Having been unimpressed with first series of The Wire, I only started watching this, the second series, due to the endless critical praise that I kept seeing every time I picked up a newspaper. And I'm glad I did. The second series of The Wire is a huge improvement on the first. The story is deliberately slow to get into its stride but nevertheless is compelling from the opening credits to the final fade. This is a high quality Police drama which shows the good and the bad in everyone; the criminals, the stevedores and the Police all have very human qualities, both strengths and weaknesses, and the divide between crime and order is a realistically hazy one. A highly realistic drama showing the pitfalls of Police investigative techniques, the ... Read More:

What we have here is an average attempt at manifesting one of the possible and likely threats of our time; Terrorism. To much of an extent, the film captures this perfectly, and we learn how such people operate, they're motives etc etc... However, the film fails in its layout - the way it keeps switching from Denzel and co's personal issue's and feelings to the job in hand leaves you feeling out-of-place.

It should also be noted that Bruce Willis and a helicopter with missile cannons don't mix, when it comes to realism. The result is borderline laughable as he struts about in his army uniform.

Though its been directed and presented well, a little more thought into making the plot real would have benefited the film. Taking ... Read More:

I loved the book and I liked the movie. Certain things that made the book what it was were lost in the adaptation to the big screen but I disagree with another reviewer that the story is silly- it's entertaining and fast paced.

To sum up: a respected psyciatric doctor who specialises in working with children and young people is asked by his colleague to help a very disturbed young woman. Suddenley, his daughter is kidnapped and the men who have her want a code from the disturbed young woman.

Michael Douglas is good, as is Sean Bean. Brittney Murphy is less good as the disturbed patient.

It's not superb, but it is enjoyable.

Used Price: £4.00


Let's start with the beautiful: magnificent use of the African landscape, an enchanting musical score, the touching relationship depicted by Vicent Perez and Liam Aiken.

The controversial: based on the true story of a European woman remaining in Africa despite various tragedies, it raises many important questions about the confrontation of personal project vs family that are not sufficiently approached - extremely interesting food for thought and a wonderful trigger for post-movie discussion.

The good: brilliant performances by all actors, with my special preference going to Eve Saint (remember her with Marlon Brando way back?), Liam Aiken and Daniel Craig (in a small but highly accomplished role, as usual). Perez and Basinger are good at the ... Read More:
