Movies starring Jon Voight

Without Honor (1968)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

22nd out of 23 episodes that is what "Without Honor" is, it is the 22nd episode of "Cimarron Strip" and even as the series wended its way to what would be just a single series run the quality was high. Now I have said before ...

The Odessa File (1974)

130 mins     Drama, Thriller      

Watching "The Odessa File" now makes you realise one thing how poor modern cinema has become when it comes to the thriller genre. Here is a movie which in fairness whilst having an interesting storyline built around real elem...

Runaway Train (1985)

111 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

On paper "Runaway Train" doesn't sound much, we have prisoners on the run from a diabolical warden and they end up on an out of control train. Yes that does sound cliche and leads you to think of various other movies, for me ...

Return to Lonesome Dove (1993)

340 mins     TV Movie, Western      

As a western fan the original "Lonesome Dove" TV Movie/ mini-series was as close to perfection as it gets; it had drama, action, characters, good performances, depth, stunning cinematography and a storyline which kept you in ...

Heat (1995)

170 mins     Action , Crime, Drama      

I've never really understood why Michael Mann's "Heat" is revered by so many as a great movie, oh it is by no means an average movie with its complex storyline, stylish action and a huge cast of stars but great it is not. I s...

Mission: Impossible (1996)

110 mins     Action , Adventure , Thriller      

On one hand "Mission: Impossible" is a disappointment it is an unfaithful adaptation of the original TV series to the big screen and as such it goes for big, big names, big action, big scenes all to replace the missing intrig...

The Rainmaker (1997)

135 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

Its been a long time since I read John Grisham's "The Rainmaker" and having recently watched Francis Ford Coppola's big screen adaptation I honestly couldn't remember enough to say whether it's a faithful adaptation. But it i...

Anaconda (1997)

89 mins     Action , Horror, Thriller      

I knew "Anaconda" was a bad movie before I watched it but I was hoping it was going to be one of those movies which is so bad it becomes entertaining. Sadly it wasn't and so what we have is a b-movie creature feature trying t...

U Turn (1997)

125 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

There is no denying Oliver Stone's ability as a director, his collection of movies speak for themselves but even a top director can go wrong and unfortunately with "U Turn" Stone has gone wrong. Wrong maybe the wrong word bec...

Enemy of the State (1998)

132 mins     Action , Drama, Thriller      

If ever a movie was the perfect vehicle for a star it was "Enemy of the State" for Will Smith. This action, thriller allowed Smith to not only deliver action and comedy but also moments of drama as well. Add to this the direc...

The Fixer (1998)

105 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

"The Fixer" is an entertaining little drama, the sort of thing which you discover channel hopping late at night and enjoy watching the once but feel no need to revisit again. It doesn't have a great deal of depth, doesn't hav...

Varsity Blues (1999)

106 mins     Drama, Romance, Sport      

"Varsity Blues" with it's storyline of high school and Friday night football wouldn't feel out of place in one of the teen TV dramas which come and go every few years. And to be honest it is no surprise as Dawson Creek's own ...

Ali (2001)

156 mins     Biography, Drama, Sport      

"Ali" is the biopic based on the life of legendary heavy weight boxer Muhammad Ali from the period 1964, where he clashed with the infamous Sonny Liston, through a decade to 1974 and the now famous 'Rumble in the Jungle' figh...

Zoolander (2001)

87 mins     Comedy      

Trust me, that when I say "Zoolander" is completely stupid, it is not a criticism, in fact "Zoolander" is indeed quite funny as it goes about spoofing the world of male modelling. But whilst the movie provides a certain amoun...

Pearl Harbor (2001)

183 mins     Action , Drama, Romance, War      

What can you say about Michael Bay's "Pearl Harbor", maybe it is to war what "Twilight" is to vampire movies or maybe you could say it is Michael Bay doing for Pearl Harbor what James Cameron did for the Titanic. But I think ...

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)

100 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

Watching "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" is like watching someone else play the video game, we get the enjoyment of seeing a sexy action hero jump around a lot but there is no involvement. Now I could say that is what is wrong with...

Uprising (2001)

177 mins     Drama, TV Movie, War      

Uprising: Leelee Sobieski & Hank Azaria star in this Holocaust movie focusing on the Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII...

Holes (2003)

117 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Drama      

I just guess I am either too old or just prefer my children's movies simpler but Disney's "Holes" never did it for me. There is not anything really wrong with it as such, it is an amusing production with a quirky fantasy side...

Jasper, Texas (2003)

114 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

First things first and I know nothing of the true story of James Byrd, Jr and his gruesome murder which happened on the 7th June 1998, well other than what I have learned in the process of watching Jasper, Texas. As such I do...

In the first "National Cage" Nicolas Cage is Benjamin Franklin Gates who has been on a crusade to find a hidden treasure ever since his grandfather told him about it as a young child. But now as he moves ever closer to discov...
