Movies starring Andy Garcia

The Untouchables (1987)

119 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

I have always had a penchant for gangster movies, especially those that are based in era's past rather than in a modern setting, so it is no surprise that I am particularly fond of Brian De Palma's exceptional masterpiece "Th...

Black Rain (1989)

125 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

From a simple entertainment point of view "Black Rain" is just average, you could almost say cliche with a cop who skirts the edges of being dirty. In fact whilst it stars Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia the best thing about ...

The Godfather: Part III (1990)

162 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery      

16 years is a long time not just in life but also when it comes to the movie world and sequels. A lot can change in 16 years, what audiences want, filming styles and of course characters will have grown older. And so I come t...

Internal Affairs (1990)

115 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

As a storyline I don't actually think much to "Internal Affairs" as the whole dirty cop / Internal Affairs story has been done before and since and frankly a lot of what goes on in "Internal Affairs" is routine. But then as a...

Accidental Hero (1992)

117 mins     Comedy, Drama      

There is no definitive time length that a movie should last but generally comedies which come in between 90 and 100 minutes appear to work better than those which are longer. As such at 117 minutes "Accidental Hero" or just "...

When a Man Loves a Woman (1994)

126 mins     Drama, Romance      

It is strange how the look and the cast of a movie can mislead you into thinking it's going to be something completely different. When "When a Man Loves a Woman" was released back in 1994, I was expecting a cutesy, cuddly rom...

Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1995)

115 mins     Crime, Drama      

The early 1990s saw Quentin Tarantino shoot to fame with his own quirky, snappy style of movie making and unsurprisingly it saw other directors both emulating him and trying to do things a little bit different. It brings me t...

Desperate Measures (1998)

100 mins     Action , Drama, Thriller      

The good news is that "Desperate Measures" starts well, with intrigue, a sense of thrill and anticipation of what will come next. It shows moments of ingenuity as it lays out an emotional storyline about the policeman forced ...

Swing Vote (1999)

90 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

It was an interesting experience watching made for TV movie "Swing Vote" because for once the only thing I knew about the movie was that it starred Andy Garcia. I hadn't bothered to find out what it was about, whether a drama...

Ocean's Eleven (2001)

112 mins     Comedy, Crime, Thriller      

Remakes are a dodgy area, often not wanted by movie lovers because too often they tamper with a much loved Hollywood classic and balls it right up. It's rare that they get it right but in the case of the "Ocean's Eleven" rema...

Ocean's Twelve (2004)

120 mins     Comedy, Crime, Thriller      

The first "Ocean's Eleven" was a surprisingly good movie, especially as it was a remake so a sequel was pretty much anticipated. Well "Ocean's Twelve" comes along full of the impressive visuals, star studded cast, humour and ...

Smokin' Aces (2006)

109 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

There is one word which sums up "Smokin' Aces" quite perfectly and that is trying. It is both trying to a snappy, darkly funny action movie in a Tarantino meets Guy Ritchie style but because it doesn't quite manage it, it end...

Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)

91 mins     Adventure , Comedy      

Putting things into perspective "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" is a movie for children, young children who probably won't get any of the jokes but will just laugh at talking dogs and over pampered pooches. And as such "Beverly Hil...

La Linea - The Line (2009)

95 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

La Linea - The Line (2009) Ray Liotta stars as an addassin sent to Tijuana to eliminate to eliminate the new leader of a drus cartel...

5 Days of War (2011)

113 mins     Action , Drama, War      

"5 Days of War" starts by informing us about the number of war correspondents who have died in the past decade and I thought that this was going to be a movie which focussed on the dangers that these brave journalists put the...

Christmas in Conway (2013)

100 mins     Drama, Romance, TV Movie      

Movie Review - Christmas in Conway (2013) with his wife, Suzy (Mary-Louise Parker), having returned home to die, Duncan (Andy Garcia) is desperate to recreate the night he proposed by erecting a Ferris wheel in the back yard....

Rio 2 (2014)

101 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

I wasn't overly fussed by the first "Rio" and said something along the lines of it being a good animation for children but lacking that extra something to make it work for adults at the same time. Now in a good way I can say ...

Let's Be Cops (2014)

104 mins     Comedy, Crime      

"Let's Be Cops" is a good movie, actually it is an okay movie but it would have been a good movie if it had been more 90 minutes rather than 104 minutes because those extra 14 minutes might not sound much but for me they make...
