Movies starring Embeth Davidtz

Shattered Promises (1992)

180 mins     Drama, Thriller, TV Movie      

I reckon I must have been about 2 hours into "Shattered Promises", or "Deadly Matrimony" as it is also known, when the penny dropped. I was thinking to myself that I was sure I had seen Susan Ruttan playing the wife of Brian ...

Schindler's List (1993)

195 mins     Biography, Drama      

I am half tempted just to tell you to watch "Schindler's List" rather than even attempt to review it because whilst I can put into words what I watched getting across how that affected me is not so easy. The thing is that I h...

Murder in the First (1995)

122 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

When I first watched "Murder in the First", in my early 20s, I found it very disturbing, and to be honest struggled to watch it right through. Now, having aged a few years, I revisited it to see if after years of watching mov...

Matilda (1996)

98 mins     Comedy, Family, Fantasy      

Having never been a big reader I don't think I have ever read a Roald Dahl book which may explain why that some of those which have been made into movies have done little for me. There was always "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate ...

The Garden of Redemption (1997)

95 mins     Drama, TV Movie, War      

I could walk into a Hollywood office and pitch "The Garden of Redemption" as an examination of religious beliefs during a time of war when even those who preach the good word are tested by the brutality which they see around ...

The Gingerbread Man (1998)

114 mins     Thriller      

"The Gingerbread Man" is not an adaptation of a John Grisham book instead comes from a discarded manuscript which he wrote and to be honest it is a rather strange experience because it's not what I expected. Okay so it has al...

Fallen (1998)

124 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

I am no expert, I have never gone to film school but for me director Gregory Hoblit makes one seriously big mistake early on and that is to make something too obvious. In fact it is a combination of scenes starting with the e...

Bicentennial Man (1999)

132 mins     Comedy, Drama, Family, Fantasy      

"Bicentennial Man" is a sweet and charming tale as we follow the life of Andrew a robot, a home appliance who happens to be quite special. It is without a doubt a very sweet tale with little if anything which is offensive, al...

Thir13en Ghosts (2001)

91 mins     Horror, Mystery, Thriller      

When it comes to horror movies what is your reasoning for watching? Is it to be spooked or just be entertained by the look and the characters? If your reason is the first then I can only suggest you give "Thir13en Ghosts" a m...

Fracture (2007)

113 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery, Thriller      

There is a sort of irony to Ryan Gosling starring alongside Anthony Hopkins in the clever thriller "Fracture" because back in 2002 he played the cocky teenager Richard Haywood who tries to commit the perfect murder in "Murder...

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

136 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

First things first, I was one of those who questioned why they needed to reboot the Spider-Man franchise as it was only in 2002 when Tobey Maguire took on the role of the web slinger. Secondly, after I watch a movie I ask mys...
