Dias Selvagens
Detective #1
A partir do fim do relacionamento de John (Cillian Murphy) e Deirdre (Kelly Macdonald), o filme avança misturando amor, roubo a banco, sequestro e vingança. Surpreendente e imprevisível, "Dias Selvagens" foge do lugar comum e conquista o espectador por sua originalidade. Investigando o poder que cada um tem em interferir na vida dos outros, o filme é um passatempo inventivo e inquieto, qualidades que não costumam caminhar juntas.

Quigley, Um Profissional de Elite
Hobb
Tom Selleck em sua mais corajosa interpretação nesse novo estilo de faroeste com filmagem panorâmica de épico (Los Angeles Times). Tiroteios intensos, paisagens incríveis, fugas alucinadas – todas marcas registradas do faroeste clássico – são reinventadas neste filme de ação que revitaliza o gênero e se mostra um verdadeiro vencedor” (The Hollywood Reporter). Ao chegar à Austrália sem nada além de uma sela e um amado rifle, o atirador americano Matthew Quigley acha que foi contratado para matar cães selvagens. Mas quando percebe que sua verdadeira missão é “eliminar” os aborígines das terras de um rico e poderoso barão do gado, Quigley recusa o trabalho e passa de caçador a caçado. Forçado a declarar guerra a seu ex-empregador, Quigley prova que ninguém faz um atirador de olhos de lince de bobo, ninguém, menos a misteriosa beldade (Laura San Giacomo, Sexo, Mentiras e Videotape) que cavalga a seu lado e captura seu coração.
Run Chrissie Run!
Collins
The action moves along quickly, jumping over holes in the script, in this made-for-television drama about Eve, an ex-terrorist from Germany who is forced to escape to Australia with her teenage daughter Chrissie when she is sought by Riley, a lover from 17 years in the past. In turn, the IRA has sent two members after Riley because he shot an IRA soldier and must pay the consequences. The two IRA operatives looking for Riley come across a really nasty biker who wants vengeance on Eve for setting his car on fire -- and the three men finally track her and Chrissie to the wine-growing country of Barossa Valley. The final denouement is about to explode, as Riley also arrives on the scene. With under-par acting and a patchy plot, this film was never released theatrically.
