The crime film is one of the greatest genres to provide audiences with a mainline to adrenaline charged action drama and emotion. If you don’t go for all the fantasy CGI and 3D cinema, Ruben Fleischer’s upcoming old school cops vs. criminals film Gangster Squad (the title even sounds like a pulp novel) might be for you. It looks like a throwback to classics we love like Once Upon a [read...] 
The French Connection, The Exorcist, Sorceror, To Live and Die in L.A., these are just a few of the cinematic masterpieces Director William Friedkin has given to movie lovers over the years. We’re thrilled to hear that he has a new film on the way and it’s by no means playing by the usual Hollywood rules, something we at Furious Cinema not only love to see but it’s partly why [read...] 
Falling Down is proof that not all Joel Schumacher films suck (it’s mainly just his Batman movies). This is a great film that I believe should be known as a classic, among the ranks of Scarface, Die Hard and other timeless must see movies. (That is the quick review should you read no more.) “Falling Down” is a self proclaimed “tale of urban reality”, which has a meaning that becomes [read...] 
“Harry Brown” stars Michael Caine, a respected older actor who has been acting on stage, television and movies for over 60 years. He has no gaps in his resume, in fact his fame has accumulated moreso in recent years. The main premise of the story is that of the vigilante. Vigilante movies are sort of their own sub-category. Other vigilante movies are ones like the Death Wish series starring Charles [read...] 
We couldn’t do our Don Siegel retrospective without reviewing the film that features one of the international icons of popular cinema… Clint Eastwood plays “Dirty” Harry Callahan a rebellious San Francisco police homicide inspector who is investigating the killing of a woman by a serial killer called Scorpio (Andrew Robinson) a character who was inspired by the real Zodiac killer that was from the same area. Harry’s wreckless methods of [read...] 
They used to call him “Blow Em Away” Ollie because he made movies that were explosive. As a screenwriter he gave us classics like Midnight Express, Conan The Barbarian and Scarface. As a filmmaker he took us to hell and back with films such as Salvador, Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Natural Born Killers and U-Turn just to name a few. For the past decade or so it [read...] 
Two years after making the film noir classic Out of The Past (1947) together, Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer co-starred in this South of The Border crime adventure. Mitchum plays U.S. Army Lieutenant Duke Halliday, who is robbed of a $300,000 payroll he is carrying by a fast talking shyster named Fiske (Patric Knowles). Meanwhile, Halliday’s superior Capt. Vincent Blake (William Bendix) suspects him of the actual crime and is [read...] 
Two hitmen, Charlie (Lee Marvin) and Lee (Clu Gulager) are hired to track down and kill Johnny North (John Cassavetes) by an unknown client. When they find North he is teaching auto repair at a school for the blind. Right away it is apparent these two assassins mean business as they rough up anyone who gets in their way, even a blind female secretary. The men proceed to the room [read...] 
From the opening moments of Abel Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant (1992) when New York Police Officer “L.T.” (Harvey Keitel) drives his bratty kids to school we can see he is a furious human being. As he watches the kids leave he sneaks a few snorts of coke just to wake him up. When he gets to his latest job in the city (the scene of a double murder) the dark mood [read...] 
We’re really anxious to see this furious action film from director Gareth Evans. Word around the geek campfire is that it delivers the mad as hell, brutally bombastic thrills big time! We’ve been informed recently from other sites that the movie has been retitled The Raid: Redemption because it is, in fact, the first in a trilogy. This just cranks up the coolness even more to find out that we’ll [read...] |
