- DirectorAndrey KonchalovskiyStarsJon VoightEric RobertsRebecca De MornayTwo escaped convicts and a female railway worker find themselves trapped on a speeding train with no brakes and nobody driving.One of the best thriller of all time, with an amazingly tight script, breathtaking action sequences, wonderful performances by Voight and Roberts, this should be seen by more people. Kurosawa wrote the original screenplay, a movie that inspired the likes of Speed and Unstoppable.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsKurt RussellZoë BellRosario DawsonTwo separate sets of voluptuous women are stalked at different times by a scarred stuntman who uses his "death proof" cars to execute his murderous plans.The editing by Sally Menke, the soundtrack, the characters...and of course the 11-min car chase towards the end. Great hangout movie.
- DirectorDenis VilleneuveStarsJake GyllenhaalMélanie LaurentSarah GadonA man seeks out his exact look-alike after spotting him in a movie.Misunderstood film by the genius Denis Villeneuve, everybody is talking about Prisoners, Sicario and Arrival, but don't miss out on Enemy. The film is 6.8 on imdb at the time I'm writing this, what the hell is wrong with you people?
- DirectorClint EastwoodStarsClint EastwoodVerna BloomMarianna HillA gun-fighting stranger comes to the small settlement of Lago and is hired to bring the townsfolk together in an attempt to hold off three outlaws who are on their way.
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsJoaquin PhoenixJosh BrolinOwen WilsonIn 1970, drug-fueled Los Angeles private investigator Larry "Doc" Sportello investigates the disappearance of a former girlfriend.One of my favorites of 2014, awesome 70s-fueled detective movie by Paul Thomas Anderson.
- DirectorSimon WestStarsJason StathamMichael AngaranoDominik GarciaWhen a Las Vegas bodyguard with lethal skills and a gambling problem gets in trouble with the mob, he has one last play...and it's all or nothing.If you're tired of the shaky-cam and quick editing in action films, Wild Card might be for you, it's a slow-burn with very well choreographed fight scenes, especially one in the Casino over 'White Christmas'. I also appreciated Jason Statham's performance in a more serious role.
