Cops and Robbers (2017)
Definitely not Michael Jai Whites worst film but could have been a bit more intense and had some fight scenes in it
'Cops and Robbers' was a very good film starring Michael Jai White, Quinton Rampage Jackson and Tom Berenger. There was quite a bit of action and it was quite a dramatic film, but it was different to Michael Jai White's normal films. Obviously it was a 'Cops and Robbers' film as the name says and it was a very good one, but it really should have been a bit more intense and had some fight scenes in it. Besides the film being dramatic and having a bit of action in it as well as being a bit tense, it was a film that also featured some excellent acting by Michael Jai White, Quinton Rampage Jackson and Tom Berenger.
Casualties of War (1989)

Escape Plan: The Extractors (2019)
Definitely much better and with more action than Escape Plan 2
Escape Plan 3 is a very good film. The film which is about security expert Ray Breslin(played by Sylvester Stallone) is hired to rescue the kidnapped daughter Daya Zhang of a Hong Kong tech mogul from a formidable Latvian prison. Breslin's girlfriend Abigail is also captured and held hostage by an extremely malicious man called Lester Clark Jr who is killing innocent people he holds hostage and who has put Daya Zhang's life and Abigail's life in danger. The only choice Breslin has to do is to get in contact with Trent DeRosa(played by Dave Bautista) and set up a team with him, Shen Lo and Bao Young but whilst Breslin is on the move in the big Latvian Prison to rescue Abigail, Lester manages to take something away from one of the prisoners which is a phone which Breslin is connected to and Lester firmly holding Abigail shows Breslin what he's going to do and slashes a very big knife across Abigail's throat which ends up killing her. This film has a lot of excellent action, intensity and suspense as well as some awesome fight scenes with some people such as Shen Lo doing some excellent Chinese Kung Fu fighting moves to kill the enemies. Trent does a great fight scene as well and so does Breslin. The only thing that I would like to see a bit more of in this film is Trent doing a few more scenes showing him fight some lethal enemies using his excellent fighting skills. This film has some excellent acting by Sylvester Stallone, Dave Bautista, 50 Cent, Max Zhang, Harry Shum Jr, Devon Sawa, Jaime King, Lydia Hull, Malese Jow and Russell Wong.

There was some very good action, shootouts and explosions in this film, there wasn't much fight scenes but there was some intensity. The fight scene between Scott McCoy and Abdul was a very powerful but was the only fight scene in the film. Unfortunately this film needed more fight scenes and needed to be a bit more intense, but it definitely is a very good film.

Needed a lot more and could have been a lot better but only in between ok and good

One of the patients Jason Hill(played by Sean Patrick Flanery) who suffers from PTSD wants to help because his wife Jennifer Hill(played by Gina Holden) is a hostage and is in great danger. This film was quite intense and a bit scary at times because of the dangerous and violent terrorists and their actions.
THINGS I LIKED: I liked Sean Patrick Flanery and his acting as Jason Hill. I also liked how brave he was to stand up to and fight against dangerous armed terrorists and kill them. I also liked that there was a bit of intensity in this film. I also was amazed and really liked the fight when Sean Patrick Flanery fought against Mark Dacascos who was armed in an excellent fight.
THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: Rob Van Dam. It was completely unnecessary and inappropriate to have him in this film. He just sat in that Van doing nothing. He could have been used for some better scenes. Michael Jai White is an extremely powerful man, but in this film instead of taking too long to get the suspects, he as Chief Malone could have come in and used his Martial Skills to take down these terrorists. There wasn't any of that and there should have been some fight scenes with him in it fighting against some of the dangerous terrorists.
Basically this film needed a lot more and could have been a lot better. So yes this film needed big improvements. It was not intense enough, it wasn't action packed and to be honest it's only an in between ok and good film for me.
Space Jam (1996)
Excellent basketball film with humour, fun and an awesome soundtrack
'Space Jam' is an excellent. It is a completely different film to different Basketball films such as 'White Men Can't Jump' and Above The Rim' and might seem a bit unusual but it is a film which is fun to watch. 'Space Jam' is a film about Michael Jordan who plays himself and has retired from Basketball and is now playing Baseball. Some small weird animated characters led by an evil cigar smoking boss wants to get hold of some people. So they hear about The Looney Tunes Characters Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester The Cat, Tweetie Pie and some other characters. They do manage to get hold of these characters led by Bugs Bunny and want him. Meanwhile some other famous Basketball Players who play themselves such as Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Bird etc are still playing and are involved in matches, but when they are still playing matches in the NBA, the small animated characters get inside both Charles Barkleys body and Patrick Ewings body making them lose their strength, skill and ability and steal it which also turns the small animated characters into huge powerful giants and also cause Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Bird and others to stop playing because they've lost it all. Bugs Bunny confronts Michael Jordan and tells him about playing Basketball, he says he's retired but the Looney tunes characters really want him to play. They also have created a basketball court where none of the human basketball fans can see them play. Michael Needs some of the Looney Tunes characters to get his Basketball Clothes and Boots from his house. When that is done they have to face these huge aggressive animated characters in a match but he tells his Looney Tunes team to stick together and work hard and not give up. Bill Murray also comes to a match to help. Before the final match Michael has to make a deal with these huge animated characters that if he wins he stays with his Looney Tunes team or if he losses they can have him. So a tough match goes ahead and finally Michael wins doing a massive slam dunk, jumping above the huge animated characters and managing to put the ball into the net. He succeeds and after the match the evil cigar smoking boss of the huge animated character comes and they get rid of him. The next thing they are able to pull their bodies making themselves go down to the very small size they were. They said they didn't want to be so huge. Jordan puts the Ball into his bag and leaves. In a hall, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Bird etc are all seated. Michael walks in, they all say hi and then Michael takes the ball out of his bag and tells them to hold it by putting their hand on it, they are afraid but slowly they do it after being told again to hold it and they get their skills, abilities and stamina back. This film has an awesome soundtrack and was definitely a fun, humorous and enjoyable film to watch.
Midnight Run (1988)
An excellent combination of intense action and comedy, this is absolutely brilliant
'Midnight Run' is a cop comedy about a tough ex cop turned bounty hunter called Jack Walsh(played by Robert De Niro) who is trying to avoid the Chicago Police in order to catch a sensitive accountant called Jonathan 'The Duke' Mardukas(played by Charles Grodin). Jack wants to do things his way in dealing with The Duke. He also changes his identity and falsely goes under the name of the FBI Captain Alonso Mosely(played by Yaphet Kotto) but when Mosely finds out what Jacks up to he also wants to get involved using his own ways. Marvin Dorfler(played by John Ashton) also wants to get hold of The Duke. The FBI is after Duke because of his involvement with dangerous killer Jimmy Serrano(played by Dennis Farina). Jacks in for a cool $100,000 if he can deliver Duke from New York to LA. Jacks dealing with Duke is also known later by the FBI and they want to make sure Jack gives Serrano the discs so they can all go and arrest Serrano, making Jacks plans work. 'Midnight Run' stars Robert De Niro, Charles Grodin, Yaphet Kotto, John Ashton, Dennis Farina, Joe Pantoliano, Richard Fonojy, Robert Miranda, Wendy Phillips, Danielle DuClos, Philip Baker Hall and Tom McCleister. What made this film great was John Ashton as Marvin Dorfler, this actor was in 'Beverly Hills Cop' and 'Beverly Hills Cop II' as Taggart but in this film he was also excellent and made me laugh a few times. I love this film and it was a different but classic cop comedy.
Mercenary for Justice (2006)
Intense, with great fight scenes and action but only in between good and very good
Mercenary For Justice was an in between good and very good film. The film which was about a highly trained black ops agent for the CIA called John Seeger(played by Steven Seagal). When a deadly mission goes wrong and his partner and best friend is slaughtered before his eyes by Mercenaries, the CIA deny all knowledge of the incident, refusing to even pay compensation to the bereaved family. Seeger is then forced back into action when the same band of ruthless Mercenaries kidnap his partners family to ensure he will cooperate with their malicious plans. Seeger now has only four days to free a notorious crime lord, save his friends family and escape the CIA. This film was intense, as well as having some great fight scenes, was full of high powered action, explosions etc. The only faults this film had is Luke Goss was awful using a fake American accent in this film as an American Killer and he also was awful in the film. Besides being intense, having great fight scenes, high powered action, explosions etc, the film could have been a lot better. I mean there should have been more fight scenes, Luke Goss shouldn't have been in this film and another real American actor should have been used to do his role. Luke Goss's appearance in this film ruined the film, so that's why I feel that it is a film which is only in between good and very good. Mercenary For Justice is not a crap film but it does need improvements.
