Hostile Forces (2023)

Please no... George ?

[1/10 · 1 September 2023]

Gave this chance on the high reviews, I also don't mind a low budget film but sorry this is bad. Not sure how old George is about 50? Did he wake up one morning and think I know let's make a really cheap Rambo film today ? The result a very bad Rambo film made in 24hrs. . . Must try harder. I need 600 characters but not sure what else to say..

Maybe I could be in part 2 and make it a 5 star film, George if you read this I'm available free of charge, I know all the mid 80's action classics to help bring the ratings up to the right level.

How much did this cost to make I wonder ?

Will this review make it ?

Action Jackson (1988)

How do you like your ribs?

[8/10 · 18 March 2022]

Saw this at the cinema in the late 80's , it literally ticks every box, its a shame it never really appears on tv for the new kids to enjoy..they certainly don't make them like this anymore .. enough is enough.

Girl on the Third Floor (2019)

Cheap Bruce

[4/10 · 2 March 2022]

I expected slightly more, Sarah was excellent and very watchable, I didn't know who Punk was but had a very cheap attempt at pretending to be Bruce Campbell in Evil Dead, I watched it but i still don't know why, 4 stars for the hi-lights.

The Dark Tapes (2016)

I survived...

[1/10 · 26 October 2021]

Not sure how I survived this but I did...please believe me there is nothing good about this apart from the brunette cam girl, and she is in it for about 10 minutes.

Speedtrap (1977)

No way, not Novick

[9/10 · 21 August 2021]

Watched this is the mid 80's then purchased it on a rare VHS , great 70's car chase from an era that will sadly never be with us again.

The Hitcher (2007)

Almost as good ...almost

[8/10 · 21 August 2021]

Loved the mid 80's original and almost didn't watch this but gave it a chance , not as good as the original but almost there. One slight problem, Sophia is so attractive in the movie I found myself missing bits because she looks so good ... 10/10 Sophia.

Rambo (2008)

Fantastic after a long wait...

[10/10 · 21 August 2021]

I was so nervous to watch this being a fan from the outset, I loved the first three films and how different they all were. This does not disappoint, they won't make them like this anymore... but why did they leave those brilliant deleted scenes out ! Needed to be slightly longer 👍🏻

Boss Level (2020)

Great / Different Movie

[8/10 · 21 August 2021]

I'm not a massive fan of movies after the mid 90's but now I have watched most of them I have to pick and choose carefully. Glad I watched this one something different and actually has a heart , definitely worth a watch 👍🏻

Samurai Cop (1991)

How did I miss it ?!!

[7/10 · 24 June 2021]

Great lines, cheap action.. would easily get a 9 if they had stuck to the great dialogue and skipped the cheap action. Ninja vs Mafia is a better version , but you will never beat those great one liners from Joe... especially the nurse clip..

Hong men jue e zhe (1985)

My friend don't force me to hurt you...

[9/10 · 5 June 2021]

More people need to know this exists, they don't make them like this anymore..

Stone Cold (1991)

Great action film...

[9/10 · 28 January 2021]

I saw this at the cinema , and it made it into my DVD collection, it has all the ingredients of a classic mid 80's to early 90's action movie, very corny with some winning one liners..

The Protector (1985)

A Real mid 80's action film...

[8/10 · 12 January 2021]

Not your typical Jackie Chan movie, personally this is actually one of his best I'm certainly not a fan of his slap stick action comedies that he churns up ... spy next door etc. Good mid-80's actioner that ticks most boxes.

Dead Heat (1988)

Should have made a sequel !

[8/10 · 9 January 2021]

Joe is fantastic in this mid-80's B movie , sit back and enjoy the ride..."we have something on the monitor captain"

The Tunnel (I) (2011)

Good solid movie...

[7/10 · 9 January 2021]

I have seen so many hand held style movies over the years and I almost didn't watch this one, took a chance and glad I did it kept my attention for 90 minutes, very tense and well filmed.

Smokey and the Bandit (1977)

One of the greatest ....

[10/10 · 31 December 2020]

Will they ever make them like this again, great chemistry , great comedy and no cgi in site for some fantastic car chases and stunt sequences. Maybe a 10+

Lasso (I) (2017)

Two girls 2 stars

[2/10 · 30 December 2020]

Only worth watching for Lindsey and Heather, maybe they could do something together ?

Under Siege (1992)

Seagals Best !

[8/10 · 24 December 2020]

I was never a massive Seagal fan but although this really is die hard on a boat it is still his best work, if you have never seen it watch it.

Die Hard (1988)

Best of all time !

[10/10 · 24 December 2020]

I watched this at the cinema at Xmas in 1988 and it was the best film I have ever seen, it was so different to all the other mid 80's action films.. it literally ticks every box.

Braven (2018)

Money ? Or Rambo fan ?

[2/10 · 24 December 2020]

Not sure why this was made and I would love to know the real answer, does Jason wake up one morning and think "I know I'm going to attempt to make a Rambo" ? I unfortunately watched this all the way through and it never got any better.. please avoid.

Rambo III (1988)

A Cinematic Masterpiece

[10/10 · 7 January 2020]

I saw this at the cinema in 1988, they will never make films like this again. It is a true action film, pure escapism, and although Sly is helping the Taliban you have to realize things were different in 88. I believe in the real world the Russians pulled out of this war in 88 so it was going to be a struggle... 10 stars.

Muck (I) (2015)

1st Review.. Steve Wolsh please take note.

[2/10 · 7 January 2020]

I have been an imdb man for a long time and this is the 1st Review I have typed up... I gave this film a chance but it is truly that bad, there is no story, acting is laughable especially Lachlan Buchanan, I think the director was trying so hard to believe he is making a stylish Tarrantino film but unfortunately it was a mesh.. I can only assume the cast and crew had a good few beers every night and enjoyed making it. If you are making part two I will attend and help out... Just pay me in beer. The two stars are for Jaclyn Swedberg.
