Copshop (2021)

A small town police station becomes the site of the confrontation between a crook and the efficient killer on his trail.

"Copshop" is a cop thriller that more or less takes place in just one location. It is well thought out, well put together, with a good pacing, a constant rhythm, which is on the same wavelength as the viewer's attention and interest.

Director:  Joe Carnahan       

With: Gerard Butler, Frank Grillo, Alexis Louder, Toby Huss

Rating: 8/10

Boss Level (2020)

Roy is stuck in a time loop where the same day takes place in exactly the same way and ends with Roy dying in various ways depending on what he does differently.

'Boss Level' is the sci-fi and action version of 'Groundhog Day'. I would sometimes liken it to 'Crank' if it weren't for the contradiction where the main character of this one loses more than a hundred times in order to get to change anything. It's modern, funny where humor has a place, the action is well done and the entertainment is of high quality.

Bonus: Mel Gibson, Michelle Yeoh and Naomi Watts appear in relatively unimportant roles.

Warrior (2011)

Doi frati care au pierdut legatura incearca sa isi rezolve problemele personale foarte diferite participand la acelasi concurs de lupte martiale.

Un experiment reusit de a imbina drama subtila cu foarte popularul gen de actiune sportiva. Cu doi protagonisti principali populari si un veteran de calibru mare, filmul atrage un public divers si reuseste sa multumeasca pe toata lumea. Cel mai memorabil e probabil rolul Tom Hardy care reuseste sa spuna foarte multe in cuvinte putine si expresii faciale intense.

Scenariu: Gavin O'Connor si altii

Regia: Gavin O'Connor

Cu: Joel Edgerton, Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte, Frank Grillo, Jennifer Morrison, Kevin Dunn
