The bank job (2008)

Posted by Breaker On July - 30 - 2009

elgrangolpe0Cast: Jason Statham, Saffron Burrows, Stephen Campbell Moore, Daniel Mays, James Faulkner

Director: Roger Donaldson

The movie is based on the 1971 Baker street robbery. The characters are all stylish and elegant and that is what I like about this film. Some of the facts are pretty shocking and that is a big plus, for me at least…

Snatch. (2000)

Posted by Breaker On July - 27 - 2009

snatchCast: Brad Pitt, Jason Statham, Dennis Farina, Benicio Del Toro, Vinnie Jones

Director: Guy Ritchie

I have seen it a lot of times. This is one of my favorites, if not, quite my number one movie. It is a combination of action and a sarcastic humor typical to writer and director, Guy Ritchie.

Crank 2: High Voltage (2009)

Posted by Breaker On June - 15 - 2009

crank_two_ver2 Cast: Jason Statham, Amy Smart, Reno Wilson

Director: Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor

I was really thrilled about this movie as the trailer seemed to be great, although  I haven’t seen the first Crank. Well… I thought, this was supposed to be a new kind of action movie, a new spin for the action genre, and they did manage to do something different but it wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

lock_stock_and_two_smoking_barrels_ver21     Cast: Jason Statham, Nick Moran, Dexter Fletcher, Jason Flemyng, Vinnie Jones

     Director: Guy Ritchie

 

     I’ll talk to those who understand a little bit about the English and their way of life, because you have to be open minded in this direction in order to enjoy this funny little tale. If you are a Guy Ritchie fan then this is a must just like Snatch.
In Guy’s unmistakable way the protagonists are a group of 4 young lads who are presented in a very charismatic way in the first few minutes of the movie. They are freelancers mostly except for Soap who is a chef. Their plan is to Read the rest of this entry »

Revolver (2005)

revolver1     Cast: Jason Statham, Ray Liotta, Vincent Pastore, André Benjamin, Terence Maynard

     Director: Guy Ritchie

 

     …….maybe you heard my sigh. It’s tough to gather your thoughts about this movie. Lucky I don’t have to tell you the story, I just have to get you to watch it.
If “Fight Club” was a punch in the stomach then this is a kick in the nuts. In my view there is a common point between Revolver and Fight Club, as the “Tyler Durden” effect is Read the rest of this entry »
