CENTURION, AN ENJOYABLE MANS' FILM, 2010-09-02
Ignore all those that see themselves as budding critics, if you like a good yarn with plenty of excellently choreographed battle scenes, and 'Hammer' style effects, then this is for you! Minimal 'lovey dovey' as well. I thoroughlly enjoyed it!

Daniel Craig hasn't lost a step since Casino Royale--this James Bond remains dangerous, a man who could earn that license to kill in brutal hand-to-hand combat… but still look sharp in a tailored suit. And Quantum of Solance itself carries on from the previous film like no other 007 movie, with Bond nursing his anger from the Casino Royale storyline and vowing blood revenge on those responsible. For the new plot, we have villain Mathieu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), intent on controlling the water rights in impoverished Third World nations and happy to overthrow a dictator or two to get his way. Olga Kurylenko is very much in the "Bond girl" tradition, but in the Ursula Andress way, not the Denise Richards way. And Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright, and Giancarlo Giannini are welcome holdovers. If director Marc Forster and the longtime Bond production team seem a little too eager to embrace the continuity-shredding style of the Bourne pictures (especially in a nearly incomprehensible opening car chase), they nevertheless quiet down and get into a dark, concentrated groove soon enough. And the theme song, "Another Way to Die," penned by Jack White and ...

The second in the series of the ever so cool Daniel Craig as 007. Not as good as Casino Royale but still a real good romp and all the typical ingredients in the new era.

It’s hard not to feel like one has entered a certain dimension of video-game logic while watching Hitman, a lightly enjoyable action-suspense movie indeed based on a popular and bloody game about a mysterious hired gun with a bar-code tattoo on his bald head and a number (47) in lieu of a name. Living like a chaste monk while slipping past borders to kill his targets, 47 (Timothy Olyphant of Deadwood) moves like a determined shark and speaks softly to his contact at the enigmatic "the Organization," which raises cast-off children to become well-paid assassins. Fruitlessly pursued by an Interpol cop (Dougray Scott) who can never get sovereign governments to cooperate, 47 has no trouble slipping in and out of countries to ply his trade. Until, that is, he’s set up to take a fall in Russia by shooting a national leader who is promptly replaced by a lookalike double. Suddenly on the run, 47 has to retrace his steps and formulate a lethal plan for extricating himself from a trap. Caught in the chaos is the lovely Nika (Olga Kurylenko), forced into sex slavery by 47’s new enemies and the one person who seems uniquely qualified to break through 47’s many personal bar...
Ready Aim Fire !, 2010-02-19
Good Action Movie and well above the normal standard of film you tend to get with game/film tie in's. No oscar winning performances although Timothy Olyphant plays the part of the emotionless agent 47 very well. The quality of the blu ray video and audio is very good and the plotline has a feel that it was written and thought through rather than just thrown togther as can be the case with so many game/film tie in's

pleasantly suprising Enjoyable Action Romp

ACTION,nothing but, 2010-07-29
This is an action movie and does not try to be anything else.If you like this kind of film(terminator;predator;ramboetc) you will love this one,if you do not ,then you won't.
There are spectacular stunts(watch how he wires up his hotel room door to explode if someone tries to enter,and how he escapes the ensuing explosion).The fight scenes are terrific.There is heavy weaponry a-plenty,and lots of use thereof.
There is a clever cop chasing down the trail of mayhem left behind by the Hitman.This cop knows more about Hitman and how he thinks than anyone else.Lots of Russian corrupt politicians/spooks etc who use the Hitman for their own ends,only to make a key mistake in trying to set him up.A russian prostitute seems to be the only person hitman refrains from killing,and you have to work out why.There is good acting by all and it certainly looks like they all had a good time making this film.Olyphant with his shaved head,and slit eyes is perfect for the Hitman role.Some have mentioned the tattoo on the back of his shaved head being visible.Frankly,I walk by lots of guys with shaved heads and have never turned my head,or made any effrt to look and see if they had a tattoo at the base of the their heads.So,I don't agree that the tattoo is hugely noticeable or that it draws attention.
Watch the film and have fun!

Beautifully acted film, with a good cast, on the universal themes, 2010-05-31
This is a beautifully acted film, with a strong and intelligent cast, on the universal themes of love and death, and deals with how possessive love, a love which seeks to preserve the object of love forever, leads to the destruction of the beloved thing. The director - Diane Bertrand - brings out the symbolism very well, and the film very powerfully focuses on the idea that all the objects which are brought in for preservation lose their essential living element. For example, when a musical score is brought in, it is played one last time, then put in a jar, which in effect means it ceases to be living, breathing music, and becomes instead a lifeless object.
Many of the characters seem to be compelled by a force outside their control to do things they don't really understand. Olga Kurylenko - as Iris - in particular brings out this aspect of the story very well (and she speaks a lovely, breathy French). And there's an aching loneliness to her performance which is very, very touching. The laboratory director - nicely understated by Marc Barbé - is the one character who seems to know what he's doing, but he too, like the others, is under a strange compulsion - even when he and Iris make love, she becomes his possession.
None of the main characters are free.
There is a good climax - symbolically handled

Brilliant Thriller with a Twist, 2010-08-09
This movie will have you holding your breath. It's a thriller with a twist, creepy and cringing in places (not horror !!) Very good indeed. Actors are brilliant in it too, well casted, especially the old shool "friend"....Disturbing actually how someone who really wants revenge against you, could destroy your life so easily and quickly. Makes you think.
