Bruce Willis and Kellan Lutz star in this B-rate action movie about a CIA operative trying to rescue his kidnapped father. But the plot is ridiculous, the bad guys are uninteresting, and the script is so dull.,

Adapted from Lene Kaaberbøl's 2006 fantasy novel of the same name (which, dare I say, is a household name on most 90's children's bookcases) The Shamer's Daughter tells the story of Dina (Rebecca Emilie Sattrup) who has inherited her mother's ability to see people's deepest, darkest, most shameful secrets merely by looking them in the eyes.
Witchcraft, dragons and magic all over the shop. Great story with all the basics covered.

The scriptwriter Oriol Paulo turned director has created a knotty thriller that piles on the twists and turns at the expense of characters and logic before descending into a frankly farcical climax that tries to pull the story together but simply leaves you wondering why you bothered watching the film in the first place. Also so being afan of Julia's Eyes (2010)

Victoria is a fascinating concept - over two hours of a single take produces a heavy tension around what this young Spanish woman experiences that early morning in Berlin.
Director Sebastian Schipper’s flawless masterpiece is a potent reminder of why I love cinema. It expertly evokes the entire gamut of human emotion, and its actors have some of the best chemistry that I have ever seen in a film.

The year is 1922. The Tracker has the job of pursuing The Fugitive, an aborigine who is suspected of murdering a white woman, as he leads three mounted policemen: The Fanatic, The Follower and also The Veteran across the outback.
The Tracker is one of those rare films that deserves to be called haunting. It tells the sort of story we might find in an action Western, but transforms it into a fable or parable.

The direction is tame and the plot well-trodden in this old-fashioned adventure yarn that's flung out with an endearing boy-scout optimism against the wide-open spaces of early 20th-century New Zealand. Here comes Ray Winstone as Arjan, an embittered Boer who is recruited by the hated Brits to hunt down a Maori whaler (Temuera Morrison) accused of murder. At the start, of course, Arjan regards this fugitive as nothing more than a faceless savage, an animal to be caught and sold. But wait: as the footprints lead him deeper and deeper into the wilderness, the stormclouds lift and the narrative signposts point the way to Respect, to Understanding, and finally to Kinship.
