Passenger 57 (1992)

84 mins     Action , Thriller      

"Passenger 57" is what I refer to as a ready meal movie; they come in different varieties but at the end of the day they less than memorably fill a gap. As such with "Passenger 57" we get various stock situations the former c...

White Men Can't Jump (1992)

115 mins     Comedy, Drama, Sport      

Attitude. Attitude. Attitude. Everything about "White Men Can't Jump" is to do with attitude from the opening scene as Billy arrives on the scene and talks to a gospel singing group of old guys to the action of the game play ...

Demolition Man (1993)

115 mins     Action , Crime, Sci-Fi      

Released in 1993 "Demolition Man" is your typical Sylvester Stallone action romp which has a thin storyline, plenty of action and some corny dialogue. But "Demolition Man" is entertaining as are Sylvester Stalone and Wesley S...

Rising Sun (1993)

125 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery      

The first time I watched "Rising Sun" was a couple of years after it was released and remember that at the time I enjoyed it. Now having re-watched it some 15 years later and I can't say that I enjoyed it so much and found my...

To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (1995)

109 mins     Comedy      

I hate to say this but "To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar" is one of those movies which ends up more amusingly curious than anything else. I say amusingly curious because the fun of having Patrick Swayze, Wesley...

Money Train (1995)

110 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

I am trying to make sense as to what "Money Train" is and by that I also mean how it came to be. So to start with it was clear that after the success of Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson in "White Men Can't Jump" that those b...

The Fan (1996)

116 mins     Drama, Sport, Thriller      

I have to admit I am a fan of sports movies, especially ones which revolve around baseball, so when, in 1996, "The Fan" came out starring Hollywood legend Robert de Niro and Wesley Snipes I knew it was a movie I would have to...

Murder at 1600 (1997)

107 mins     Action , Crime, Drama, Thriller      

For a movie which is such a stereotypical, run of the mill cop thriller, there is something entertaining about "Murder at 1600" starring Wesley Snipes and Diane Lane. Nearly everything about it is completely predictable from ...

Blade (1998)

120 mins     Action , Fantasy, Horror      

I know "Blade" has been knocking about in comic books for a long time and the movie was released back in 1997 but wouldn't it be fun to transpose the character in to the more recent "Twilight" movies, it would have saved a lo...

U.S. Marshals (1998)

131 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

Whilst Harrison Ford was the star of "The Fugitive" it was Tommy Lee Jones who made the biggest impression with his cool performance as the no messing Marshal Samuel Gerard. Ironically after you have sat through the 2 hours a...

The Art of War (2000)

117 mins     Action , Thriller      

"The Art of War" really only has one big problem and that is the way it's been put together because if you take all the components, the story, the acting, the cast, the action and so on it all works. But when someone put it t...

Undisputed (2002)

96 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

"Undisputed" has a few flaws but the major one; the one which causes the most issues is that it lacks depth. Now that may sound stupid seeing that the story to "Undisputed" revolves around boxing matches in prison and so at i...

Blade II (2002)

117 mins     Action , Horror, Sci-Fi      

"Blade II" could be described as "Blade" but bigger and badder with more action and more special affects and a lot more blood and gore. As such it is a success it delivers the sort of escapist vampire slaying action it sets o...

Unstoppable (2004)

96 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

Not to be confused with the more recent Denzel Washington movie, "Unstoppable" from 2004 saw Wesley Snipes playing a former special ops CIA agent who is mistaken for someone else and drawn into a high stakes drug deal involvi...

Blade: Trinity (2004)

113 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

I was one of the few who wasn't overly impressed by "Blade II" as whilst it delivered plenty of in your face action the lack of storyline spoiled it for me. As such I didn't expect a great deal from the third movie "Blade: Tr...

Chaos (2005)

106 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

Chaos Theory - the theory which suggests that even random events have some sort of order. "Chaos" a movie which mentions Chaos Theory but really is just another action movie. To be fair "Chaos" is entertaining, it is well cas...

7 Seconds (2005)

96 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

Wesley Snipes has screen presence, it's good job to because with out Snipes delivering cool in "7 Seconds" there is nothing about this direct to DVD movie worth mentioning. In fact trying to make sense of "7 Seconds" is nearl...

The Marksman (2005)

95 mins     Action , Adventure , Thriller      

When you watch as many movies as I do it is not unusual to find yourself battling the urge to quit on one because of it being so bad but so far I have only done that twice. Within the first 5 minutes of "The Marksman" startin...

The Detonator (2006)

91 mins     Action , Thriller      

So there we have it Steven Seagal's "The Detonator", nope wait a minute it was Jean-Claude Van Damme, no that's not right it was Wesley Snipes. Yes we are in the world of direct to video action where Snipes plays a lone agent...
