Outlaw

I missed this one at the Cinema and only just managed to get hold of a copy this week on DVD to watch.

I remember seeing the trailers and getting the impression that it would be a big time action/fight scene movie, but it’s a lot slower than I was expecting.

It is good, but not quite what I thought it would be, although the ending was better than I expected.

Sean Bean is damn good as the slighlty mad and angry ex-soldier, and Danny Dyer shows once more why he’s such a cool up and coming actor.

There are a few bits where it seems like the movie is unsure of where it’s going and I was left wondering whether it was going to get better or worse, it did neither, it just plodded along to the twist at the end.

It’s not a movie I’ll be adding to my collection, as I’m not bothered about watching it again, but it was worth watching once.

Shooter

This is another movie that I missed at the Cinema and just caught up with on DVD, it’s also one that wasn’t quite what I expected it to be.

I think Mark Wahlberg’s a great actor, but after a good start the plot didn’t quite develop as much as I thought it would, and it turned in to a fairly reasonable action pic.

Another one that I won’t be in a rush to watch a second time.
