I think you might find this review funny. When I first watched this movie in 94 it kept you on the edge of your seat. You never know what was going to happen next. It made you jump off of your seat when you didn't expect it. The funny thing is my husband is from Chicago, the north side, the good side, :)) and we were moving there when I first saw this moving. My 10 yr old son watched it with us. Needless to say he did not want to move to chicago after watching this movie. :)) I became a fan of Dennis Leary after watching this movie as well as the actors that was on his side. I like the others as well too. So the moral of the story is be careful in Chicago. [...]
Great film, but where are the extras???
After the miserable first release of Good Times-DVD, I expected a special collector's edition from UNIVERSAL. Of course, I should get disappointed - except of one lousy trailer there is nothing on the DVD! Although it was a nice try from UNIVERSAL to worth up the DVD with a DTS-Soundtrack, the DVD actually only matches the first release with its better picture-quality on this DVD-9! The film itself of course is some great-laconic action-flic with great acting-performances (Leary is a standout as Fellon, the bad guy!).
Great Film I Lucked Up On One Night
Judgment Night is one of those films you may not find unless you're watching USA after one a.m. or if you're on a late night cruise at a cheap video store. Nevertheless you get your money and time's worth with this gem, proving that you don't need huge stars to make a film exciting.
When this was filmed in 1993 Emilio Estevez was the biggest star of these four. Since then Stephen Dorff, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Denis Leary have all become famed feature film stars. I saw this film about eight years ago. Believe me it is one of those films you can watch ten times in a row so buying the DVD is a must! This is a thriller, comedy and action adventure all rolled into one. I was glad the filmmakers didn't throw in an unneeded romance or unneeded nudity. This is just a straight to the point picture about some homeboys crusing around at night, getting into trouble. And who hasn't been there right? The acting is energetic and high-paced. No one in the film lets you down. Judgment Night is like a ride on a roller coaster while you're drunk...it's frightening, uninhabited and incredibly sponatenous all wrapped in one. All I can say is if you like GOOD movies then you need to have this film in your collection. This is one buddy flick no one, male or female should miss. Have fun watching four hot babes running for their lives!
Two white firemen from Arkansas, Vince and Don, (played by Bill Sadler and Bill Paxton) retrieve a map from a burning building suggests to them the location of an old treasure: a pile of stolen gold stashed away in a deserted factory in East St. Louis.

Tension mounts as one of the firemen witnesses the murder and becomes the target of the heavily-armed gang. To complicate matters, the gangleaders, played to a superbly menacing effect by rappers Ice T. and Ice Cube, and fuelled by virulent racial hostility, discover that gold is at stake and the suspense and violence escalate to a...

One more time around for the storyline of The Most Dangerous Game, except this one's refitted with explosions, big guns, and a flood of testosterone. Ice-T plays Mason, a homeless man shanghaied from the streets of Los Angeles to work as a guide and all-around man Friday for a hunting party. What the down-on-his-luck fellow soon finds out is that he is the quarry, and has to rely on his own resourcefulness to stay one step ahead of his tormentors. Laden with atrocious dialogue and narrative implausibilities, this is still a fun action movie if seen only for its own merits and nothing more. The fine cast (Gary Busey, Charles Dutton, F. Murray Abraham, John C. McGinley) chews the script until practically frothing at the mouth while trying to out-maniac each other. Busey is...

Toy Soldiers is a slick dose of high-concept absurdity, and lots of fun if you don't think about it afterward. Adapted from a novel by William P. Kennedy, it's got the swift momentum that's a specialty of screenwriter David Koepp, whose later credits include Jurassic Park and Spider-Man. Matching Koepp's narrative energy is director and cowriter Daniel Petrie Jr., who wrote Beverly Hills Cop, and whose big-screen career stalled after this crowd-pleasing debut. The hokey plot involves a class of prep-school misfits (led by Sean Astin and Wil Wheaton) who use their rebellious ingenuity to foil Colombian terrorists who've taken over their school. The lead villain (Andrew Divoff) demands the return of his extradited drug-lord father (one of the prep students is the...

Tautly directed and superbly photographed, this crowd-pleasing thriller from 1997 is indebted to Steven Spielberg's Duel, but more closely resembles Dead Calm in its strengths and weaknesses. Kurt Russell plays a stressed-out husband whose wife (Kathleen Quinlan) disappears after their car breaks down in the desert. Tracking her whereabouts leads to an interstate theft and kidnapping ring, and as Russell pursues--and is pursued by--a vicious redneck played to perfection by J.T. Walsh (in one of his final film roles), the movie succumbs to several tense, but utterly conventional action sequences. That doesn't stop the movie from being an above-average nail-biter. It is so effectively directed by co-writer Jonathan Mostow that even the more surreal situations seem plausible... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Kurt Russell - J.T.

My mother had came in on part of the movie when my son made a comment. He shared how he really enjoyed the movie and would be a great addition to the martial arts collection. He was right.Van Damme is truly more human in this role. I recommend this to anyone looking for action and drama, Van Damme style.
