Letterboxd — Your life in film

A giallo disguised as a conspiracy thriller, probably DePalma's best film, and a stoen cold masterpiece.

Rewatch, liked it a bit more the second time. Look, it's a mess narratively, it doesn't make any sense, some of the performances are poor, but it looks amazing. Not a good film, a terrible alien film, but a triumph of production design.

Holy cow, I'm not sure I've ever seen a film that combines gritty social realism and visceral bloody action like The Yellow Sea. Amazing.

'Shut up crime' so much better than the ludicrously overrated Kick Ass

Fast paced, spectacular, but also kinda dumb. The first half is terrific, but then the plot twists kick in in a way that will have anyone with more than a passing knowledge of Trek knowing exactly where things are going. Fun, but deeply flawed.

Steven Shiel's follow up to his excellent debut Mum & Dad has been a long time coming, Dead Mine is a far more generic piece of work. The clearly talented director does his best with a standard men in a bunker movie, and this is better characterised and shot than most. However it is ultimately hampered by what looks like a lack of budget and a very unsatisfying ending.

A thriller with four flat tyres.

I quite enjoyed The Collector, a good nuts and bolts horror flick. Was hoping for more of the same from this sequel, but sadly it's an unscary, sadistic, overblown torture porn that feels very dated.

Really angry and cynical crime film. IMO immensely superior to Place Beyond The Pines. A brilliant cast get to deliver some of the most uncomfortably mysogynist dialogue I've ever heard.

Blu ray version slightly marred by the addition of brutally dated looking CGI aliens

A super tight 86 minutes of exploitation mayhem.
