Flightplan (2005)
Good for too see two times
Flightplan is a odd thriller. At the beginning of the movie you think that Kyle Pratt (Jodie Foster), is just a paranoid mother who recently lost her husband and has a small daughter to look after. But as the plot progresses and the daughter vanishes, you are truly left wondering if she's insane. And by the near end of it, you are slammed back in your seat by a very unexpected twist in the story (well, not that unexpected). And by the end, you're feel quite relieved.
Foster unsurprisingly wonderful job in this as a woman hellbent on finding her daughter. Peter Sarsgaard pulled of a pretty good job as the air Marshall who just wanted to keep the plane safe. Sean Bean pulled a very good job as Captain Rich.
It's a good thriller to see if you're seeing it for the first time but don't get me wrong. The second time I saw it, I still enjoyed it very much. It has thrills and chills and some clever thinking thrown into as well.
Extremely Dangerous (1999)
Extremely Dangerous-okay
This movie was okay. I'm into crime drama and all that and this was a good crime movie but I think Sean Bean was miscast in this movie. He's a great actor in all but I don't think this is his kind of role. He should stick to bad guys, costume dramas or intense lover. But, as a fugitive on the run, it's not his thing. Though I get down on my knees and beg that he be the lead in one movie, like a romance movie. Though with the off acting through out the first installment and halfway through the second one, he pulled of two of the most intense moments of the film, when he finds out of killed his family and when he's walks into his apartment and finds his wife dead, although the wife part wasn't that good but when he realizes that his daughter could be dead as well, it makes your heart stop that does. The anger he expresses in his face and voice when he finds out who the killer is make you feel the anger burning red hot. But, he's not the only one. Juliet Aubrey got on my nerves. For some reason, she was annoying in this movie. The music was awesome though. I loved the music. And seeing Sean Bean walking around without a shirt on. That was a bonus as well.
The Field (1990)
Depressing.
This is not a movie to watch when you want to feel happy, when you want a movie to make you feel happy run as far away as you can from this movie. Even though a good movie, it is very depressing. Richard Harris plays a good job as the stubborn and slightly insane farmer who is obsessed with his land. I loved Jenny Conroy (Katie the Tinker), she was spunky and free lanced. Brenda Fricker was lovely as Maggie, Bull's wife. Sean Bean plays a good job as Bull's son Tadgh, a sort of slow boy who's living in the shadow of his dead older brother. I got this movie and only liked one scene. It was when Tadgh went to "confront" Katie. Just the arrogant, teenagerish looks he pulled off. And that was about it. This movie was just to sad and depressing for me.
GoldenEye (1995)
Goldeneye, possible or impossible?
Another James Bond movie, with all his charm and intelligence. This is probably one of two of my favorites James Bonds movie and usually I don't like James Bond movies. Goldeneye has a unique story to it, with a villain that's either insane or just driven by the need for revenge. Bronsan does a good job as Bond, pulling the charm and calmness of this 007 agent. The actress who played his love interest (am sorry for the actress thing but for the love of god I can't figure out of to spell her name) was a good character. Spunky. Famke Jensen was good as Xena, the beautiful but deadly assassin. Alan Cumming was good as the little worm, completely full of himself. Bean also pulled of a wonderful job, as the villain Alec a.k.a 006, the former agent. It was a good movie, though some of it's impossible plot twists. The thing I loved most about this movie was the song at the beginning "Goldeneye" by Tina Turner. What a cool song.
The Island (2005)
It is definitely a movie that makes you think.
As all the others have said before, it is a movie about cloning. Lincoln Two-Echo is a clone as is Jordan Two-Delta (Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johanson). Lincoln finds out, saves the girl from being hurt and/or killed and runs to hopefully find help. I liked this movie...okay, I really liked this movie. Fanstay/Sci-Fi things work for me. Micheal Bay did a good job directing this flick. The camera angles and all that were awesome. It had a good balance of romance, suspense, action and drama. Wonderful jobs by all the actors, highlighting Scarlett Johanson and Sean Bean. Merrick says that the clones were childlike and Johanson pulled off that childlike feeling to her character. While McGregor, though seeming very childlike at times, seemed some of the time just to be stupid. Sean Bean as the evil doctor Merrick was a weird and twisted character. He believes he's doing good and that the clones he "makes" are nothing more than tools to be used. Sean Bean pulled off a wonderfully heartless and somewhat disturbing Merrick. All in all, it was a good movie. Or at least, I thought it was.
Bravo Two Zero (1999)
Bravo two Zero
This movie was a amazing film. Though I do not recommend it to younger people or people who are sensitive about the events that happened to Mister Macnab. The acting in this film was amazing. Sean Bean did a wonderful job as the soldier, the good guy. Which seems to be the best role for him, not the baddie! But, this film was amazing. With a good ending and a story that makes you think, wow, those men actually went out there to help people. Though, it could be rather sad and frightening at times. I would not recommend minors seeing it, or people sensitive to war violence. But, other than that, go see it. It is a wonderful movie.
