I'm about as far from a trekky as they come, but I still love this film. It's full of the kind of depth, mystery and intrigue that's so lacking in a lot of other sci-fi films I've seen. Possibly my favourite sci-fi of all time.

I'd seen this a couple of times before, and I can see why I didn't really enjoy it so much. It certainly takes a lot longer to get going, and it's a much more complex story, but I loved it on the last viewing, so it just goes to show that all it takes is a little patience to enjoy this one. Not sure if it's better than the first film of the franchise, but it's definitely somewhere near that level.

Much, much better than I expected it to be. Really well written, great effects, and it literally had me wondering how it was all gonna end 'til the last few minutes. Good to see Adrian Brody taking on such an unusual role for him and making quite a good meal of it too.

Started really well, but I was practically dying of boredom after the first half hour or so. They killed off Steve Coogan's character too soon dammit!

I ended up watching this the other day and I love it more and more with each viewing.

I am a big John Carpenter fan but this and Starman were real low points for me :(

As for me recently:

I vaguely remembered this being OK when I saw it years ago but it is actually pretty crap. Prisoners are controlled by explosive collars linked to another (unknown to them) prisoner which is a half decent concept but it fails miserably on closer inspection :(

I guess nostalgia is not always a good thing. Although Mimi Rogers tight trousers did distract me now and again.

^I remember watching Wedlock years ago .. Or that is, I remember that we rented it and put it on, but I don't remember much of the movie. They were trying to escape from a prison and that's about it. I guess it must be completely forgettable.

For those who like entertaining crap and Rutger Hauer, I can recommend Split Second. It's a film set in a dark future (well, 2008 actually) where Rutger Hauer plays the ultimate Bad Cop who runs on a constant supply of coffee, sugar and a bad temper. In addition to harassing his partner and dropping silly one-liners, he's also trying to hunt down a monster/serial killer.

It's completely ridiculous and over the top, but Hauer fits the role perfectly and I had a lot of fun watching it .. twice :D

One I did see recently that was to my liking was this. Maybe you'd find it interesting if you havent aready seen it. Matt Damon playing the genuis role again. Not as good as Good Will Hunting but watchable and worth rewatching imo.

I think I do have this somewhere! Hauer has carved out a niche in B movies with some decent roles along the way.

Still waiting for this to come out. Apologies I have posted this before. NSFW.

An odd link to another film. Yes I have this film. John Malkovich is awesome. One of directors John Dahl's better efforts post film noir (Kill Me Again/Red Rock West/The Last Seduction).
