I am a huge fan of the 007 series. My favorite is Sean Connery, but right below him is the great Timothy Dalton. When he came to the series he added an element that had been missing in this series for about 8 films, and that is emotion. Roger Moore, had brought down the series by turning James Bond into an annoying cartooon character/old man off his medication. Dalton brought heart to the film and brought him closer then ever before to the character of the books.

The story is surprisinly good for a Bond film, having many twists and such. It also features a fantastic cast, the Big bad guy has great charm for a villian, the action is fun, and the girl is good looking. Check out this and the other Dalton film, License to kill.

SPEED is a fun movie with a lot of action, explosions, action, humor, car crashed, action, suspense and did I mention action? Screen directorial debut of renowned cinematographer Jan De Bont. (Twister, The Haunting, Tomb Raider 2) He did a fantastic job with camera, action capturing and keeping the camera always moving.
The story is very interesting and some incredibly believable performances. Keanu Reeves ( Chain Reaction, The Matrix 1 & 2) and Jeff Daniels (My Favorite Martian, Terms Of Endearment, 101 Dalmations ) play two SWAT officers assigned to rescue several people trapped in a high-rise elevator by a disgruntled ex-police office brilliantly played by Dennis Hopper (Easy Rider, Rumblefish, Hoosiers ). His plan fails and as a result Dennis gets really made and seeks revenge. Enter innocent Sandra Bullock as a regular gal thrown into a situation that makes her character stronger and extremely likeable. Enter the bus, a regular MTA bus that becomes the `real' star of the movie.
Keanu and Sandra have some great chemistry going and the action that this bus goes through is non-stop. Everything that is thrown at them is figured out rationally and then something totally believable is thrown at them again. AlanRuck (Star Trek: Generations, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Young Guns II ) gives a great performance as an out-of-towner who happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
The DVD extras are great. Several interview sequences with the cast and the director as well as several technical featurettes that explain the 12 busses needed to make this film. There is a music video, trailers, promos, scripts and artwork and storyboards. This film is very technically clear and educational for the novice who really doesn't know much about stunts and filmmaking.
This is a great DVD collection and series and with the commentary Jan De Bont is very enlightening as well. As far as action films this is a good film to have in your collection. `Speed' this one home. (9-9-02)

The Transporter began a series of over-the-top action movies starring Jason Statham.  If you are like me, this has been a positive development.  While I feel that Statham is a fine actor who could do more serious work (and did in The Bank Job), he is able to elevate these implausible action movies to a level they may not deserve.  The Transporter is a straightforward action movie and features some creative fights.

The Blu-Ray is a mixed bag.  The transfer isn't bad and it sounded great on my system, but there are little extras.  There is a commentary featuring Statham - I haven't listened to that yet, but will probably give it a shot.  Other than that, the only special features are trailers.

Given that they are coming out with a third Transporter, it may be worth holding off on these films as I would guess a double-dip is on the way.

I went and saw this in theaters and then bought the DVD and i have to say it is a awesome movie full of action and suspenseful moments. Then lets not forget Paula Patton in a dress that will make the eyes on any guy widen while he utters the word WOW! I still nearly drool at that point in the movie. MI Ghost Protocol is by a long shot the best of the series so far. The mix of suspense, thrill, action and stunts will leave even your most demanding action junkie pleased. This is not a film that will leave much of a long standing mental impression on you, which means you won't walk out of it with a changed view on life. Then again not many action movies will change your view on life. It won't make you do much thinking like other fairly recent films like Inception but then if you use Inception as your baseline for what you like then you will find yourself displeased with movies quite often. Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol is still a awesome movie that has a good plot for a action movie, good action/stunts, and the action was really good. The plot is simple like many action movies but the on-screen things like action and dialog make up for it. Then the car  with a Heads Up Display is in one word is awesome...

4/5 Stars Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol is a great movie and i recommend it to anyone who likes action movies.

arrived on time . I am a BIG  Jason Statham fan .  I love all of his movies.  This was not his usual role, but I like it very much, don't understand the other poor reviews.  You need to see this movie & judge for yourself.

I was recently stuck on a 14 hour flight and the selection of movies was not that great.

Usually, I avoid action movies like the plague, but I decided to give this one a try.

This movie is fantastic from start to finish, and seems to rise above its subject matter and origins.

The cast are great, and they all look like they are having tremendous fun. Plus, not one of the parts has been underwritten - all of them have something good to say or something fun to do.

My favourite was the Rock. He was wonderfully over the top in this movie, and he looks like he eats and drinks testosterone at every meal.

This movie is great fun and will not leave you disappointed.

I have to say I never really got with the hype of these films, and although the first film was okay for what it was, I didn't think the sequels before this one were great at all, especially the Tokyo Drift one which was just stupid.  But others of course love these films so I of course ended up watching the fifth one and I was impressed!  This isn't just a driving cars in a totally unrealistic fashion with no regard for anyone on the streets (I mean that's still in here) but it also became a nice crime caper movie too. It does pick up from the storyline of the fourth movie as continuation on from that films closing sequence, but you could probably watch this without having seen that first. The Rock addition to the cast as a guy who always gets his fugitive and is on the heels of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker's characters was an interesting addition.  The movie is already overthetop so the realism factor being stretched further didn't bother me, but I thought it was interesting casting as it highlighted just how short Vin Diesel is, who for the former movies had been the big tough guy character.

Overall Fast Five was a fun flick and good crime caper.  I liked how unlike the other ones they didn't have that stupid push a button on the steering wheel and go into hyperspace speed to win a race thing that really didn't prove they were better drivers in the initial films.  They still do some overthetop stuff such as the final dragging something scene which would have easily got caught and ripped out the back of their cars if the cable didn't snap first, but overall the movie was a lot of fun and unlike the other sequels I didn't get bored watching it.

First off - I am not one to go gaga over audio and video - But I have to say - being this movie is as old as it is, it really REALLY stands out what a good job they did with the transfer - if you watch this blu ray - you will think this movie could have been made a year ago with how good it looks - there is nothing to indicate it is an older movie - it looks and sounds like a movie made in 2015.

That said - out of the 70s road chase/ car crash movies, this may be the best.  Just a REALLY cool movie.  Kris Kristofferson is great in it and really cool, Ali McGraw is HOT, and the supporting cast is great - Borgnine had fun with this role, you can tell.

And as much story as there can be in a movie like this, it is pretty darn good - the movie goes fast, because it is entertaining.  This is definitely a good movie to have in your collection.  A classic 70s genre movie.  I can't wait to watch it again. And I LOVE that song!

Only Jason Statham can get himself into as much trouble as the charter his portrays.  The Russians kill his wife and will kill anyone he talks to, the Chinese want him dead, and then you come to find out he is an ex-cop that hasn't a friend on the force.  Add him protecting a 12 year old Chinese girl everyone wants alive and then kill her and mayhem it the sure bet.  Great action, hardcore bad guys, and trouble at every turn with Statham in the middle and there is never a dull moment!

I saw this in the theater as a youth and loved it.
Watched it recently and w/ a grain of salt it holds up well. Yes, the 1970's styles is dated and the fight scenes are foolish; reminiscent of the old Bob Hope karate chops on the neck. Maybe we can call it under stated? There is romance, surprisingly a bi-racial involvement that is never seen today.
The inner city Black crime boss world is presented as credible, alien and frightening. This movie holds up to modern day scrutiny and if you squint your eyes you could imagine that was Jason Statham not Roger Moore. The switches between New York and Haiti work well w/ Voodoo magic as a great addition. Toss in New Orleans and a great boat chase and what more do we need? Whoever is making all those Jason Statham action films has no doubt watched this movie.
In today's politically correct movie this film could not be made, however the story holds true. There are Black criminals in American big cities and there are corrupt third world dictators (is that a redundancy?)
I loved the scope of the movie and I loved the ending. I recommend this to all teenage boys; it'll hook them on action movies and sense of duty!

This movie was great start to finish.  The actions was just wonderful especially knowing that he did most of all his own stunts.  WOW!!  I must see.

Really enjoyed these movies and have been a fan of Flynn for most of my life. Captain Blood was the best of the lot but the rest weren't far behind. They look great for movies of their age with good detail and contrast. The stories really held my attention and had a good amount of action. A great balance of action and drama that isn't overdone in any way. I highly recommend this collection to all Flynn fans!
