I watched 2 movies today both featuring Christopher Walken. This wasn’t intentional, but sometimes strange things happen.
Film 1 was The Rundown[imdb.com] (aka ‘Welcome To The Jungle’ in the rest of the world). For some reason this movie never received much publicity in the UK, and apparently poor publicity in the States, although it did garner good reviews. I would like to add my name to those who enjoyed the film. It’s an excellent ‘Indiana-Jones lite’ that shows that both The Rock (wrestler) and Seann William Scott (American Pies’ Stifler) can both act (really)!
Film 2 was Man on Fire[imdb.com]. This film isn’t out on R1 DVD until Sep 14, and not even in the UK cinemas until October 8, so you probably haven’t heard of this one either. My copy of the DVD arrived 6 weeks early at my favourite R1 retailer, explaining my early viewing. It’s a Denzel Washington film where he gets to show his evil side. If you liked Training Day you should check this out when you get a chance.
