Straight Shooter (1999)
The German Rambo...
STRAIGHT SHOOTER is a straight forward movie in a way, we all have seen in the German TATORT TV-series before. Director Thomas Bohn did well and tried to get a deeper inside view of a human killer (the Straight Shooter - Dennis Hopper as Frank Hector gave him this name but I still don't know why, did I miss a line?). Dennis Hopper is minimized to a very cool character (sorry for him) and Heino Ferch as Shooter could become a real German Bruce Willis - he should just have spoken a bit more! Thanx to Producer Joseph Vilsmaier for getting away from stupid German comedies and at least try to make a straight forward German thriller!
Arlington Road (1999)
VERY GOOD AND A MUST SEE!!!
It might be one of this years BEST - especially the ending is fantastic (every other ending would have just been a good laughter). The thrill is blowing you off the seat sometimes and especially the acting of Jeff Bridges is amazing. VERY GOOD AND A MUST SEE 1999!
