"The film that marked the successful rebirth of the 007 franchise, which had laid dormant for over half a decade, GoldenEye remains Pierce Brosnan’s finest moment as Britain’s most famous secret agent.The plot? This one involves the Russian mafia, a rogue agent and a powerful satellite, although realistically it’s the standard 007 formula at work. Thus, there’s gadgets, girls and plenty of action, with the plot trying to squeeze in where ..."
"David Arquette's offbeat charm will likely never make him a leading man. That's part of the fun of RPM, a tongue-in-cheek Euro-American car-jacking adventure about an American techno wizard whose sideline is stealing vintage autos for fun and... well, mostly just for fun. When New York gets too hot for him he flies off to Europe, heists his way through the coolest vintage autos in the south of France, and then hires himself out to a cor ..."
"Eddy Murphy brilliert an der Seite von Owen Wilson in der Agentenparodie I Spy und gerät in Budapest zwischen die Fronten eines dubiosen Waffengeschäfts. Der zweitklassige, von Minderwertigkeitskomplexen geplagte CIA-Agent Alexander Scott (Owen Wilson) heuert den arroganten Profi-Boxer Kelly Robinson (Eddy Murphy) an. Ihr Auftrag: den fiesen Waffenhändler Gundars (Malcolm McDowell) aufspüren, ihm sein Lieblingsspielzeug, ein unsichtba ..."
"Pierce Brosnan spielt in diesem 17. Bond-Film zum ersten Mal die Titelfigur. Und er braucht etwas Zeit, um in die Rolle des 007 hineinzuwachsen. Dieser Film, in dem freischaffende Terroristen aus der ehemaligen Sowjetunion eine Super-High-Tech-Waffe in ihre Finger bekommen, gibt ihm dazu jedoch genug Gelegenheit. So sind die interessantesten Momente für Brosnan jene, in denen er sich von einer dunklen Seite präsentieren darf. Seiten, d ..."
"The 18th James Bond adventure was a runaway box-office success when released in 1995, thanks to the arrival of Pierce Brosnan as the fifth actor (following the departure of Timothy Dalton) to play the suave, danger-loving Agent 007. This James Bond is a bit more vulnerable and psychologically complex--and just a shade more politically correct--but he's still a formally attired playboy at heart, with a lovely Russian beauty (Izabella Sco ..."
"Circus is an appropriate title for this busy British three-ring caper film. John Hannah is the amiable ringmaster, a gambling junkie and "the smartest man I know" according to all his acquaintances. Which doesn't quite explain why everyone targets him as a patsy in their elaborate scams and schemes. There are plots aplenty here: frumpy accountant Peter Stormare hires Hannah to murder his wife and then videotapes the deed for collateral ..."
"In the twisted maze of a city teeming with corruption, a seasoned "professional" is going to teach a traitorous rookie a simple lesson: There's nothing more lethal than a man with nothing left to lose. Academy AwardÂ(r) nominee* Harvey Keitel and co-stars Stephen Dorff and OscarÂ(r)winner** Timothy Hutton turn up the heat in this "four-star, edge-of-your-seat crime and revenge story" (Toronto Sun) that strips the mask off L.A.'s shroude ..."

"Haunted Hill gehört zu jener neuen Art von Filmen, bei denen Action und Thrill Schlag auf Schlag folgen -- wie etwa auch Deep Blue Sea -- und er ist zudem ein besonders wirkungsvolles Beispiel dieses Genres. Die Handlung ist reine Konstruktion: Als Anlass für eine sensationelle Party bietet ein reicher Freizeitpark-Entwickler (Geoffrey Rush, Shine, Elizabeth) fünf Personen eine Million Dollar Preisgeld, wenn sie die Nacht in jener ehema ..."

"Following in the reptilian slime trail of Anaconda, this derivative monster movie from early 1998 plays like a cross between Titanic and Tremors, with parts of Aliens tossed in for good measure. Director Stephen Sommers couldn't recognize an original idea if it swallowed him whole--which, by the way, is exactly what happens to a lot of passengers on a luxury ship that is attacked by a giant serpent-like sea creature with a voracious app ..."
"Der Schleimspur von Anaconda folgend, wirkt dieser imitierte Monsterfilm von Anfang 1998 wie eine Kreuzung zwischen Titanic und Im Land der Raketenwürmer, mit einer Spur Alien obendrein. Regisseur Stephen Sommers, der mit seinem nächsten Film Die Mumie zu Bestform auflief, hat mit Deep Rising - Octalus vielleicht nicht das Genre neu erfunden, liefert aber ein passables Stück Horror ab, das für 100 Minuten gelungene Unterhaltung allemal ..."
