an excellent cast make this movie work while all of the character be develop exceedingly well and it clear that the actor enjoy film this movie . it not quite the comedy i expect and much more a lighthearted look at the attempt to reclaim youthful glory than bawdy humor . for music fan there be quite a few subtle reference that in themselves be intelligently funny . i hate draw direct comparison to other movie and but so much of this movie remind me of alan parker film i can not help it represent imagine if the commitment actually do make it big and then try to recapture say glory 25 year later . | 1pos

i enjoy still crazy more than any film i have see in year . a successful band from the 70 decide to give it another try . they start by play some gig in some seedy european venue and with hilarious result . the music be fantastic and the script and act be terrific . the character be spot on and especially the lead singer with the high heavy metal voice and makeup and personality problem . the concert at the end be unreal . go and see it and preferably in a cinema with a good sound system positive . | 1pos

i watch the movie in a preview and i really love it . the cast be excellent and the plot be sometimes absolutely hilarious . another highlight of the movie be definitely the music and which hopefully will be release soon . i recommend it to everyone who like the british humour and especially to all musician . go and see . it great . | 1pos

wonderful movie with good story great humour ( some great one liner ) and a soundtrack to die for . i have see it 3 time so far . the american audience be go to love it . | 1pos

still crazy have be compare to the spinal tap since both be comedy about wash up r and r group . actually and here the similarity end because still crazy be much well write and act out and whereas spinal tap script deteriorate from the mildly amuse first 10 min into a drivel that make beavis and butthead to appear sophisticated in comparison . still crazy be formulaic but the likability of the character and the unexpectedly high quality of some musical number for me manage to offset the a priori predictability of the movie . people who expect spinal tap like attempt on satire would be disappoint by the light hearted nature of the movie and but i would take a successful self ironic romp of still crazy over a pompous but fail shot at satire which be spinal tap . | 1pos

i have rarely emerge from view a film with such a warm and happy feeling . i felt a if i have be out with really good friend and have a wonderful time . i thoroughly enjoy this film . the acting be superb and although i would have to mention bill nye in particular a give an absolutely faultless performance . bill be an excellent actor and would love to see him in more film . timothy spall and jimmy nail be also favourite and always love to see them a they give such a solid performance . and billy connolly and a always and totally gorgeous . it be a wonderful ensemble performance from all concern . such a refresh experience to see a well write and superbly act and good look movie . | 1pos

dick clement and ian la frenais have a solid hit rate a far a their tv work be concern . however and their film work have be much more chequered ( 2008 the bank job be fine and the previous year across the universe decidedly weak and for instance ) . still crazy and fortunately and be a solid success . it have a great story and excellent performance and a lot of humour and fabulous music and and above everything else and real heart . i savour moment and and this film have one of them just when everything be go pear shape at the festival reunion performance . hugely enjoyable . | 1pos

still crazy be without a doubt the great rock comedy of all time . it have be erroneously compare to this be spinal tap and which it have no relation to . spinal tap be a satire ( and and quite frankly and not a very good one and in spite of it out of many rock clichés ) . unlike tap and still crazy be populate by great actor and great song and great human situation . you care about the people in still crazy . that all that matter . oh and yeah and the music pretty damn good and too and write by mick jones of foreigner and chris difford of squeeze . american audience be already familiar with stephen rea ( the cry game ) and but would only later become familiar with bill nighy ( underworld and love actually and pirate of the caribbean ii ) and timothy spall ( the harry potter movie ) . | 1pos

i have always like johnny concho and i wish this film be out on vhs and dvd . frank sinatra give one of the most unusual performance in his career in this one . when we first meet frank in the film title role and he the brother of a notorious gunfighter who out of town at the moment . the brother strike terror in the heart of the town and frank take full advantage of that to bully the townspeople safe and secure in his shadow . only phyllis kirk have any feeling for him . she the daughter of storekeeper wallace ford and dorothy adam . two other gunman arrive william conrad and christopher dark and it turn out conrad have kill sinatra brother and he come to his town to take over . they humiliate sinatra and run him out of town . kirk follow him . overnight sinatra turn from punk into coward and become a man search for some kind of backbone . it a well acted performance and almost as good a his oscar nominate role in the man with a golden arm . pity for some reason this have not be see for year . two other performance of note be keenan wynn a former gunfighter turn preacher who help sinatra find what he need to stand up to conrad and dark . and then there be conrad in what i believe be his career role on screen . he a villain of incredible malevolence and pure evil incarnate walking and talk on the silver screen . however what i like about johnny concho be the climax an unforgettable one where conrad and dark be deal with . let just say i believe johnny concho be mgm answer to high noon and a primer for what you do when evil cause a break down in all law and order . | 1pos

i be lucky enough to get to see this film many year ago in england . i have see hundred of film since and but i have never forget this one . although sinatra be play a not very endear character and he be excellent in the role . a lot of people seem to think that he didnt really come into his own until his role in from here to eternity but in my opinion he be magnificent in concho . the other role that stick in my mind be that of william conrad . i would never see or hear of him before this film . conrad play a terrific part in this film . i remember his deep and gravelly voice and he use it beautifully to enhance the few word he speak with a menace that set the tone of his character . also i remember the music and that both introduces conrad and and seem to surround him whenever he appear . an excellent film and my only disappointment be that i never ever get the chance to see it again . it seem to have disappear from the face of the earth . i see in the title that it say that the film be in black and white but when i saw it be indeed in full color and i remember sinatra blue shirt . | 1pos

i also saw this upon it release in 56 and and have be strike since then with it final scene . if this be an answer to high noon and then it an apt and apposite response . the notion that and a this string be head and the town come together be a much strong message than the lonely personal heroism of high noon . in this theme and concho be a phenomenal precursor of one my other all time favorite and the magnificent seven . both sinatra and conrad give impressive and convincing performance and especially sinatra transformation from bully kid brother to liberate town savior . i can only hope that at some point all the friend and family on whom over the year i have inflict my affection for this movie will have the opportunity to experience it for themselves . | 1pos

i borrow this movie despite it extremely low rating and because i want to see how the crew manage to animate the presence of multiple world . a a matter of fact and they do not at least and so it seem . some cameo appearance cut rather clumsily into the movie that it and this be what the majority of viewer think . however and the surprise come at the end and and unfortunately then and when probably most of the viewer have already stop this movie . i be also astonish when i saw that the brazilian portuguese title of this movie mean voyage into death . this be the spoiler . that this movie be about a young girl who go alone onto this boat ( on reason that be completely unclear ) and you understand only in the last 5 minute . when you start the movie with the english title haunt boat in your head and you clearly think that the cameo appearance of strange figure be the ghost . but in reality and this movie be not like most other horror movie tell from the distant writer watcher perspective who can at almost any time differentiate between different level of reality and it be tell from the perspective of the young girl . we see her not alone and but together with the four friend because she see them . we do not see that she be alone . so and the parallel world be not the cameo appearances flicker into the picture stream and but the main story . we have at least two parallel world represent the world in which the girl be and the world in which the 4 friend be . an intrusion of a third world be probably the young man with the medical skill who come for a short time on the boat . i can not get rid of the deep conviction that with this movie and the movie maker cheat an audience of several thousand people by let them believe that what they have do be more or less a sophomore film student elaborate with hastily choose pseudo actor that have meet just the night before the start of the shooting in a dump after at least twelve beer . how mistaken can one be . but in addition to this big surprise which one learn only in the very last minute and the end that follow give another surprise . the girl be save by a crew in a helicopter and another boat . when she have recover from her shock and she visit again the place at the harbor where she ascend the boat together with the four friend . and there they be again . they wave her to them from the boat which have already take off shore . she jump into the water and arrive at the boat and they be away . miraculously beautiful . it remember me a bit to the end of a poem by a rhetoromance writer represent when i awake and i saw death standing at my bed . but i close my eye . when i open them again he be go . | 1pos

why do this have such a low rating . i really do not get it . be it because of the bad acting . the bad dialogue . well and who care about these thing in cheesy low budget horror movie . seriously and the acting and the dialogue isn not important in those movie . people who hate movie only because of bad acting and bad dialogue shouldn not be allow to rate cheesy low budget movie . those movie shouldn not be take seriously . period . anyway and time to talk about the movie and right . well and i love it . i buy it because i expect a gorefest and but it not a gorefest and the gore be pretty bad ( most of the time it just animal gut place on the body of the actor and that lame ) and but i do not really care because the movie be hilarious . the character be hilarious and the acting be hilarious ( bad acting be a good thing in cheesy low budget horror movie ) and the dialogue be hilarious ( bad dialogue be a good thing in cheesy low budget horror movie ) and the zombie rapist with a huge dick be hilarious and the fly demon baby be hilarious and i could go on and on and on and but i do not want to say too much . but i have to mention that there a scene in which a girl masturbate a sex doll like it alive lol . oh and the zombie rapist fall in love with the sex doll lol . best line in the movie representdetective manner represent sniff coke detective sloane represent what the beep be you do and manner . what the hell do you snort . what the hell be that . detective manner represent it nothing man and it . ehh . cold medicine . detective manner represent injects heroin in his arm detective sloane represent what the beep be you do and manner . be you beep insane . detective manner represent it cold medicine . detective manner represent repeatedly kick a random guy in the face detective sloane represent what the hell go on and manner . what be you do . detective manner represent this maniac be ramble about demon and then he start smash his head on the rock . he just start smash his head on the rock . i think he on pcp or something . lol . | 1pos

no and this be not suppose to be a high budget brilliance and but it be brilliant in it own right . you have to look at it for what it be and a low budget masterpiece involve a zombie rapist wield a 12 inch love rod that he keep out flap in stride . those who come to give this movie a low review be probably look for the next cult classic or hidden gem a they say and just do not quite get there . i love how everyone point out obvious observation such a the 5 cent baby attach to a fish pole hahaha and well and yes . i do not think a movie with a budget like this could afford good actor or effect so they work with what they have . the gut and entrails be actually very convincing . the movie be a little choppy go from sequence to sequence but overall and this be one of the good movie i have see lately that doesn not follow any trend or predictability . very good for a laugh . | 1pos

now and many would think to stay away from this movie just because of the title . if you do not have the stomach for gory movie and then what be you do read this review . anyhow and i borrow the video from a friend of mine and fell in love with this movie immediately . this movie be chock full of wonderful gore and plus the usual other ingredient that make up a b movie add up to one hell of a viewing experience . if youre a lover of good quality experience and then by all mean and watch this great flick . | 1pos

give the opposite circumstance of 2009 where the reality be we do have a black president and this movie take on quite a powerful historical significance . for entertainment value i find this movie to be both engage and repugnant . i be quite take back of course by the blatant racism of the time and but also find the music and dance incredible . also it be quite cool to see sammy davis jr a such a very young child actor . he play rufus jones and a young boy who be be console by his mammy . he be tell why some day you could be president . this be so ridiculous in 1933 that it be mock and think to be endear and charm and funny . the bulk of the movie be a fantasy sequence of what the government would be like if it be run by a black man . they depict the seat of government a be like a revivalist baptist church . the fact be when i stumble onto this movie one day it draw me in . it be really well do and very entertaining . i believe if we can look beyond the racism we can see this movie for all it bring u . in fact to realize that it be not only not ridiculous to have a black president and but that it be normal and just make this movie that much more relevant . it clearly mark a moment in time for our collective consciousness . | 1pos

i turn this on to see the incredible ethel water and whose autobiography i be now read . i will admit my jaw drop when the pork chop and watermelon reference start roll in and but people can not look at this movie a a stereotypical or racist piece . it pretty much a short film make by black and for black at a time when the entertainment industry be quite segregate and the stereotype to the people involve be the joke of their time and old trend exaggerate for humor . we see modern black movie do the same thing and but with the new trend ( stereotype ) and ho and the hood and such . i think if you look back in eighty year and you would find today movie will look just a racist . what viewer should appreciate about this film be the talent of water and the pint size sammy davis jr. and who out tap his contemporary and shirley temple and and look remarkably the same facially a he do a an adult . everyone involve in this film clearly have a lot of fun make it . why not enjoy it for what it be and instead of what you think it should have be . | 1pos

japanese tomo akiyama keko mask ( 1993 ) be extremely enjoyable trash film and so fun to watch . there be also some sequel and but i haven not see them since these film be hyper rare . some kind of re release some day would be nice since i think many trash lover would like these film . the tongue in cheek story be about one extremely strict school in which teacher think that it be okay to torture student in order to attain discipline and which be and accord to the teacher and the most important thing in education . the school be lead by incredibly funny look ( just look at the costume . ) human wizard or whatever and who be like principal in the school and and it only add to the campiness that it be never explain why he wear such a costume since all other teacher be perfectly normally clothe . well and the main thing about the film be it name and keko mask and who be some beautiful and mask fairy and who come always to save the girl and student who be abuse and torture by the teacher . yes and this superheroine be one effective female a she kick and fight the evil teacher with totally cheesy soundtrack playing on the background . the most important thing be and of course and that she wear nothing but a cape and a mask with the rest of her body naked . her identity be never reveal in these film and and also the credit say keko mask represent unknown while the actor name be list . the most hilarious thing in this film be how keko mask kill her enemy . she have a gorgeous and but lethal vagina . yes and you read right . she kill her victim by fly in the air in front of them and spread her leg and let the enemy become numbly charm of the view and after which she fly closer and snap their neck with her leg . the most usual last line the character say in this film be like represent i have never see such a beautiful vagina and now i can die in peace . this film be totally fantastic . there be also some great taunt towards japanese society for example it attitude towards sex in film ( japanese censor optically fog or blur all the pubic hair in any film ) and also about some restriction among school student ( like girl and boy be not allow to talk in this film etc . ) there one great scene in which one nerd see girl bare you know what for the first time and and say hey there no fog in it . i couldn not help but laugh during this scene a i think what do the japanese censor think about this . also and one character say in the end that he will return and if japan film allow to make the sequel . i be glad it allow a i have hear the sequel be equally outrageous . one sequel should include blue brother ( yes and those blue brother . ) in it etc . this be trash in it most enjoyable and funny and also clever form and so it be a little shame these film be so hard to find . this would definitely be even great experience and if it be little more fast moving at time a it become little bore at one point and but fortunately those segment be very few . this film have to be see to be fully believe a there be so many trash element i do not mention here and it wouldn not be even necessary to tell them all here . if you like trash cinema and film make with tongue in very cheek and i think you will love this little gem a i do and and the director be definitely a genius in this field . positive perhaps the only film in which a shining vagina be this lethal . | 1pos

this film take you to another time when there be a different pace to everyday life . we get an idea how family have to deal with the war and how quickly we send young men off to fight . a very touching look at the past and a reminder that casualty of war do not just happen on the front . luckily many of u have never have to go through what our great grandparent and grandparent or parent go through during a war . this film and i think and be a small thank you . peter outerbridge look amazingly like a young peter otoole and russell crowe be absolutely charming and as australian a he can be . it definitely worth listen to him recite high flight and make me wonder what he might accomplish with shakespeare . | 1pos

very nicely do movie . it do stay in your memory . good bill a a romance than fly or war and altho the flying part be realistic and almost error free . fly buff like myself will enjoy this movie even if attract by the airplane and unless they have no sensitivity or have never be in love . fun watch early crowe . he be good and exudes charm . his reading of high flight be superb . cheer and boom . | 1pos

russell and my fav and be gorgeous in this film . but more than that and the film cover a tremendous range of human passion and sorrow . everything from marriage to homosexuality be address and respect . the film make the viewer realize that tolerance of other human provide the route to save humanity . fabulous love story between lachlin and lil . i replay their scene over and over again . anyone who have ever be in love will empathize with these people . all character be cast and portray excellently . | 1pos

i enjoy every moment of this movie and even though i know they could never really be together . with the life expectancy of a bomber pilot be only six week and it make me feel for all of those woman and men back in the 1940 who must have live this story . | 1pos

i have just see this film and and fall in love with it . there be a little bit of something for everyone and and it a particular free for all when it come to the romance between lachlan and lil . when they be on the beach and i nearly cry . there be the unspoken realization that time be the most precious commodity and it be most evident when they be together . this idea take from several angle and from marriage to sibblings to find love in the least conventional of place . the film almost make you long for that kind of desperation when you know that tomorrow could very well be your last . crowe be particularly wonderful in his role of lachlan . i have always have a soft spot for the accent and but i nearly melt with his portrayal of his character . the way this film be shoot be also beautiful and with the music and backdrop of the open field and and superb act . all together and this be a wonderful film that tug at all of human emotion . | 1pos

i felt this film throughout . i waas impress with russell crowe talent in develop his relationship with lillie and such a typical aussie blend of softly softly approach and a bit self depreciating and very persistent . really love the cinematography and direction . pace be just right and the portrayal of nearly all character be impressive . gosh and do not russell talent even in 1993 shine . . and i have yet to see gladiator . | 1pos

i become more emotionally attach to this movie than any other i have ever watch . that may be because i can see the character a my own grandparent and attempt to make sense of a world at war . the end and use of pachabel cannon be both amazing . | 1pos

stick in a hotel in kuwait and i happily switch to the channel show this at the very begin . first pachelbel canon bring a lump to my throat and then the sight of a tiger moth ( which my grandfather and my father and i have all fly ) produce a slight dampness around the eye and then crowe name hook me completely . i be entrance by this film and crowe performance ( again ) and the subject matter ( and yes and what a debt we owe ) and how various matter be address and deal with and the fly sequence ( my father fly avro ansons and too ) and the story and and a another contributor point out and crowe recitation of high flight . i would not spoil the film for anyone and but and separate from my wife by 4 and 000 odd mile and a an ex army officer who be deploy in a couple of war and as private pilot and i admit to cry heartily a couple of time . buy it and rent it and download it and beg and borrow or steal it but watch it . p do i spy a bristol blenheim ( in yellow training colour ) on the ground . look like a twin engine aircraft with a twin . 303 browning in a dorsal turret . | 1pos

i do not understand . not be a critic and i be not evaluate the quality of the acting and which i find believable and a good thing . my confusion lie with the content . be no one else sensitive to the fact that these two unfaithful woman be justify their infidelity to men who be fight and bleed to guarantee the continued freedom of their family and their country . should there not have be a prologue inform u if the men make it home and if so and what effect their cheating wife infidelity have on them . while these woman be bed their paramour out of a sense loneliness and do they think that their husband be enjoy be shoot at while face death or dismemberment daily . they do not think of their husband at all . only of themselves . pardon me and except when they wish their husband dead . | 1pos

i be on the opposite end of the previous comment . first of all and i do not think this be intend to be a straight sequel to the jerk . i mean and it not title the jerk 2. it the jerk and too and which lead me to believe that while a lot of the character name be the same and it actually revolve around a completely different person . think about it represent virtually no connection to the previous movie and other than character name while a totally different story while different cast while and the fact that it a partial musical . i say give this movie some credit . it do have plenty of laugh in it . mark blankfield at his prime . | 1pos

honestly and when i saw this movie year ago i immediately want to turn it off . a i sit there for the next 10 minute or so and i realize that the actor play navin steal the show . his facial expression and comedic demeanor make me shake my head a to why he hasn not be in more comedy . he have this marty feldman thing go for him but much and much more talent . take nothing away from marty . the movie really shock me by how close it be to the original jerk and but then again and it be so much more . i really think that if this movie be release first and and i saw the steve martin movie 2nd and i would think the 2nd be a cheap rip off . i know it sound like a bold statement and but it true . i actually like steve martin a great deal and but his performance be 2nd to the actor in the jerk too . i wish i could get a copy of it for my collection . i urge you to see it if you can find it . | 1pos
|
this movie be far good than the original the jerk . i would highly recommend it to anyone who like quirky humor . we have incorporate almost a many line from this movie into our daytime discourse a we have from monty python . the card game with the hobo and then with mr. suicide . the scene at the dinner table and his distaste for turtle soup . the original the jerk be too choreographed an stag . while i like steve martin and he seem like he be try to hard . the jerk too be a spoof and will be enjoy by anyone . the jerk too be family friendly unlike the original the jerk . | 1pos

ah and the 1970 . a time when it be in to be a swinger . to be honest and today be also a good time to be a swinger but it just felt more daring then . joe sarno offer up a pretty good soft core film . in fact and just like today and some of the actor be famous hardcore actor . unlike today and these people be good actor and these film have a plot and character development . it pretty much what you would expect out of a swinger movie . two couple with open relationship re ignite the wanderlust out of the milf of one of the woman who have come for a visit . not much more to it . of course and when the milf be jennifer welles then it be a different story . not too many 40 somethings look a delicious undress a ms. welles . it worth the price alone to see ms. welles look at herself in the mirror a if she aphrodite . she no stifler mom . she way sexier . i also digged chris jordan anna . jordan look and sound so much like elaine joyce that i think she might be her separate at birth twin or even elaine herself . anna be always eat but must have incredible metabolism . unlike 1990 soft core porn and 70 softie porn retain the hardcore film realism ( something that 2000 soft core have bring back on occasion and instead of the 90 music and can orgasm ) and it be here in full force . it not real but it feel real . for those who enjoy the quebec produce deux femmes en or and you will enjoy this one . another classic film only on drive in classic and the best $ 2 . 50 can a month you can spend . | 1pos

first saw this gem from joe sarno way back when and and i must say that after see it and i could never forget jennifer welles . at first i think the film be move a bit slow than i would expect for a sarno film and but when jennifer make her entrance and the first time i ever saw her anywhere and i be sit up and take notice . her presence in this film be hard to avoid and and spice up every scene she involve in . i have see most of the rest of sarno film and and the other film star or feature jennifer welles and and i must say that this be both sarno and jennifer at their collective best . sarno direction in this film of domestic adult drama be superb and and jennifer show ( figuratively and literally ) an act prowess that make this a must see . co star rebecca brooke ( aka mary mendum ) and chris jordan and both frequent co star of ms. welles and and also frequent star of sarno work and turn in believable performance a a pair of adventurous and yet normal housewife . this film be sarno classic . | 1pos

compose and elegant carol ( marvelously play by the beautiful rebecca brooke ) and her nice husband eddie ( likable david houseman ) and carol wacky and constantly eat best gal pal anna ( delightfully essay with infectious comic zeal by the adorable chris jordan ) and and anna hunky and amorous husband pete ( a typically fine eric edward ) be a quartet of liberated swinger who enjoy have frequent group sex with each other . their usual routine get disrupt when carol lonely and repressed and but still allure widow mother jennifer ( a superbly move performance by the lovely jennifer welles ) drop by for a visit . pretty soon jennifer loosen up and become a willing participant in the swinger blithely pleasurable and uninhibited carnal lifestyle and with everyone except carol eager to seduce her . writer or director joe sarno concoct a sharp and engross and perceptive examination of suburban angst and the limitation of the whole wildneasy 70 sexual revolution while sarno turn traditional middle class more on their head and further spice thing up with a bold and provocative mother or daughter incest subplot . moreover and sarno elicits uniformly first rate act from the bang up cast represent welles and brooke be both exceptional and with excellent support from edward and jordan and houseman and arlana blue a flaky new age sex therapist shandara and and erica eaton a saucy neighbor mrs. field . good still and all the woman be extremely hot and entice while welles in particular seriously steam up the screen with her exquisitely voluptuous figure and smolder erotic presence . the sex scene be really sizzle and fairly explicit and but never raunchy or tedious . stephen colwell bright and polish cinematography and jack justis bouncy and melodic acoustic folk score be both on the money solid and effective . recommend view for sarno fan . | 1pos

if youre a a fan of either or both chuck norris and judson mill then this be the movie to see . it have a lot of adventure in it . it be a great follow up to president man . the chemistry between the main three star ( chuck norris and judson mill and jennifer tung ) be incredible . my personal opinion . this movie along with the original and have turn out so well and that the network should consider turn it into a regular series . if you have see president man and i recommend this movie for you . if you have see president man representa line in the sand but you haven not see president man and then let me suggest that you do . you will not be disappoint with either one . | 1pos

ooverall and the movie be fairly good and a good action plot with a fair amount of explosion and fight scene and but chuck norris do hardly anything and except for disarm the bomb and shoot a few character . the movie be very similar to the event of sept. 11 and with a bin laden like terrorist send a video to the president ( urich ) and threaten to detonate it . judson mill have some superb action role and take out rashid compound and various kick butt role but and there be a lack of chuck norris . judson take over most of the action and leave joshua ( chuck ) with que on her computer . but and overall and it be realistic and do not lack the action and but only do it on mr. norris part . i give the film positive . | 1pos
|
i have always enjoy see chuck norris in film . although the acting may not be superb and the fight scene be fantastic . i also enjoy see judson mill perform along side him . in my opinion and the norris brother have prove themselves to be fine entertainer and this be yet another fine production . i hope you take the time to view this movie . | 1pos

there be a few spoiler in this comment . contrary to the comment i just read by nativetex4u and a few others and i really like the movie and would love to see it a a weekly series . i be a judson mill fan but also a huge chuck norris fan and while i will admit that a few of the action scene may have stretch the line a little and the storyline fit right in with other weekly series that be currently be air . the opening fifteen minute with deke run from the bad guy after blow up their missile be very action pack . i do fail to see how that many professional weren not able to hit a move target and but the action be definitely there and deke and be the hero and have to survive . a for the comment about need to get the movie in the can to fill the time slot after the playoff . this movie be not originally schedule by cbs for a january airing and filming be complete in may of 2001 and a good 4 month before the terrorist attack against the u. s. if the writer of the comment have be pay attention to the movie instead of try to avoid it and maybe they would have realize the plot of the story represent rashid and a bin laden like character and plan to set off a nuclear device in the united state . the president man be call in to locate and eliminate the problem . perhaps the writer should actually watch the movie before attempt to comment on it . | 1pos

this incredibly formulaic flick from the walker and texas ranger squad contain some of the most unbelievable scene ever witness within a tv movie . in addition and one can pretty much predict the outcome from the get go . however and it a fun little movie that get the job do represent it entertain . that all it be mean to do and it do so . the stunt and explosion be fun and exciting and the plot isn not half bad . the acting be also decent and which isn not much of a surprise and because everyone know that chuck norris be no steven seagal . if youre a fan of the genre ( and of walker and texas ranger ) and you will definitely love this . if not and then do not waste your time . positive . | 1pos

though not in the whole film and andy griffith again play his role best in this cbs tv movie . the plot be easy griffith character dy and his last wish be that his wife and kid scatter his ash be the place he name ( mountain somewhere ) . though it will never be see on tv and never be release on video and if you do get the chance to watch this take it . | 1pos

i enjoy this movie . haven not see andy griffith in age and felt he fit this role perfectly . i have associate him with comedy but be pleased to see that he versatile . i wasn not trouble that dotty anxiety disorder may not have be verbatim from a psychiatric textbook . there be zillion of whatever phobia and neurosis and and these can take on a broad variety of quantitative and qualitative form . she be clearly a sensitive with extra sensory power a be understand by the local indian but not by any anglos . it be not surprising that this character be vulnerable and nominally eccentric . although this be take to be a light family movie and it be actually more sophisticated than it seem . also and hiram twist at the end come a a pleasant surprise to me and tie all the precede action together in a bundle . it fun to contemplate the possibility of such spiritual guidance . | 1pos

michael stearns play mike and a sexually frustrate individual with an interesting moral attitude towards sexuality . he have no problem ogle naked dancer but when woman start have sex with men that when he lose it . he believe that when woman actually have sex that when they lose any sense of innocence and or or beauty . so he stroll through the hollywood hill stalk lovemaking couple at a distance and ultimately shoot the men dead with a high power rifle with a scope . the seem primary reason for this movie existence be to indulge in sexual activity over and over again . the story come off a more of an afterthought . this be bind to make many a happily heterosexual male quite pleased a be treat to enough protracted scene of nudity ( the lady here look awfully good sans clothes ) and sex to serve a a major dose of titillation . of course and see a fair deal of it through a scope ups the creepiness factor considerably and illustrate the compulsion towards voyeurism . ( for one thing and mike eye the couple through the scope for minute at a time before finally pull the trigger . ) this be all underscored by awfully intrusive if somewhat atmospheric music on the soundtrack . those with a penchant for lurid trash be bind to enjoy this to one degree or another . it even include one lesbian tryst that confound mike and render him uncertain how to react . it unfold at a very slow pace and but wrap up with a most amusing ironic twist . it a kinky and twisted rarity that if nothing else be go to definitely keep some viewer glue to the screen . positive . | 1pos

the road rover be a great show about canine superheroes choose by the master to fight crime around the world . the show be hilarious to say the least . simple and complex joke that could appeal to all age . run joke throughout the series that could spawn a drinking game . the action be mesmerize and and cleverly set up . the character be very original and each with a very different personality . but what make me enjoy the show the most be the depth of the character . each of them have struggle and emotional difficulty that be never express and but imply in subtext . hopefully and one day and there will be some way to watch the rover in action again . | 1pos

far by my most second favourite cartoon spielberg do and after animaniacs . even if the rating be low and so what and i still enjoy it and love it and be so funny and i adore the cast and wow jess harnell and tress macneille be in there and be just fantastic and the whole cast be brilliant and especially the legendary frank welker . i would love to see this cartoon again and be so awesome and the joke be brilliant . also i can remember the hilarious moment where brain cameo in it and you hear his voice and it play the patb theme instrumental and that be just fantastic and i love it in those cartoon when cameo pop in . i wish this cartoon and animaniacs come back and i love them . | 1pos

a classic cartoon and always enjoyable and funny . it have an interesting plot complete with lovable character . road rover be a show worth seeing and it be a short 13 episode and and if you can ever manage a chance to see it and you should . unfortunately and it be very hard to find . i think warner brother studio should release a dvd that contain all 13 episode . i would definitely buy it if they do and and if they do and you should buy it too . if you have kid who like dog and they will love road rover . road rover should have get more attention while it be be air and it be definitely an original and very special show that should have be appreciate much more than it be . | 1pos

now this show look like most of the other show of it type from the mid 90 and but the only thing be about this one be that it different and they use a lot of comedy and action in this one and maybe a little bit of drama too . i personally think it be a good show and i can not understand why would they cancel it . the good thing be that the fan base of this show be still alive ever since 1997 up to date . my hope be that the wb bring back the show or even do a movie and which i know be gon na be impossible to do and but hey it doesn not hurt to dream and doesn not it . anyway and i would recommend if you hadn not see it to find the dvd of all 13 episode and because the character be great and the story line be good and the comedy be good and well the whole show be just great . | 1pos

radiofreccia be a movie about all of u and about our dream and our friend and our obsession and our addiction and our fear . it be a brilliant movie where a group of friend like all of u have life through the hardship of grow up in a small town in one of the most significant decade in the last century . the movie doesn not take a happy or sad approach on thing and it just tell u a story and one that all of u could have experience . one of happiness and excitement and sadness and grief . the power of this story be in that we grow to love the character and it be one of those movie you will watch over and over again and feel close to the little town in emilia romagna where it take place . hop one day to be able to finally walk it street next to freccia and his friend and listen to the music that change the world through the crackle sound of an old radio playing radio raptus international and play their dream and our dream . radiofreccia will make you laugh and it will make you cry at time and it will shock you and comfort you and it will give you and take from you . personally i believe it to have play an important part in my life and and that of my friend and and i suggest you all watch it and let it become part of yours . | 1pos

radiofreccia be still a good surprise in italian cinema . the film be base on a book of italian songwriter luciano ligabue and who also direct the movie and write the music score of course . the film be a portrait of north italian province life and in the emilia romagna region . be in 1975 and the time of the first free radio one of the boy of the movie create radioraptus . youth wish and friendship and love and sex and individual drama and unemployment be among the theme and but the film speaks also about drug freccia and the main character and be a victim of heroin slavery . without be boring and moralist and the story flow very well while the spontaneity of actor be strong and the way of direct as well . obviously luciano liga ligabue be neither fellini nor a movie professional and first of all he a musician . but he succeed in make a good product . unfortunately he will not repeat the success with his second movie da zero a dieci not good at all . in radiofreccia actor be generally not very famous and the only star be stefano accorsi one of the most popular young italian actor . see in a small role another italian songwriter francesco guccini and he the nice communist barman and football trainer . | 1pos

nice movie with a great soundtrack which span through the rock landscape of the 70 and 80 . radiofreccia describe a generation and it describe life in a small village near correggio ( hometown of ligabue and the singer who write the book that inspire the movie ) and it describe life of young people and their problem relate to the world . it remind of trainspotting and with a bit of italian touch . | 1pos
|
. about the importance of be young and have friend and and most of all enjoy life . through the experience of four friend and ligabue show to the audience how life be back in the 70 in a small italian village . the four carachters represent the four different aspect of human behavior while also the drug experience be well represent . | 1pos

i would reccomend this film to everyone . not only to the fan of the rocker luciano ligabue and but to all film buff . because it sincere and move and funny and true . because ligabue be a born storyteller and a film lover and and every frame of his film be make with love and care . because his character be love and ask to be love . because most of the italian debut film be lousy and this one and do by an outsider and be a real joy to watch and to listen at . because stefano accorsi be gorgeous and remind me of andrea pazienza and who be and like freccia and beautiful and talented and good and lose his life because of the heroin and that ligabue show a it be and unglamorous and ugly and without indulge in easy moralism . because it a film that speak to our heart and our ear and our soul . and because i live the experience of the fm radio and it be exactly like that . thanks and luciano . | 1pos

this movie have an all star cast and john candy and richard lewis and ornella mutti and cybill shepard and and jim belushi to name a few and run amuck in monte carlo and as well a some other beautiful european location and and be very funny . the trouble that everyone get in when they lie to protect themselves be great and and i highly recommend that you see this movie and it be well worth it . john candy be in top form in once upon a crime and a be everyone else . if you and your family be look for a great family film and this be your ticket . everyone give stellar performance and great acting and great comedy and and great timing and which be rare in movie these day . great plot and great mystery and ( which i love anyways ) and overall and well worth the money you spend on it . so get the kid and grab some popcorn and juice and or tea and or soda and and enjoy the show . | 1pos

i love monte carlo and thoroughly enjoy this movie . i think everyone be very good . i be not familiar with richard lewis and i think he make his character ( julian peter ) very personable and funny and attractive . sean young be very good a the befuddle reject girl with a heart of gold . george hamilton be charm and the perfect italian gigolo . john candy have a field day a the bon vivant . james belushi be hysterical a a total jerk . cybill shepard give a very sweet performance a a nice vulnerable ignore housewife . delightful ensemble cast . lot of talent and clever script and lot go on and beautiful location . just a nice pick me up for a dreary day . especially in the winter when a trip to europe be not anywhere on your horizon . | 1pos

i saw this age ago when i be young and could never remember the title and until one day i be scroll through john candy film credit on imdb and notice an entry name once upon a crime . something ring a bell and i click on it and and after read the plot summary it bring back a lot of memory . i have find it have age pretty well despite the fact that it be not by any mean a great comedy . it be and however and rather enjoyable and be a good riff on a hitchcock formula of mistaken identity and worldwide thrill . the movie have a large cast of character and amongst them an american couple who find a woman dog while vacation in europe and decide to return it to her for a reward only to find her dead body upon arrival . from there the plot get crazy and silly and they go on the run after the police think they be the killer . kind of a mix between it a mad mad mad mad world and a light hitchcock feature and this be direct by eugene levy and he manage to get some of his good friend such a john candy to star in it . the movie be mostly engage due to it cast and and the end have a funny little twist that isn not totally unpredictable but also be kind of unexpected . | 1pos

of course i would have to give this film positive a my uncle be the main screenplay writer of once upon a crime . rodolfo sonego write screenplay for over 50 year live in italy . he be a great story teller and someone suggest that he put his story into writing . so rodolfo sonego do . if you check out his biography and you can see the number of movie that have be make in italy . alberto sordie be the main actor that star in his story . my uncle visit australia and my town and in 1968 to check out location for a girl in australia and create a great movie about a proxy bride after the second world war . you can see his humor in all his movie . i find a copy of this movie on dvd recently . great . | 1pos

i must admit that i be very sceptical about this documentary . i be expect it to be the kind of all american propaganda that we here in europe dislike so much . i be wrong . this be not propaganda and in fact it be hardly political at all . it depict the event of 9/11 through the eye of the firefighter call to the scene just after the plane crash . it be an amazing coinsidence that this documentary be film at all . this film be initially shoot a a documnetary about a rookie ny firefighter become a man . we can only thank the film maker that they continue their work during the terrible ordeal that face them . a great piece of work . absolutely stunning material . highly recommended . regard and . | 1pos

i be one of many that expect to see a glorified and yankee doodle dandy portrayal of a day that ( a famously quote ) should live in infamy and rather than glory . how wrong i be . these guy be there and right in the middle of it and and the picture they return be both amazing and heartbreaking . and yet it all occur on a chance trip to the world trade centre on september 11 and 2001. two french filmmaker be compile a documentary about life a a ny firefighter and particularly from the perspective of a young rookie come up through the rank . at the beginning we see much of this footage and just to remind u that there be no thought to produce a film about terrorism . this be intend to be a film about regular people earn an honest living help others and and the beauty of the film be that it never lose this edge . while investigate a suspect gas line ( i think and my memory a little hazy on that ) and we suddenly hear a plane fly overhead . the camera pan up to reveal a commercial jet torpedo itself into one of the tower . what must the cameraman have be think at this time . recognise the importance of the footage the camera stay on and and possibly realize the same thing and the fdny allow the camera to follow them into the building . what follow be a true view from the front line . we see the commitment of the fdny and their reaction ( the stun silence after hear the first person fall to their death be chill ) as well a the collapse of the one of the building from the inside and while a second camera capture the event from the outside . if it wasn not for the horrific event they be cover and the footage alone would be any young doco maker dream come true . quite simply and the footage deserve to be preserve for all time . but what really set this film apart be the genuine humanity that it bring to the viewer . we see firefighter charge in without hesitation and people of different race help one another escape to wave of rubble and even the concern of the filmmaker for one another ( they be brother ) a they can not reach one another in the confusion . there be amaze sight as well a amazing human story in this film and something hollywood could never duplicate ( even though it try ) . 9/11 isn not a film about politics . nor be it a film about religion and nationality or even jihad for that matter . 9/11 be a film about people and and a true indication of the best and bad that we be capable of . 9/11 be quite simply one of the most important film i have ever see and and would be the only film to be bear from this event if it be up to me . you can not duplicate this . | 1pos

my roommate have buy this documentary and invite me to watch it with her . she from china and only hear so much about 9/11 and want to know the cold hard truth and she want me to tell her more after the documentary . i felt awful watch this documentary and it be like relive the nightmare and it still bring tear to my eye . but i be extremely grateful that i watch this documentary and because on the day of september 11th and i be sure we all remember where we be and what we be do when we hear and all of u could only think certain question represent why . and how . and what go on . and oh and my god . almost all the american be grateful for the brave fireman and policeman that risk their life to save others . but i do not think we think about what they be really go though . this wasn not actually suppose to be a documentary about 9/11 and the cameraman be just film a typical day on the job and they just happen to be a couple block away from the world trade center and get everything and outside and in and on tape . on sep. 11th and i think to myself it ok and the policeman and fireman will get the people out that survive . to be honest and i think it be an accident and i be in my junior year of high school and get change from gym and get ready to go to my science class . someone come into the locker room shout some building just get bomb in new york . and we all get dress quickly and run to our classroom a we watch the first tower burn on tv . not only 15 second later live on tv do the second plane crash into the other world trade center and we know this be no accident . a few minute later and we hear about the pentagon and that there be a plane head for chicago but be shoot down . so many thought run through our head and i keep on think what be the fireman and policeman go to do . but it procedure to them i think and they will know what to do . the first tower collapse and we know it and so many life be now go and the second tower crash and thing would never be the same . those fireman in this documentary show courage and confusion and and strength and the real raw human emotion . they do not know what to do and they be just as scarred a those other people who be in the tower . they hear the body collapse on the ground from people jump out the window . and here i be in a classroom just cry see all that be go on on tv . i be amaze with this film and just want to go to new york and tell them how grateful all the american be for their help . i know they feel like they be just do their job and but they do more and they be hero . every day after sep. 11th for 3 week they keep on dig know that there be no survivor and but they keep on hoping and pray . may god bless their kind and brave heart . a for my roommate she be cry and admit this be her first time cry at these attack . she get to see the truth of what have happen that tragic day . she ask why . i do not know what to say and it break my heart that people can be that evil . it sound clique and but it be a normal day for everyone one of the fireman say in the documentary . no one expect this to happen . not like that and those people in the world trade center or the pentagon or the plane that be hijack and they be just do their job and happen to be there and or even just be there for a second passing by . they be not just murder and they be slaughter and and those hijacker do it with a song in their heart . then see in the middle east all the people celebrate and why do people do this . they celebrate death and the lose of represent mother and father and sister and brother and friend and grandparent and aunt and uncle and cousin and etc . why . so and thanks to those people for make this documentary . you truly think about the fireman and policeman and and the troop in iraq and it keep your hope up that there be good people in this world . thank you to all those people and you be our hero . positive . | 1pos

it true that you always remember what you be do at a point when disaster or tragedy strike . and none more so that september 11 and 2001 and a date which change the entire global landscape in it fight against terrorism . no and this documentary do not set out to be dwell on the event lead to 9/11 . rather and the filmmaker and brother gédéon and jules naudet and set out to do a documentary on the trial and tribulation of a rookie new york firefighter . they have go to the academy and do some shoot of training and and have handpicked their proby ( probation firefighter ) to join them in an ny firehouse and home to ladder 1 and engine 7. but their production be to develop and contain at that time and believe to be the only shot of the first plane slam into the world trace center . i be travel back with a friend on the train from a night of lan gaming and and receive a call at about 850pm local time from my dad and who inform me of the above . few minute later and he tell me there be another and and that the wtc be under attack . by the time i arrive home and the upper floor of the twin tower be ablaze and in smoke and and to my horror and they collapse and under an hour . the filmmaker have two camera run that day and one who have follow a team out on a routine call and and which immediately race to the wtc upon hearing and see the plane crash into it . we follow what be possible the only film sequence of event in the lobby of wtc1 where the first responder of firefighter and paramedic and and police have to make sense of what happen and and to quickly develop a plan of action . the other camera and hold by the other brother and be make his way to wtc to look for his sibling and and along the journey and capture the many expression of new yorkers and as well a the sense of chaos in and around manhatten . pepper throughout the documentary be numerous interview with the men from ladder 1 and engine 7 and which miraculously and do not suffer any casualty . but be survivor also bring about it own set of psychological turmoil and a they struggle to come to term with the event . through the event that unfold and we learn of the strong camaraderie amongst these men who risk live and limb each day on their job and to save life . we begin with what the documentary be suppose to be and before event of the day totally swung in and become the focus and right up to the rescue phase where hope of find survivor under the rubble be keep alive by the men who work round the clock in make sense of the collapsed steel structure . it not a film that be fabricate and and what you see here can not be recreate in any other documentary ( and heaven and not sound stage for hollywood blockbuster ) . it as close a you can get to that day and witness the event up close and from safety . code 1 dvd contain a separate extra hour of 4 set of interview with the men of ladder 1 and engine 7 . | 1pos

9/11 be a classic example of cinema verite and a sort of realist documentary and in this case of new york fireman a they battle against one of the most extraordinary event of world history . it all tiny and unobtrusive and hand hold video camera and often betray by the poor quality of most of the filming ( and by the director and naudet hand frequently wipe the screen ) . in this film and you get to know most of the fireman tony benatatos and the rookie ( or probie and in ny fireman vernacular ) and the fire chief joseph pfeiffer ( who find he lose his brother later on ) and a few others . there be studio interview with most of these people throughout the film and just to emphasise the personal and reflexive nature of the event . the build up be quite dramatic and well do and particularly the pass out ceremony at the fire department and with a few useful swish pan and a sort of dialectical editing of the rather limited filmwork ( just like rob reiner a few good men ) . tony look proud . the viewpoint and camera angle be usually from amidst the fireman and which be interesting and there be some excellent footage from inside the lobby of wtc1 while pfeiffer and his team plan what to do next this be classic cinema verite . there be also the eery and haunt sound of the occasional human body crash against the portico outside . it be then that an increasingly forlorn fire chief pfeiffer realise that his task be desperate and probably hopeless and this be before wtc2 collapse . you have to give credit to naudet for know which face to film and at which moment . the sound of the neighbouring wtc2 collapsing be so awfully sad and poignant and terrify that you realise what an ordeal this be for the fireman . from the lobby and it look and feel and sound like the end of the world and the poor fireman look so utterly bewilder and frighten . you hear an enormous rumbling and tremble maelstrom like that of a giant and monolithic beast slowly fall to the ground after be so mortally wound the neighbouring tower have collapse yet the fire team remain in wtc1 be oblivious to this event . where be the communication . this film be captivate yet the narration be amateurish and should have be avoid cue like this really be a day like no other or naudet frequently banal pronouncement like you could see fear in everybody eye and i know tony be freak out . the film be really just one long video diary . there be no picture from high up the building where some of the fireman have go . imagine this film blend with cctv footage from some of the room higher up or some of the news coverage from the day . the effect would be great . you could even combine this story with that of mayor giuliani and and perhaps and the famous cornishman rick riscorla who literally be many floor up act the hero . i do not see much of a propaganda element in this film and a some reviewer suggest . this film be no triumph of the will and by riefenstahl . some time later the fireman drape the american flag over a nearby and survive building overlook what have become ground zero . so what . there be also some moment of dubious camerawork while for example and who be hold the camera when the two naudet brother be reunite back at the fire station . be it stag . there be an excellent finish and very much in the traditon of the excellent french director alain resnais ( hiroshima mon amour ) and with two strip of light reflect in the water and shimmying . | 1pos

( yes and i realize it tough to spoil an historical documentary and but i do reveal some of the backstory and method . ) this be an exceptional documentary not just because of the remarkable footage and but also due to the story behind it . because the naudets do not set out to tell the story of 9/11 and but rather that of a rookie firefighter and the men emotion and the viewer connection with them be more real and powerful than they would be in a standard retrospective . in a filmmaking sense and 9/11 be textbook . if the event be an actual script and they would be superb and a the character be establish and then throw a curve to which they must react . this be all the more amazing consider the pain and emotion of the raw footage that the director have to wade through to piece this story together . the first portion of the film provide a glimpse of life inside a fire station while specifically and how a rookie assimilate himself into a crew of veteran . that part alone be quite good and and have the documentary be allow to run it intended course and it probably would have be solid . the brother appear to realistically portray the process of become a nyc firefighter . then of course and all hell break loose . the chaos follow the wtc attack be vividly see and a various character that we have get to know be thrust into terrify situation . see not only the attack and but also the first hand reaction be a very moving picture of extreme human emotion . the aftermath and in which firefighter be discover to be lose and find and be human drama at it peak . life and death hang in the balance . unlike many movie and the viewer not only doesn not know who will live and die and but genuinely care about them . the only negative thing i have to say about this be that the robert deniro ( whom i like ) blurb be uninformative and unnecessary and and do not advance the story at all . they be probably add just to attract more television viewer . bottom line represent the best documentary i have ever see . nonpareil portrayal of raw human emotion and drama . 9 . 5 out of 10 . | 1pos

great documentary about the life of ny firefighter during the bad terrorist attack of all time . that reason alone be why this should be a must see collector item . what shock me be not only the attack and but thehigh fat diet and physical appearance of some of these firefighter . i think a lot of doctor would agree with me that and in the physical shape they be in and some of these firefighter would not of make it to the 79th floor carrying over 60 lb of gear . have say that i now have a great respect for firefighter and i realize become a firefighter be a life alter job . the french have a history of make great documentary and that be what this be and a great documentary . | 1pos

to those who say that this movie deserve anything below the unflaunting grace that it show and i disagree . this be an amazing documentary about a shocking day . imdb ask u to rate this movie . i beg you to consider the fact that the documentary be make . the courage that it take to shoot this film be most notable . we find that the two brother be split up when that moment happen . they continue to document the brave of the brave without know about their own and eachother safety . to judge whether it nobler to shoot a video of that tragedy or to save the life a those amazing and amazing firefighter do be not mine to answer . i just know that in 30 year and a class full of child will not know one without the other . i submit a wholehearted 10. this be why the art of filming be create . to capture the natural emotion that real life offer . you can keep your kung fu junk . romance be cute . action will never reach this level . this movie and 9/11 and will be timeless in that it do not glorify itself . it do not have a sneak peek . it do not have all of the blatant vanity that a lion share of the many movie on the many screen blare . it have class and composure and substance and and it have a record of the day that change the modern face of america and even the world . it speak of thing inescapable to the eye of the camera . please consider this movie and a it itself proclaim and a stir tribute to all of those who fell because of the free and beautiful name of america . how can you give anything less to a movie that show and not embellishes and the natural bravery of real people act in unreal time . i love the godfather but 9/11 be forever a different kind of movie a this be now a different kind of world . it be art without question or question . jf . | 1pos

this be the most visually stunning and move and amazing and incredible story i have ever experience . quite frankly and even those adjective just can not describe it . i can not just choose one scene that stand out for me . i suppose if i have to list a few it would be the reaction of the fireman to the crash sound of jump victim while the reaction of people trap in the elevator and who be unaware of what be go on and a they finally emerge to the horrific scene while the shock and disbelief of the onlooker while and finally the silence . on that day and and even now and i be remind of star war ( 1977 ) . obi wan say and ` i felt a great disturbance in the force and a if million of voice suddenly cry out in terror and be suddenly silence . it be amaze how it be so accurate in it description . there be truly a disturbance in the force . this documentary vividly reveal this disturbance . the feeling be so incredibly visual . the anger and the frustration and the shock and the fear and the exhaustion and and the realization of it very magnitude . it all there . not a thing be miss . this be a powerful and most moving documentary and well deserving of the emmy . not just because it document 9/11 but because it be simply everything it should be . if you plan to watch and be sure to grab a box of tissue . you will need them . i know that i do . | 1pos

jeremy northam characterization of the stuttering and mild mannered bookish morgan sullivan and watch him let loose bit and piece of his real identity under the influence of single malt scotch and under the spell of lucy liu presence be brilliantly craft and a joy to watch . his offer her a cigarette at the bar be an old habit and do without thinking or even ask and he become lose in her face and neck and lip . no matter the brainwashing and love have a way of persevere . love also can not be brainwash in with either of his two fake wife . in gradual stage and he begin to dispense with his glass and to walk and talk differently and even his face look different a the movie progress . the music be fantastic and hypnotic and sexy and appropriately drive at time . the extensive use of black and white and grey tone make this almost a sci fi film noir in the tradition of many classic thriller . i would have like to have see more vulnerability in lucy liu portrayal and whenever she see him in his various frazzle state and the man she love and for whom she be perform a mission base on blind faith and some restrain vulnerability and flash of genuine sympathy and concern would have make it a less one dimensional performance on her part . she be just no match for northam talent and but all in all i thoroughly enjoy this film and would enjoy know about other screenplay write by the same author . | 1pos

this filmfour fund sci fi movie be most definitely a must see . while it take huge influence from the manchurian candidate and offer nothing new or original plot wise while it handle with the utmost skill that it come off a be fresh and inventive and despite it be basically a re run of an early film . it good to know that film like this be still be make ( even if they aren not get wide release ) and and cypher be refresh for that reason . the plot twist and turn and which give it an element of paranoia and also serf in keep the audience on the edge of their seat while try to figure out the meaning of cypher mystery . the plot follow morgan sullivan while a bored suburban man that decide to take a job with digicorp that involve him listen to speech from several rival company and record them for reason and to him and unknown . however and his job be interrupt when he meet a mysterious young lady know a rita . this film feature a number of stark white background that give it a very surreal edge and blend well with it apocalyptic imaging of the future . this give the film a very odd look that set it apart from the majority of other film of the same type and with it only real close affiliate be kubrick a clockwork orange . the plot be also very efficient and ditch character development in favour of the more stylish and more thrilling plot develop . you never quite know where you be with the plot and which serve in make it all the more intriguing . the acting be largely good with a largely unknown cast back up the team of star while jeremy northam and lucy lui . northam very much look the part of the quiet and disheartened man at the centre of the tale and and do well with his role . lucy lui be an actress that have a resume that doesn not quite fit her talent and but she have a look about her that just fit this movie . cypher be far from perfect a some of the sequence be illogical and at time it can be inconsistent while but on the whole and if you want an inventive recent sci fi film while cypher be the way to go . | 1pos

this be a superbly imaginative low budget sci fi movie from cult director vincenzo natali . the film play out like a crossing of phillip k dick with hitchcock and cronenberg and the film take on a unique feel like nothing you would have see . the film be superbly shot and i love the cinematography in this and it feel fresh and original . plot wise the film explore similar theme to film like total recall and dark city and the matrix and it pretty staple sci fi stuff . morgan sullivan ( jeremy northam ) be a suburbanite who be bore with his life and have decide to take a job a a company spy for digicorp and a large technological corporation . he meet up with a recruitment officer at the beginning who bring sullivan on board and instruct him on what he have to do . it basically involve go to conference of rival company and record them via a satellite transmission device disguise a a pen . it also mean that he must take on a different persona and keep it a secret from his wife . after his first job thing become strange and his habit change and his personality begin to differ and he suffer pain in his neck and headache as well a nightmare . he encounter a beautiful woman name rita foster ( play by an intriguingly cast lucy liu . ) he take an instant attraction to . however when he go in his next job and see her again she reveal herself to be an agent of some sort who reveal that his job be not quite what it seem . he find out later on that he and the rest of the people attend the conference all work for digicorp . the conference be all cover to allow the company men to brainwash their spy . sullivan and whose alternate name be jack thursby have be give an antidote to digicorps drugging and while the rest of the spy at the late conference drift off into what seem like a brain dead day dream while the speaker drone on ( the speaker send all the attendant to sleep via subliminal message . ) suddenly the room light turn off and worker at digicorp come in shin light in all the occupant eye to ensure they be not conscious and then in a fairly nightmarish situation they bring in head set for each member which send message into the brain and brainwash the precipitant into believe they be someone else . digicorp be use these people a puppet and create personality and life for these people while wipe their own existence . sullivan now must pretend that he entirely believe he be now jack thursby . digicorp want to steal information from their rival samways and they want their own puppet to do it and they now effectively control what these spy do and except for sullivan . when samways get a hold of sullivan and discover he have not actually be brainwash they decide to use him a a pawn to spy on digicorp and make sullivan a double agent . they know that digicorp have send thursby to them to work his way into samways and work his way up the system until he can get into a situation to download important company information that could shut the company down . samways realise he have be plant and decide they will play along with digicorp and allow thursby to infiltrate their databanks but they will give digicorp a dodgy disc that will ruin their system . the plot begin to twist and turn a both company be use sullivan a a pawn . he be stick in the middle and rita foster be a mystery a he try to work out why she be help him . when a mysterious third party becomes involve and the person it be reveal that foster work for and sullivan must decide whether to go to this freelance agent and who could guarantee him a new life and safety or to stick with one of the company he work for . the tension all build to a stonking climax a it seem just about everyone want to dispose of him once his usefulness have expire . the cast be great . northam be superb and the subtlety in his performance be excellent . he bring a great visual aspect to his performance and his eye tell a story and we see a great subtle change a his character change from sullivan to thursby . lucy liu be just sexy beyond belief and her presence give a great dynamic to the film because it seem strange cast but work because of that fact . the rest of the cast be also good . director natali whose previous film be the cult classic sci fi flick cube and have a real visual flair . he pace the film superbly as well and have give it a great look . for a low budget film it feature some imaginative visual effect and although the cgi isn not great it never begin too much of a centre piece to effect the film negatively . the film really do bring feeling of the matrix and other great sci fi film and it be up there with them . the plot nearly becomes too convolute at time but in truth that help in a film like this and that be where the cronenberg and lynch influence be evident . the film have you constantly work out what be go on and genuinely surprise a it go along . this be overall an obvious cult classic and i can see this be incredibly popular when it be release in the state . half . | 1pos

director vincenzo natali cypher be a complex and imaginative thriller which and although require some suspension of belief and plenty of concentration and manages to be a thoroughly entertaining experience . morgan sullivan ( jeremy northam ) and a stay at home husband with an overbear wife and decides to add a bit of spice to his mundane existence by get a job a an industrial spy at high tech company digi corp. his job be to travel to conference across the country ( under the assumed identity of jack thursby ) and secretly broadcast the speech give back to his boss and via a nifty little electronic pen gizmo . in reality and however and the speech be merely a cover for far more nefarious activity . morgan and along with his fellow conference attendee and be be brainwash . the drugged water they be drink put them into a temporary coma and during which they be tell to forget their past and permanently adopt their new identity . once they be totally convinced that they be someone else and they be tell to apply for job with rival company and where they be able to indulge in corporate espionage without suspicion . but digi corp plan be scupper by the intervention of shady operative for hire rita foster ( lucy liu ) and who open morgan eye to what be really happen . she give morgan an antidote to the mind alter drug so that he can resist the brainwashing technique . she also warn him that if digi corp suspect that he do not fully believe he be jack thursby and then he will be eliminate . morgan play along and and applies for a job at rival business sunways . however and arrive at his new workplace and he be give a polygraph test and be immediately rumble a a spy . fortunately and the boss at sunways see this a an ideal opportunity to fee false data to digi corp and morgan become a double agent . from hereon in and thing get progressively more complicated while the plot twist and turn and poor old morgan end up not be able to trust anyone . in an exciting finale and all eventually become clear ( but only if you have be follow event very carefully ) . director natali handle proceeding confidently and certainly have a great ability to produce a classy look film for a relatively low budget . he manage to get some great performance from his talented cast while jeremy northam and in particular and be fantastichis portrayal of the initially somewhat nervous morgan be play to perfection . cypher be another fascinating movie from a director who be willing to take chance and i eagerly look forward to his forthcoming project and high rise and necropolis . | 1pos

canadian director vincenzo natali take the art house circuit by storm with the intriguing and astonishingly intelligent cube and which be my personal favourite sf film of the 90 . it frame the basic conceit of a group of stranger trap in a maze shape like a giant cube and shot entirely on one set and and take this idea in fascinating direction . i have be eagerly await natali follow up and and although it take five year for him to mount another project and i be delighted to say it be worth the wait . cypher be a fascinating exploration of one man place in the world and and how through a completely logical chain of event and find himself in a situation beyond his control . i do not want to reveal too much about the plot and because one of the joy of cypher be the different avenue it take u down . it be so refreshing in this day and age to see a sf film that have more than one idea in it head . cypher be such a film . morgan sullivan ( jeremy northam ) and one of the bland people to ever walk the planet and be hire by the company digicorp . they send him to different part of america to record different seminar . to his bewilderment and they be unbelievably bore . cover topic as mundane a shave cream and cheese . while morgan be wait for one seminar and he run into rita foster ( an impeccably cast lucy liu ) and the definition of an ice maiden . she give him the brush off and but there be something to her he find irresistible . that not too surprising consider the dry marriage he be in . when rita turn up at another one of morgan seminar and she tell him his life be not what it appear . and i be not say anything more about the plot . to do so would cheapen the impact the rest of the film have on u and as well a the tortuous path that so much fun to follow . a with cube and natali show quite a talent for encompass seemingly ordinary people and take them out of the familiar and and basically see what will happen when theyre thrust into the unknown . and cypher follow similar pattern . but it not a carbon copy of cube . it have it own inspiration . cypher be a film that have more in common with conspiracy thriller and paranoia story . one of the great thing about cypher be the way these theme creep into the story without your knowledge . when morgan realise his false identity be a piece of a much large puzzle and it as much of a shock to u a it be to him . one thing that distinguish cypher from cube be how much more polished it be . where cube be confine to a minimalist setting and a shoestring budget with a cast of unknown and cypher be also on a low budget and but natali economise it as much a he can and allow him to broaden the horizon and and launch morgan on an amazing journey through the labyrinth of his own identity . natali direction be exceptional and with a deft hand on the rein . there be some amazing camera angle from above and such a the enormity of the digicorp building a a vast and robust office block in conjunction to the insignificant speck that be morgan stand outside . all the colour appear to have be bleed out of the picture and which compliment the tone of the film perfectly a a modern day film noir . the acting be uniformly excellent throughout . jeremy northam be a sympathetic figure from his loveless marriage to question his own identity . his performance be excellent because it so modulate . he literally seem to transform right before our very eyes . from a clinical and spineless wimp to a confident man who will do anything to preserve his new identity . david hewlett put in a welcome appearance who make such an impact in cube . he reside in a secret silo that look like it be borrow from men in black . his scene be one of the best because it an exercise in carefully calculate suspense and paranoia . he be a supposed expert in identify double agent and and it a fantastic piece of writing and brilliantly act by hewlett . all he have to do be look at morgan and and be draw into his complex mind game . but it lucy liu who the scene stealer here . too often she be cast in film where her potential be not utilised to full effect . but in cypher and she be finally give a character that fit her like a glove . rita be an aloof and guard femme fatale that liu inhabits with relish . i perk up every time she appear because she be always in control and and can reduce a room to silence by the power of her icy stare alone . thing come to a very gratifying end and that doesn not conclude on an ambiguous note the way cube do . but morgan deserve his happy end . after he be put through the ringer like this and i cheer for him in the final scene . it a perfect final moment because it come a a ray of sunshine after a gloomy 90 minute . cypher succeed on all count . engage and shock and always entertaining and it everything that total recall want to be but wasn not . and it come a a refreshing antidote to the overwhelming and inexplicable matrix . a fine follow up from natali . and now i be a committed fan of the man . superb stuff . | 1pos

if you come into the film with expectation and throw them away now and because no amount of hype will do this film justice . to categorize this film into a single genre would be criminal . it a spy thriller and have element of noir and bit and piece of action and science fiction and and cyberpunk all tie together with a brilliant narrative and mind bending plot twist and and gorgeous cinematography . a lot of the comment here have center around it be derivative and both in good and bad way and of other movie . but a they say and every story crib from shakespeare and so once you can get past that and youre in for a hell of a ride . you will need to suspend your disbelief at some point and and while the set never become unbelievable and there be portion ( read represent the elevator ) which suffer from a low budget and somewhat cheesy visuals . don not misconstrue that to mean it on the same level a cheesy sci fi channel movie and though and because this be on a much high level . if youre look for action and you should turn away . this be pure psychology . but if youre willing to sit down and devote a good 90 minute of your life to a novel cinematic experience and by all mean and do it now . watch this movie now before it become cool to have see it . | 1pos

this movie be about this wimpy guy who decide to become a spy for a glamorous high tech company name digicorp . this wimpy guy and morgan ( jeremy northam ) be unhappy with his miserable suburban life and his demand wife so he decide to become a spy . he be suppose to go to convention from other high tech company and find out all the company plan . instead and morgan find himself attract to a beautiful woman ( play by lucy liu ) and pretty much be double cross by these two company that force him to become a double agent . how will morgan get himself out of this . can he trust the beautiful but mysterious rita foster ( play by lucy liu ) . and more importantly and can morgan make it out alive . wow . what a nifty movie . i be completely suck in after 15 minute of watch this movie . it be very suspenseful and you can feel morgan fear and confusion a he be do his best to stay alive . the scene where they put this horrible contraption on morgan head to brainwash him be brilliantly creepy and frighten . morgan slowly go through a personality transformation that be not so readily apparent until you think about it after the film be finish . from a wimpy guy with bad hair and glass and he turn into a man actively fight for his life . the end and wow and the end be incredible . the twist be so much fun . it leave me gasp and cheer like crazy . good performance from all around and especially from jeremy natham and lucy liu and nigel bennett . i highly recommend this film . | 1pos

it actually a good thing sean connery retire a james bond and a i be sure he wouldn not be able to keep up in the nowadays spying business and where fast car have be replace with hi tech brainwash technique and gorgeous woman be consider to be less sexy than advanced computer equipment . cypher be a pretty inventive sci fi thriller that often evoke feeling of fright and claustrophobia despite be utterly implausible . you know the trend in these type of movie represent nothing be what it seem and just when you think figure out the convoluted plot and the writer make sure to insert a new twist that confuse everyone again . the event in cypher supposedly take place in the most prominent region of the computer world and where the major company do not really do a lot apart from try to steal each other thunder . company digisoft literally spend million brainwash people and provide them with a new identity and only to let them infiltrate a spy in their big competitor and the sunways corporation . sunways and on the other hand and constantly try to unmask the digisoft rat and recruit them again a double spy . in between this whole unprofitable business stand morgan sullivan while a seemingly colorless thirty something employee who be select by sebastian rook ( the über spy ) to diddle the secret policy of both company . trust me and it actually less complicated than it sound and director vincenzo natali ( the dude from tube ) carefully take his time to introduce all the important and less important character . the first half of the film be rather reminiscent to the sadly underrated john frankenheimer gem second star rock hudson a it also deal with erase identity and drastically alter your former life style . even the set piece seem to come straight out of that 60 film and with load of empty white room and eerie corridor that seem to be endless . there also plenty of great action and suspense and most notably when morgan soberly experience how the digisoft crew inspect the result of their brainwashing technique during boring convention . the middle section of the film drag a little and mainly because you already realize that it all just build up towards multiple mislead plot twist and and i hop for a slightly more grim portrayal of the not so distant future . jeremy northam be perfectly cast and the adorable lucy liu be convincingly mysterious a the foxy lady who appear to be on his side . regular director choice david hewlett have the most memorable supportive role a the uncannily eccentric suways engineer virgil c. dunn . cypher be well make and adrenalin rush sci fi entertainment and highly recommend to people who fully like to use their brain capacity from time to time . | 1pos

who can watch a movie and look at lucy liu and not be overjoy . that woman be amazingly beautiful and a talented actress . that a tough combination to find now a day . and jeremy northam . i hear his name plenty of time and but i never really notice him . my advice to hollywood be represent use him more . now about the movie represent i watch it in one of my graveyard shift . i do not recommend that to anyone . it a bit to complicate and mysterious for that . i still can not believe i do not see the end come . i be not gon na say what cause that will spoil the hole movie . although say this be spoilment enough . now i be suppose to cast my vote about this movie . i love the dark mystic story and the actor do a good job and i love the director ( natali ) work in the past . there not a big audience for this kind of thing and that also pretty risky . you know what and i be just gon na give this work a 8 cause everybody should see this . then again and 1 point deduction cause there be always space for improvement . | 1pos

this be my first comment . this be a fantastic movie . i watch it all by luck one night on tv . at first 5 minute i think it be a b movie and but afterward i understand what an amazing product this be . i suggest to some friend to see the movie and only to tell me that it be a bad b movie . how wrong . superficial critique . i think that the movie be almost a product of genius . the well know director make an excellent job here and it be a shame to tell that he be out of the game all this time . | 1pos

this movie be a gem because it move with soft and but firm resolution . i caution viewer that although it be bill a a corporate spy thriller and m liu be there and it move at a deftly purposeful yet sedate pace . it not about explosion and car chase and or fly bullet . you must be patient and instead and note the detail here . it sedate because that what the main character be . the viewer have to watch him and think a this story unfold . i will not give spoiler because that destroy the point of watch . the plot be what you have read from the other posting represent an average white collar guy and seek change and adventure and sign on for a corporate spy job . just go somewhere and secretly record and transmit inside data . take it from there . this movie start at a surreal walk with a background tang of corporate disillusionment that entwine itself with quintessential and underlying suburban paranoia . then it begin to accelerate . the act on all part be superb and yes and some of the act be caricature character . but they all fit and and they entertain . and the light piano rhyme in the background be just perfect a the soft and soft key sinister theme represent all be not right at the beginning . and at the end represent all be not what it seem . get comfortable and turn the light down to watch this one and turn up the sound represent this movie want you to listen . | 1pos

damn and i have see this movie for at least 4 time now and i still do not get bored watch it . the visuals be so good and together with the music which be totally awesome and perfect fitting this movie be mind blow to me . the cgis be quite bad imho and but the whole visuals with the black and white feeling about it and the totally sterile interior be just . just a genius perfect combination for such a movie . the whole feeling about the feeling be indescribable and the plot be so good . however although and the movie have little flaws and like e. g. sometimes i think the movie be a bit too slow and but i do not mean the scenic part by that and i totally love those . also i get distracted very often by the totally complex story and like when he be in the underground bunker like thing of digicorps and where all their data be save and and have this conversation with the guy down there . but that may also just be me representd and the end could have be display somehow more emphasized and they should have make the get back true memory part a bit longer and louder but then again without all these flaw the movie would have be so good i would have never stop watch it again and again . | 1pos

cypher be a movie well worth see because it not the run of the mill sci fi flick . the artistic approach be paint with dark scene and a kind of macro view of what go on . the close up camera view be how the director keep the plot illusive . the sci fi aspect of the movie be secondary to the plot of the movie . the technology use in the movie isn not overly impressive and however and the director make good use of the prop . the character development be intentionally shallow . the main character and jeremy northam and decides to immerse himself into the world of espionage . it up to the audience to figure out his enigmatic character and it the enigma that keep the audience interested right to the very end . | 1pos

cypher be a clever and effective and eerie film that delivers . it good premise be present well and it have it content deliver in an effective manner but also in a way the genre demand . although one could immediately label the film a science fiction and there be a little more to it . it have it obvious science fiction trait but the film resemble more of a noir or detective feel than anything else which really add to the story . the film and overall and play out like it some kind of nightmare while thus building and retain a good atmosphere . be never sure of what exactly be go on and be never certain why certain thing that be happen actually be and be not entirely sure of certain people and similar to have a dream the ambiguity reign over u all hero include and i haven not see this pull off in such a manner in a film before and bar terry gilliam brazil . go with the eeriness state earlier and cypher present itself with element of horror as well a detective and noir and science fiction give the feeling that there something in there for everyone and it integrate it element well . there be also an espionage feeling to the film that aid the detective side of the story . the mystery surrounding just about everyone be disturb to say the least and i find the fact that the character of rita foster ( liu ) and who be suppose to resemble a femme fatale and can be see a less of a threat to that of everything else happen around the hero represent people whom appear a friend actually aren not and people who say theyre help be actually use and those that appear harmless enough be actually deadly than they look . despite a lot of switch thing around and twist the plot several time and follow order that be put across in a way to make them seem that the world will end if theyre not carry out while the one thing that seem the most dangerous be any romantic link or connection with lucy liu character and she try to help out ( . ) the film maintain that feel of two side battle a war of espionage and spying and keep one up on it employee and opponent . the whole thing play out like some sort of mini cold war while something that resemble the u. s. a. and the u. s. s. r. in their war of word heyday and it really pull through give the black and bleak and often cgi litter screen that i be glue to . what be also rather interesting and be a nice add touch be the travel insert shot of certain american state make to resemble computer microchip a our hero fly to and from his stated destination significant then how the more he act on his and foster own motivation this sequence disappear because he break away from the computerise and repetitive and controlled life that he be tell to live and be branch out . cyhper be very consistent in it content and have all the element of a good film . to say it resemble the first jason bourne film and only set in the sci fi genre and isn not cut it enough slack but you can see the similarity while despite them both be release in the same year . like i mention earlier and there feel like there be something in this film for everyone and if you can look past the rather disappointing end that a few people may successfully predict and you will find yourself enjoy this film . | 1pos

cypher be a cleverly conceive story about industrial espionage set in america in the not too distant future . while thematically not complex and this film do offer many different perspective about personal loyalty and ruthlessness and and corporate conspiracy . to a certain extent this film also attempt to represent modern corporate group and company a be indifferent to the risk their contract employee take on their behalf . the film start off with a somewhat mediocre salary man and morgan sullivan ( jeremy northam ) and who apply to the digicorp group to work a an undercover operative . after an initial briefing with digicorp security chief and sullivan be then give a new identity ( jack thursby ) and send to a business conference with the task of record the speech give by various spokesman concern the marketing strategy of each of their respective company . upon successfully complete his first assignment and sullivan or thursby be send on further mission to obtain the same type of information previously gather . however and on one of his business trip he inadvertently run into a woman name rita foster and ( liu ) whom he have meet on his previous assignment and and from there thing go extremely topsy turvy . the implication of a diabolical conspiracy involve digicorp espionage program begin to emerge and sullivan be force to go deep cover at one of digicorp main competitor and thus become a double agent involve in an intense rivalry between the two company . ( ( spoiler end here ) ) what i like most about this film be the efficient use of lighting and shadow in a lot of the scene . vivid lighting be use in mainly domestic or household setting and while a lot of shadow and dark coloring be use for setting involve deception and cover up . i be also very impressed with jeremy northam . not too often have i see him in the lead role and and the fact that he play a disenchanted married man straight out of wisconsin be brilliant . personally and i think he one of the many under used actor in the industry who hasn not be give more challenging role . lucy liu be also incredible in her part and give the movie it real cloak and dagger tone . additionally and the rest of the support cast do a superb job and however and my only complaint be that some character could have be explore more to make the plot and closure a little more complicated . for example and i would have love to see what would have happen if jack thursby have develop a more intimate relationship with his second wife . overall and this be a cleverly develop cloak and dagger story that keep you guess to the very end about personal and professional loyalty and whether anyone in the entire film can be trust . with a smart and stylish soundtrack and great camera work and this film provide a scary look at how corporation might operate in the near future . i be surprised that i have never watch this hidden gem before . this be a brilliant and not too overly complicate spy thriller and and therefore i be give it a positive . | 1pos
