scandinavian actors play incomparably better than Hollywood stars of the first magnitude who receive $20 million per film? Well, who said that everything in life is fair?

In fact, there are few films that teach you to love life. Achieving peace and love is a dime a dozen, but the films that instill in us a love for life can be counted on one hand. This is exactly the film 'The Last **** tells the story of a woman who can't lift her head because of her job, she has a 'wish diary', but she has no family and doesn't even know how to attract the attention of her loved one. And then she finds out that she will soon die... Of course, well aware that her life is worthless, she begins to fulfill her **** inimitable Queen Latifah played this role perfectly, for which she has great respect! The film turned out to be romantic, beautiful, and despite all the tragedy of the plot, it was very funny!After watching this film, I realized that you need to fulfill all your dreams, no matter what happens, never give up and always believe in yourself and your capabilities! The film turned out to be very lively and interesting. I recommend it for home viewing!Thanks to Wayne Wang and the entire film crew!

Probably, it’s not worth reminding once again that in 1995 “Water World” made a splash on the contrary. Even before the premiere, the film was accompanied by multiple scandals, a significant overspending of the original budget, relations on the set were, to put it mildly, strained, a few weeks before the end of filming, the director left the project, the theatrical version was stolen by filibusters a few months before the premiere ... The hundred and seventy millionth colossus crumbled at the box office , earning not much more money, which allowed him to write down one of the biggest failures in the history of cinema. However, a decade and a half later, you don’t remember such things and try to enjoy watching. Yes, it's still a larger-than-life-blockbuster that's just plain fun to watch from start to finish. Before us is the future: distant, gloomy and depressing. An apocalypse has once again happened on Earth: the polar ice has melted, turning our Earth into a large and unified ocean. Only a handful of people survived, who learned to live in the new water world. Among them is a lonely wanderer, about whom practically nothing is known: no one even knows his name, and therefore "death cannot find him." "Water World" is to some extent a remake of the immortal classic of the post-apocalyptic genre - "Road Warrior". In the picture of George Miller, the world has turned into a huge desert, and society has degraded to unthinkable limits. In the Kevin Reynolds film, the same thing happened, only instead of a sandy desert, water. There was a cooler than cool silent protagonist, driving around in the most sophisticated vehicle of the new world. There is a cooler than cool silent protagonist with the most fancy boat even by the standards of the modern world. Both Max and the Sailor were helping a peculiar group of hippies trying to build a new world, protecting them from a gang of thugs who value the unprecedented luxury item - gasoline / oil above all else. However, in the "Water World" the main character is still more advanced: if you live in a water world, then what could be cooler than a person with gills (forget about the hundreds of thousands of years of evolution required for such a fact) and able to breathe underwater , which allows him to extract one of the most valuable resources - land? "Water World" fits all the parameters of a blockbuster from the nineties: big, large-scale, noisy, senseless and merciless. But the film, which was not accepted in its time, has not lost its entertainment at all. It's still full of memorable scenes, from the jaw-dropping introduction of the protagonist and his boat to the chilling shots of the former Denver; from the most luxuriously executed and filmed attack on the atoll to a downhole ambush at oil traders; from the immortal "Adios, brothers" to the no less canonical "She is my friend"; from caricatured villains and characters to Dennis Hopper enjoying every second of his image... Verdict: Absolutely undeservedly forgotten blockbuster.

God, you're up to your neck in terrorists again, John. - They say there were terrorists at the airport? Yes, I heard that too. Usually, sequels don't often turn out great, and sometimes they are completely disappointing. But Die Hard is a completely different level and a different situation. Like it's Christmas again, terrorists again, but it's still gorgeous. More than 30 years have passed, but what does it look like. You watch, enjoy, laugh, at times you cry for a time that cannot be returned. But how awesome is that. Words cannot describe. It must be felt. I feel. The fact that the director of the tape changed did not spoil the film. John McTiernan's place was taken by Renny Harlin, who for a long time was associated with Rock Climber for me, and here his direction is very cool and memorable. At first, the more frequent scenes between John and Holly are missing, their love in the first film was very captivating, especially feelings. But in the end, of course, there will be romance and it fully satisfies my needs. John McLain again single-handedly tries to stop the bad guys, he jokes again, he has great charisma, he tries to reach people, no one believes in him, he tries to explain the obvious again. His wrestling looks still in the same breath, everything is like in childhood, only even better. Earlier in childhood, apart from wow and great, you can hardly understand the depth of what is happening. For you, it's just spectacular, after so much time you look at a lot from a completely different angle. Bruce Willis. John McLain is very happy with his jokes, his fights and shootouts. Against him, the opponent is no less tough than Hans from the first part. And their confrontation was very cool and spectacular, just like with his opponents. Bonnie Bedelia. Holly is mostly on the plane and communicates with John from there, but of course everything changes in the denouement, their feelings are still a very important component of the film. Dennis Franz. One of my favorite secondary characters. How John fought with him. How I tried to get through to him. For the time being, for a time, he seemed like an ordinary bureaucrat. Their dialogues with John are perceived as something special. Yes, and the character later changes for the better. It doesn't get so stuffy. Tom Bower. As the janitor, Marvin added to the atmosphere of the film, and he had a pleasant impression of interacting with John. William Sadler. Colonel Stewart is a cold-blooded and intelligent villain who does everything right, it's nice to look at such a tough opponent. Who can not be called a standard villain, he has everything according to plan and he is really good, it is clear that even John MacLaine recognizes his strength, it is felt. John Amos. His character is not as cool as it seemed with his first appearance. At first, he seems like a very tough professional who will stop Stuart. I was waiting for their confrontation, but soon a lot of things change in him, of course he played his role great and there are no complaints about him, but the first impression was of course better. Hard Die 2 is like a good wine. It gets better and better over the years. The atmosphere, the direction, the acting are all top notch. Watch and enjoy. And the golden 90s, and the way they filmed, dynamics, action, jokes, Christmas. Everything is very cool even after more than 30 years. And more than a worthy continuation of the cult film.

Yipee-ki-yay, **** How many times have I watched this movie 15-20? Or more? All this does not matter, since this action movie has long become a classic of the genre and it is a pleasure to watch it, even in 2022, knowing all the dialogues and storylines by heart, watching it is very cool, and every time you review you find something new for yourself. In my childhood, there were a lot of action movies, there was plenty to choose from, but Die Hard stands out in the variety that it was before. There is really a very suitable script, a chic protagonist, a smart villain, of course, amazing directing by John McTiernan, excellent dialogues, shootouts, explosions, everything even now looks very cool. 28 million for those times is a really solid amount, and for me the film is visually very cool, what is the final moment between Hans and Takagi worth. Even watching this moment now you are surprised by the visual component of the film. John McClain is probably one of the most beloved action heroes I've ever seen. Fearless, confident, cheerful, perky, many epithets can be picked up. Loved and love to watch him create problems for Hans and company. And his attitude towards his wife always looked very romantic. Bruce Willis, Bruce has a large number of roles on his account, but it was the role of a cop that he liked the most, who is trying to save his wife and other people from terrorists in a foreign city. His phrases and his corporate identity are of course very pleasing even after so many years. Watching him fight Hans Gruber is a real treat. Alan Rickman, Hans Gruber is a combination of cruelty and intelligence. Hans is very cruel, he leaves no chance for his victims, he is good with his smile. At the same time, he is very well educated and knows how to think very well. Such a villain is interesting to watch. His plan is quite standard, but the execution is incomparable. Probably after Harry Potter, this is another role of Alan where he is truly incomparable, although it was still very far from Harry Potter. Alan was going to play the bad guys. And do not say that he is English. He's gotten into his character so well that you actually believe he's from West Germany. Bonnie Bedelia, in the role of John's wife, looks very impressive, she has her own story and her own motivation and she is connected with her career, but since the appearance of John, much has changed and she herself becomes different. Although their relationship was not too frequent, in the end everything looked quite passionate and romantic. Their storyline has always been my favorite. And when I watched the film again, I realized that their love is much deeper than I thought before. And John's confession to Al Powell confirms this. Reginald VelJohnson, at first Al seems to be an ordinary police sergeant, of which there were really a lot. But everything changes when he began to talk to John on the radio. Their interaction was the highlight of the film. They had so much warmth and sincerity in a very stressful time. Al quickly becomes attached to John, even when he didn't know his real name or his purpose. Al is without a doubt one of the best secondary characters in this movie. Alexander Godunov, probably one of the coolest villains of this film, you can’t tell from him that he comes from the Soviet Union, his appearance really looks like a German one. Very aggressive, angry and uncompromising. His obsession with revenge throughout the film was very satisfying, and their final confrontation with John looked very cool. Deboro White is damn good as a limousine driver. He has little playing time, but his every appearance brings a smile and a great mood. Clarence Gilyard Jr., I always associated with the sheriff from Cool Walker, thought that playing goodies suits him very well, but Theo's role is completely different, he is cheerful, smart, well versed in computers. Very cool role, I was surprised that he can play bad guys so cool, his laughter at the beginning of the film added zest to the hero. Die Hard is not easy nostalgia for an amazing time. This is a great action movie with well-thought-out characters, with a great main character, with a chic villain, with a lot of equally cool secondary characters. The action movie, which has long become a classic of the genre, does not lose its relevance even now. It was a real pleasure to watch this movie after many years. Forever!!! 10 of 10 P.S. It's okay, I'm a cop. Trust me, I've been doing this for eleven years.

In my opinion, The Fugitive is one of the coolest and most spectacular detective thrillers of the 90s, combining a great production, a chic cast and a great story that takes the viewer on a more than two-hour film journey. Successful surgeon Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) loses everything in an instant after he is accused of killing his wife. In an effort to prove his innocence, Kimble escapes from the prison bus and begins his own investigation. The only thing is that he is being followed by a group of federal marshals, led by Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones), who is experienced in searching for criminals, who can even find a needle in a haystack. Director Andrew Davis, for whom The Fugitive was a terrific success (neither earlier nor later works were so successful), managed to put on a film amazing in its tension, presenting, albeit as old as the world, a story about an undeservedly accused and trying to clear his name man , in bright colors. Tommy Lee Jones played absolutely amazing, perfectly performing the image of a federal marshal, for whom the main thing is a sober mind and cold calculation, and emotions are relegated far into the background. This is clearly demonstrated by Jones' "I don't care" after Ford's character told him he didn't kill his wife. Even with a trapped man in front of him, practically confessing to him, Sam Gerard does his duty first and foremost. And it is possible to figure out who the killer is after the arrest. Tommy Lee Jones rightfully deserved an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and his hero, Sam Gerard, turned out to be a memorable, charismatic, tenacious and cold person. But damn smart and insightful. In general, if we talk about Tommy Lee, he always succeeds in the role of law enforcement officers. Probably the whole point is in the appearance of the actor, which is conducive to itself and causes a certain feeling of calmness, if there is such a person next to you. In addition to one statuette, "The Fugitive" received a bunch of nominations, among which was the best film (but then "Schindler's List" was awarded this title). The film actually turned out to be chic in the performance of their immediate duties and the acting troupe and the film crew. Great merit in the quality of the film belongs to the cameraman Michael Chapman, who worked repeatedly with Martin Scorsese before The Fugitive. This camera shop mastodon put his eye to the lens, filming such works as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, American Boy (all Scorsese), Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys and Roger Spottiswoode's Fire to Kill. "The Fugitive" is a classic plot of a story about the police chasing a bad guy, from the very beginning of which the viewer empathizes with the protagonist, who turned out to be a hostage of circumstances. Throughout the film, the viewer will have to deal with this crime together with Ford's hero, trying to understand the truth of the killer's motives. Due to this, the film is watched in one breath and even despite the duration of 130 minutes, it does not cause a feeling of boredom, because the investigation process (set and executed great) keeps you in suspense and does not lose interest. However, watch for you. I do not impose my opinion on anyone. Enjoy watching.

This year the film turned twenty-seven years old and a new acquaintance with the tape is timed not only to this date, but also to a complete acquaintance with the filmography of Michael Bay. The debut of the future cosplayer James Cameron, not in the style of directing, but in terms of the atmosphere on the set, happened on the film 'Bad Boys', with which they ran for more than one month before launching it into production. The debut turned out, we will analyze it in more detail later. And today we will review 'The Rock', considered by critics to be Michael Bay's best film, only 'The Island' got closer, but this is debatable. Next, I will share my impressions of a new acquaintance and some thoughts regarding this work. Get your drinks ready, let's get started. Narrative criterion or narrative. The plot revolves around a US Army general who stole dangerous gas rockets and took him hostage in Alcatraz. In order to resolve the situation, the FBI connects Mason, who managed to leave the impregnable fortress, and chemist Stanley Goodspeed. The scenario is dedicated to detailing the process of saving innocent victims and preventing a global catastrophe. Action movies are not always distinguished by the branching of the script, but there is a difficult moral choice here. Globally, a film about how the army takes care of its soldiers in peacetime, withholding social benefits. Veterans of military conflicts cannot find themselves in peacetime. Post-traumatic stress disorder and corresponding phase shifts develop. In the film, a man of great intelligence went to the crime, which makes the audience of this action think about different facets of patriotism: people who love their country and watchdogs who follow orders. The latter from this point of view, in my opinion, look like absolute evil. The relationship between Goodspeed and Mason cannot be ignored either. Both became reluctant partners, both sometimes behave like old spouses, the best badi-movie films and the director's creative debut breathed. Visual criterion or technical support of the tape. Since we have a blockbuster in front of us, we should start with such a moment as 'entertainment'. And last but not least, it is formed by camera work. John Schwartzman sets the frame in such a way that the viewer savored each explosion. It should also be noted the staging of action scenes (fights, chases, gunfights), and one of Michael Bay's iconic tricks - a 360-degree camera tour of the faces of the main characters. The visual storytelling is also backed up by a cool soundtrack and composing work. After all, none other than Hans Zimmer composed here. Each melody sounds on time and fills each frame with the necessary atmosphere, by increasing the suspense and the level of dramaturgy. And a corresponding note about the replenishment of the music collection and wallpapers for the desktop. I am more than impressed with the acting. Nicolas Cage is still in good shape here, and although the role of Goodspeed does not require a deep immersion in character, the unbearably talented tribe reveals the humorous side of his character well. The voice of Stanislav Kontsevich suits him. Sean Connery is already a master of screen art here and is trying on the skin of an abandoned agent and how no one could understand the motivation of the main villain, but he has a slightly different temper and it is felt. He justifies his every appearance in the frame with charismatic views. Even David Morse was able to get in here. And even playing the villain managed to show reasonableness. And to complete the block about dubbing actors, let's mention that here was one of the first works of Alexander Bargman, Valery Kukhareshin wrote David Morse and, surprisingly, the union happened. As a conclusion. After the success of this film, Bay began to be trusted with big budgets. Here is the perfect combination of a thriller about the military and a spectacular action movie, the third act is especially rich in action. Special thanks to the creators for the presented emotions. In addition to all the typical signs of a blockbuster, the ideological message here is correct, and the acting is excellent. I recommend it to fans of Michael Bay and connoisseurs of action movies. All health, peace and good cinema!

This movie is inaccurate historically. Dahomey was enslaving Africans before the intercontinental slave trade began and they continued to do so even after Britain outlawed it in 1840. The Agojie were not heroes by any measure. They killed slaves as part of their training. There are accounts of them executing hundreds of men women and children during royal funerals and religious rites. They never willingly gave up the slave trade. They were forced to do so by the French.
