Leon The Professional, The (Professional, The) (1994): Because Gary Oldman is so good there are two films – one with him in it and one without him. After a good start, the screenplay weakens out and even goes off the rails. Oldman is perfect but he is not in it enough to save it.; DVD $39.95 | Blu-Ray $49.95
Out of Africa (1985): There is some beautiful location shooting but it is not enough to get you through 2.5 hours.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Replacement Killers, The (1998): No surprises in the screenplay but it is refreshing to have a male action lead that is not a muscle head.
8mm (1998): There is a very good support cast so it is watchable if you can bear with the trademark Cage hysterics.
McKenzie Break, The (Escape) (1970): There is a curiosity value to the screenplay. Brian Keith stood out like a sore thumb and his was a curious casting.
Science of Sleep, The (2006): The screenplay, especially the fantasy sequences, is very good but the romantic subplot gradually takes over the film and slows it down.
Holy Smoke (1999): The screenplay doesn't quite work but the proceedings could never be boring with the two leads.
Cadillac Man (1990): There is a lot of yelling and shouting and not much else.
LBJ (2016): Another political bio from a period in the USA that has been thrashed to death. It is well produced however and the makeup people do a great job cloning the actors (particularly the noses). Jennifer Jason Leigh's appearance is spot on.
Rogue Assassin (War) (2007): Two good action stars more than helps.
