 Robert Patrick and Fred Ward in a fairly lacklustre jungle adventure. Skip to 5:30 mark to see the trailer for Forbidden City: The Vivero Letter. |

LICENSE TO KILL 1989 - Some good action scenes although the dramatics were kind of uneven. Bond seems unhinged in the first half--while Bouvier is presented as a competent CIA agent who can give him advice on what gun to have in a bar fight (a ridiculous moment)--but then in the second half she seemed to be used as comedy relief especially when Q and Wayne Newton show up.

 Man on Fire (1987) Pretty much in the minority that prefers this version over the Tony Scott and Denzel Washington 2004 film. Way slower, low-key with a muddled ending, but I felt more invested in the characters and story. |

 Wild City (2015) After an 8 year hiatus (that started after ‘Triangle’ in 2007) Ringo Lam returns in 2015 with a Hong Kong action-noir ‘Wild City’. Always moving and efficiently stylised, but not particularly spectacular or memorable in its storytelling when compared to his earlier works.

The Taking of Pelham 123 (1974). Favorite go-to action thriller, with just the right mix of fast-paced suspense and dark humor. And that ending is killer!

Set It Off (1996). 7/10. Most of the cast is pretty good except for Kimberly Elise;apparently her film debut. Eerily similar to Ben Affleck's The Town in terms of plot.

I myself like it.
LOL, I actually even watched it the other day.

 Tastes have to differ here. I hated the remake. Maybe in part because I feel like the original film captures what I think of as 'my' New York so wonderfully, and I just didn't feel anything about the switch in locale to the DC Metro; also, I think the original has a great quirky feel to it, which makes it as much character play as straight-up actioner, and the remake just came across as mindless bang-up instead. But the main plot point is still intriguing and rather likeably daft in both versions, so a lot of the preference probably speaks generational thing as much as anything else.
