A few films I have seen as of lately:
The Cowboy Way (1994) by Gregg Champion
Two rodeo cowboys (Kiefer Sutherland and Woody Harrelson) must leave "safety", and turn to the big city (New York), when a good friend of theirs have found himself in big trouble, looking for his young daughter, who is taken into the "warmth" by a nasty villain (Dylan McDermott).
I really hoped for a good time, but this lame buddy-cop attempt, just never seemed to find the right chemistry or balance, and I thought the film should have ditched the comedy parts, and went for more of a hard hitting crime-action thriller, as the comedy stuff, featuring Woody, was really lame, and just stretched far too much out, and the stuff with Marg Helgenberger and her gay pals, was painful to behold.
Dylan McDermott seems like just another forgettable sleazy yuppie-scumbag, and yeah, I remembered very little, from my last visit, years ago, when it was sent on late night cable.
Sadly, I waste money on this DVD, and it is not something that I will keep for much longer, a disappointing movie, that could have been better, but I guess I will rather go with the much more fun and enjoyable late 80s buddy-cop action film, Renegades, which featured Kiefer Sutherland and Lou Diamond Phillips, going into the big town, and making the bad guys hurt.
5/10
American Dragons (1998) by Raph Hemecker
Another, east meets west buddy-cop action films of the late 90s, but one I kind of hoped would turn into a pleasant surprise, considering I am a fan of Michael Biehn, and it is not too often, you get to see him in the leading role. Sadly, this film felt kind of cheap, like a video release, but still it did pack some cool and neat fighting scenes, the usual bullshit talk, between the two main characters, and some rather colorful bad guys, where it was nice to see Don Stark, shine as a brutal gangster.
All in all, not somethin I would ever re-watch, once is more than enough. Not bad, just forgettable stuff.
Night Trap (1993) by David A. Prior
Only caught hold of this, because I knew it was one of those rare films, where Robert Davi is the main hero, and no big surprise which part Michael Ironside gets to play, and yeah, with names like Mike Starr and John Amos, I went in, hoping for something, not that aweful.
Turned out, this late night action/supernatural thriller, were a lot of fun, and even though I fell a sleep twice, not because it was boring, but I had already watched a film earlier, and had long run/training outdoors, so I was tired but still, of what I got out of the film, Night Trap was surely better than what I expected it to be.
