Topic: My Blu-Ray Reviews

[GSyren]

I thought that Under Siege was OK, as Seagal movies go. I didn't like Under Siege 2 at all. I don't quite know why. I'm going to revisit both and see if I feel different now. Going into #2 with lower expectations might help.

[DSig]

I kind of though Seagal really started to get his stride in the second one.  More insane plot (more insane than watching Tommy Lee Jones play air guitar  ), better fight action (love the fight in the kitchen) and even better dialog

[GSyren]

More insane plot is probably what turned me off.

[Achim]

Under Siege 2 is the one on the train, with Eric Bogosian? I may actually have seen that one.

I did quite like the first one, it was solid action and at the time the concept of "Die Hard with ____" was not played to death yet.

[DSig]

Played to death ?? how can that ever be played to death.  I am looking forward to Die Hard 16

[Dragonfire]

 
Well...I read there were plans to make another one. 

[DSig]

Nobody gets trashed like John McClane :0  Yep looks like there will be a sixth and final film.

My Review:
So i watched this last night, and i remembered alot more of this, than i did with the first one. But i actually enjoyed this. Enjoyed it more then the first. And when you watch the movie and you see Steven Seagal there fighting the badguys on that train, you cant help to notice that alot of the stuff he does is just ridiculus. But it has its moments here and there. Not the worst action movie i've seen.

My Review:
So, i was recommanded this movie from a friend of mine. And its based on a true story about a serial killer back in the days. And to be honest i havent heard much about the story at all. But i just checked it out, in it is a interesting story and a very good movie. Great moments trough out. Some good acting by Winona Ryder and Michael Shannon IMHO. And you got "Ross" from Friends in a part aswell, and that was nice. (havent seen him in anything since his Friends days) yep. A great movie that is recommanded to check out!

Plot:
En 17 årig indsat bliver voldtaget og dræbt i et af Danmarks største fængsler. For Katrine bliver sagen et stærkt møde med en fortid hun helst vil glemme, og hun går til angreb på det system, der har gjort overgrebet muligt. Da endnu en fange bliver dræbt på samme manér, bliver det imidlertid klart, at det handler om mere end et enkelt seksualdrab. En seriemorder er løs bag murene.
Sagen vækker stor opmærksomhed, og politiet udsættes for massiv kritik over at en sådan forbrydelse overhovedet kan ske i et dansk fængsel. Har kriminelle mindre krav på beskyttelse end andre folk? Katrine og Thomas arbejder under intenst pres på at indkredse gerningsmanden i et miljø præget af had, vold og hævn. Et miljø som trænger ind under huden på dem begge, og fremprovokerer sider, de helst ikke vil kendes ved.

My Review:
Well, to be honest i've wanted to check out this movie because of Leo and Kate's relationship in real life. Everyone knows that they are bestfriends, and have been since Titanic. And the movie was real interesting really, strong story from the 50's. And just to see how proffesional Kate and Leo is infront of the camera, pure class. And the acting aswell? Just amazing. This was just a real solid movie that i really enjoyed! Check it out if you havent done yet! And it got some real good extras aswell. And i really hope we do see the two together again in another movie soon! (Leo and Kate)

My Review:
So that was the last movie of the series. Still a' ok movie, the case was just ok this time around. You kinda knew who did it, but it was a intense episode nonetheless. They made the most out of it really. I've enjoyed the 5 movies in the series. A cool series that i might just watch again down the road. Check it out.

Plot:
Rookie cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) grew up in crime. That makes him the perfect mole, the man on the inside of the mob run by boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson). It's his job to win Costello's trust and help his detective handlers (Mark Wahlberg and Martin Sheen) bring Costello down. Meanwhile, SIU officer Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) has everyone's trust. No one suspects he's Costello's mole. Martin Scorsese directs this visceral tale of crime and consequences that's searing, can't-look-away filmmaking: like staring into the eyes of a con – or a cop – with a gun.

My Review:
wow, what a movie. I dont think i've seen this since it came out years ago. And today i had some time to kill and decided to check it out again. Its just a perfect crime thriller with Jack Nicholson as the great villian with dirty cops who's helping him. Great moments trough out, great script, the cast did a top notch job too. I loved everything about this flick. Just a classic! Martin Scorsese did it again! Its ofc highly recommanded!
