Seven Thieves (1960)

opinion: "The Asphalt Jungle (1950)", "Rififi (1955)", "Bob Le Flambeur (1956)", "Seven Thieves (Mar 1960)" and "Ocean´s 11 (Aug 1960)"... Heist is the main theme that they have in common. The reason why "Seven Thieves" still an unknown movie for the big "crime audience", probably because "Ocean´s 11" was released 6 months later! Frank Sinatra was …

Remember (2015)

opinion: Nothing seems to be the way it looks! Your mind moves in one direction and you continue there for a long period! Suddenly and when you less expect you need to change your mind direction to the opposite way! Yet there is a hint half of the way pointing out that something is out of context, but you …

Double Indemnity (1944)

opinion:  According some crime expertises there are two types of violent homicide: -Expressive violence (unplanned): acts that vent rage, anger, or frustration; And -Instrumental violence (planned): acts designed to improve the financial or social position of the criminal or to achieve a goal or a girl... Normally greed, money, stupidity and love triangles are involved …

The Asphalt Jungle (1950)

opinion: When the intelligent criminal Erwin "Doc" Riedenschneider is released from prison, he seeks a fifty-thousand-dollar investment from the bookmaker Cobby to recruit a small gang of specialists for a million-dollar heist of jewels from a jewelry. Doc is introduced to the lawyer Alonzo D. Emmerich that offers to finance the whole operation and buy the …

The Killers (1946)

opinion: What Mark Hellinger, a Hollywood producer, expected from a movie, top billing one unknown but good looking Circus acrobat, an obscure but beautiful secondary n0-dramatic actress and directed by a German expat expressionist? On top of that the lead actor should be killed five minutes after the start, revealing the killers and the whole story should be presented backward on …

The Killers (1964)

opinion: There is a story about how Mark Hellinger, the Producer for "The Killers (1946)", wants to have Siegel to direct the original version, but some how the assignment went to Robert Siodmak instead. We are thankful for that. We have two versions and very different from each other, but with the same final goal... a good entertainment! …

The Magnificent Seven (1960)

opinion:  It could be redeemed and not just another job the real reason why these seven gun-for-hire men decided to defend the poor and terrorised Mexican village. Each one of them seems to have a different reason for accepting the assignment, even if the odds were not so good: seven good-looking Americans against more than thirty nasty dirty Mexicans... It´s a …

Unforgiven (1992)

opinion: The year is 1881 and it tells the narrative of William Munny (Eastwood), the retired inhuman killer that sees an opportunity to share $1.000,00 (around $25.000,00 today) to hunt and kill 2 cowboys that when drunk "cut up the face, the eyes out, the ears off, hell, they even cut the teats" of an young prostitute. The four distinguished figures and former gun-crazy …

Jason Bourne (2016)

opinion: Richard Chamberlain was the first Bourne in a TV adaptation "The Bourne Identity (1988)" before Matt Damon became the new and famous "The Bourne Identity (2002)". Later it continued with "The Bourne Supremacy (2004)" and "The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)" the amazing final chapter for the saga. Everybody was happy and satisfied  🙂 Matt Damon stated in 2007 that he …

Johnny Guitar (1954)

opinion: The music played by Johnny Guitar (Hayden) it´s not what you expected to be, but never the less he played only one guitar song for Dancin´ Kid (Brady) to dance! Is this an anti mccarthyism movie, a pro women liberation movie or both? Who cares! This is unique and exclusive western movie... including the final duel between …
