Movies starring Famke Janssen

GoldenEye (1995)

130 mins     Action , Adventure , Thriller      

It may have been 7 years between Bond movies but other than Pierce Brosnan replacing Timothy Dalton as Britain's most famous agent not a lot has changed, well other than Judi Dench taking on the role of "M". The storyline is ...

Rounders (1998)

116 mins     Drama      

It seems that over the last decade the game of Poker has become increasingly popular, with tournaments and games being held on TV most nights of the week, you can even buy your own chips and gambling tables in high street sho...

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...

The Faculty (1998)

104 mins     Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi      

If I told you that the screenplay for "The Faculty" was written by Kevin Williamson you might know what to expect as Kevin Williamson wrote the screenplays for "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer". But whilst "The F...

House on Haunted Hill (1999)

93 mins     Horror      

"House on Haunted Hill" is a remake of the 1958 movie and although I am not usually a fan of remakes I did enjoy this one purely because it took a good storyline and made it current. Some may say that for horror this newer ve...

X-Men (2000)

100 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

When I was growing up there was only really one big screen super hero, which was "Superman". Yes there were other comic book heroes but rarely did their presence make it onto the big screen and certainly never into a series o...

Don't Say a Word (2001)

113 mins     Crime, Thriller      

I could start this review of "Don't Say a Word" by mentioning the Mel Gibson movie "Ransom" where his son was kidnapped, but then again I could mention one of over a hundred movies where we have a kidnapped child and a parent...

I Spy (2002)

87 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

I Spy - Eddie Murphy & Owen Wilson star as the boxer and the spy forced to team up to try and recover a stolent stealth plane from an underground arms dealer...

X-Men 2 (2003)

133 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

Following the crowd pleasing success of "X-Men" it's no surprise that "X-Men 2" or "X2" as it's also known was produced, especially as the original whilst a good movie felt like a precursor to a sequel with its emphasis on bu...

Hide and Seek (2005)

101 mins     Horror, Mystery, Thriller      

The trouble with watching and reviewing lots of movies is not burnout but the simple fact you become far too clued in to movies. As such "Hide and Seek" ended up becoming one of those tick box movies for me, putting a check n...

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

104 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

So after two strong "X-Men" movies delivered impressively by director Bryan Singer, along rolls the third and maybe final movie in the franchise "X-Men: The Last Stand". But sadly Bryan Singer didn't roll along with it being ...

Taken (2008)

93 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

It took a bit of time but when the credits began to roll I was taken with "Taken". The thing is that "Taken" is a movie which does one thing brilliantly, that is deliver stunning action scene after stunning action scene. But ...

Taken 2 (2012)

92 mins     Action , Thriller      

Taken 2: Liam Neeson is back as Bryan Mills and now he is Instanbul dealing with a vengeful father whose son Bryan killed when he kidnapped his daughter...

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)

88 mins     Action , Fantasy, Horror      

"Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" is exactly the sort of movie that I would have parted with my hard earned cash to watch on a Saturday night if I was 20 years younger yet now watch in more of a state of bemusement. As such, a...

The Wolverine (2013)

126 mins     Action , Adventure , Sci-Fi      

For me "The Wolverine" should be a make or break movie which takes the popular character of Logan/Wolverine and makes him a true stand alone character. And in fairness it technically does that with a storyline which combines ...

Taken 3 (2014)

109 mins     Action , Thriller      

It is said that Liam Neeson only agreed to make "Taken 3" if no on one was taken in this movie, in fact a scene in which Bryan watches CCTV footage of Lenore being bundled into a van avoids even using the word "taken" and ins...
