Movies starring Jason Isaacs

DragonHeart (1996)

103 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama, Fantasy      

"DragonHeart" a fantasy adventure about a Knight and a Dragon lasts the perfect length of 103 minutes, not too long that it feels drawn out, not too short that a storyline can't form. The trouble is that half of those 103 min...

Event Horizon (1997)

96 mins     Horror, Sci-Fi      

I remember it well, a time where my movie knowledge was a lot less and my likes were simple, a time when a pretty movie full of special effects and well known faces would impress me. That brings me to "Event Horizon" the exac...

Armageddon (1998)

150 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama, Thriller      

There has been a growing trend in cinema for many years to launch a big blockbuster movie where the basis of the plot is that the world faces impending doom only for the Americans to save the day with some far fetched idea. M...

Soldier (1998)

99 mins     Action , Drama, Sci-Fi      

If I had watched "Soldier" when I was a young twenty something I would probably have enjoyed it with being a futuristic action movie. If I'd watched it at the start of my thirties I would have probably been seriously under wh...

The Last Don II (1998)

180 mins     Crime, Drama, TV Movie      

"The Last Don" was not a bad made for TV movie as long as you didn't expect it to be up there with "The Godfather" when it came to the production and acting. And you could say the same for the sequel "The Last Don II" except ...

Black Hawk Down (2001)

144 mins     Drama, Thriller      

As a piece of film making there is no denying that "Black Hawk Down" is impressive, strip away the start and the end and you are left with around a hour onslaught of action as the drama in Mogadishu as we have these U.S. Ran...

Windtalkers (2002)

134 mins     Action , Adventure , War      

If you watch "Windtalkers" expecting an insightful look at how the Navajo were critical to WWII and played their part in passing codes then trust me you are going to be sadly disappointed. Yet if you watch "Windtalkers" expec...

The Tuxedo (2002)

98 mins     Action , Comedy      

When "The Tuxedo" started I immediately feared the worse with a scene featuring a deer urinating in a stream which felt like it was an off cut from "Freddy Got Fingered", yes it was that bad. Now whilst "The Tuxedo" doesn't f...

Peter Pan (2003)

113 mins     Adventure , Family, Fantasy      

Peter Pan: The Darlings find themselves on a marvellous adventure with Peter Pan and Tink in Neverland...

Good (2008)

92 mins     Drama, Romance, War      

Euthanasia, the Nazi Regime, civilian naivety, friendship with a Jew and an affair. Those are 5 big elements in the movie "Good", or should I say they should be 5 big elements in the movie "Good". Unfortunately the power of e...

Green Zone (2010)

115 mins     Action , Drama, Thriller      

With Matt Damon reuniting with director Paul Greengrass it would be very easy to mention "The Bourne" movies when talking about "Green Zone", you could even come up with something such as "Bourne Goes Political" or "The Bourn...

Skeletons (2010)

94 mins     Comedy, Fantasy      

What a fun concept, 2 guys in bad suits and ties heading to see clients where upon they unearth any hidden secrets the clients might have which could come out in the future. It is an idea with plenty of comedy potential and d...

Abduction (2011)

106 mins     Action , Mystery, Thriller      

Let me tell you how I think "Abduction" came to be and I must say there are spoilers in the rest of this review. I think someone had this really good idea for a thriller about a teenage boy who not only discovers that his par...

The Great Ghost Rescue (2011)

95 mins     Family, Fantasy, Horror      

On paper I like "The Great Ghost Rescue", the idea that there are all these homeless ghosts wandering the planet because their haunts have been flattened to make way for new developments is almost clever. The trouble is that ...

Fury (2014)

134 mins     Action , Drama, War      

Tick for production. It has to be said that those behind "Fury" have certainly thrown a lot of money and time in to the production of the movie. From scenes in the tank to various war torn towns this certainly has an impressi...
