| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Basic Movie Rating: 
Disappointing | |
|
John Travolta careens through this useless bit of movie trickery as Tom
Hardy, an ex-Army Ranger turned DEA agent who's called in to investigate the
disappearance of a hated sergeant (Samuel Jackson) and several of his Special
Forces trainees. With only two remaining trainees (Giovanni Ribisi, Brian Van Holt) and Lt. Julia Osborne (Danish actress Connie Nielsen) around to help piece the puzzle together, Travolta's character has his job cut out for him, while Nielsen's has her hands full simply trying to sound like she's from Louisiana instead of, well, Denmark. The movie suffers from an inordinate number of twists and red herrings and, in the end, is basic nonsense. |
