Band of misfits hire a boat to take them to raid a super-duper new ocean liner. Things go very wrong when a huge tentacled monster turns up. | Superb. Well acted (for this type
of movie), if you like slimy tentacles (and who doesn't) this film is great. Fantastic ending, I just hope there's a sequel. |

Hotshot lawyer Kevin Lomax (Keanu
Reeves) gets tempted to the big city by top law firm headed by the rather dubious John
Milton (Al Pacino). Not is all as perfect as it seems. Lomax's wife (Charlize Theron) starts to lose the plot, and his mother senses something is wrong. The film climax's when Lomax's finds out the grim truth which leads to a fiery finale. |
Top performances from Reeves,
Theron and especially Pacino help to move along a good although slightly unpolished story. There are a few areas that seem to be of little relevance to the main story, or that are not explained. (The invisible joggers!), OK, so an audience should be made to think for themsleves sometimes but this is pushing it. |
