D.O.A. (1988, R)
This remake of a 1949 film noir has Dennis Quaid, given a slow-acting poison, setting out to find his own murderer before it's too late. It is an involving and entertaining little picture from start to finish. Quaid is at his caustic best; and he is sadly one of the most underused talents in Hollywood. His then beau Meg Ryan also appears with him, but as is usually the case, doesn't really make much of an impact. |

Superb... dark and disturbing... beautiful and entertaining... chilling, emotional and thrill-packed between Ewan McGregor and Ashley Judd on their journeys around USA. Stephen Elliott's considerable skills as a filmmaker ensuring that this very classy thriller is not only exciting visually but also bold and original. |

The Departed (2006, R)
This is the best American crime classic film of the year and this US remake version has some familiar scenes to Hong Kong's Internal Affairs. I like Leo DiCaprio in his outstanding performance as an undercover cop with the mob as what I think he is just like Tony Leung's role in 2003 Hong Kong film. Also for Jack Nicholson is the bestest performance as the crime boss character than Robert DeNiro in director Martin Scorsese's past crime films. |
