The Losers

Well first and for most id like to say that the trailer for this film does not do it justice. The film is a high octane mix of guns explosions and wise cracks which is right up my street. the trailer only scratch the service of what its about.

Its a cross between the A team and The Expendables (films i will review in the future). The Plot is pretty predicable but enjoyable, The cast is headed by Jeffrey Dean Morgan who plays a great part but Chris Evans and Jason Patric steal the show in my opinion.

over all the film is a great no brainier to watch for a action fan but does have some pretty funny parts to.

Drive Angry

The plot to Drive Angry could not be simpler if it tried, dead man comes back from hell to save what is left of his family.

Nicolas cage delivers a standard performance and the anti hero and Amber Heard kicks butt as the hard hitting Piper but for me William Fitchner as the accountant is star of this film.

If your are fan of Muscle cars then you will love this film the cars look and sound amazing, Pipers Dodge is an amazing machine.

The action in the film is amazing and at some points comical and gory but overall I was hooked by this film

The Green Hornet

The Green Hornet is a film that is based on a radio show from the 1930's and an comic from the 1940's and most famously the t.v program from the 1960's the original TV show starred Van Williams and Bruce lee.

The 2011 film starring Seth Rogen and Jay Chou was for me a bit of a disappointment the story was extremely Predictable and it struggled to keep me engaged, The action in the film was very well put together and Jay Chou shows off some very impressive skills but he did have alot to live up to taking on a roll made famous by Bruce Lee.

This film did pay respect to the TV it was based upon my personal favourite was the sketch's of Bruce Lee in the early part of the film but the famous 1 inch punch was over done.

over all the film did not live up to hype that surrounded it in my opinion and the addition of Cameron Diaz added nothing to the film

Rating 4.5 out of 10
