After being released from jail, a man is followed by a Count’s henchman and a police inspector, all of whom expect him to tell them where he has hidden the jewels he has stolen.
A sometimes hilarious french farce that I had never heard of before. It’s got a strange tone to it and was actually quite funny.

Fresh from mounting a devastating bomb attack in London, an international terrorist (Rutger Hauer) arrives in New York and remains intent upon wreaking further havoc.

This is a seemingly overlooked Stallone movie and one I had fond memories of it. But on this rewatch I can see why it’s not…

Not a single part of this movie has any connection…

After seeing countless reviews on here giving this film a good bashing, I went in expecting a film as bad as Green Lantern. This film isn’t anything like that, in fact it’s a lot of fun. I got a very distinct Richard Donner vibe from this it, it reminded me a lot of the original Superman film. Nothing too serious and a little goofy. Something that coming after this year has been, is greatly appreciated by me. Of course…
