Film Reviews.

★★✰✰✰ A loner living deep in the woods is dragged into an attempt by two corrupt cops to kill a murder witness in The Victim.

★★★★★ Alejandro Jodorowsky's Santa Sangre is a beautifully shocking, repulsively irresistable work of art.

★★★★★ The best pilots are chosen to learn advanced ‘dog fighting’ techniques at an elite flying school and compete to be the best of the best.

★★★★✰ Liam Neeson, aka the man with the particular set of skills, returns for Taken 2, another dose of the audience-pleasing Taken formula.
