Favourite Thriller/Mystery Film


Synopsis
Two hundred and fifty years in the future, life as we know it is threatened by the arrival of Evil. Only the fifth element can stop the Evil from extinguishing life, as it tries to do every five thousand years. She is helped by ex-soldier, current-cab-driver, Korben Dallas, who is, in turn, helped by Prince/Arsenio clone, Ruby Rhod. Unfortunately, Evil is being assisted by Mr. Zorg, who seeks to profit from the chaos that Evil will bring, and his alien mercenaries.

Why this is my favourite Thriller/Mystery film?
The Fifth Element is a thrilling adventure from beginning to end. It does not bogged down into an investigation type mystery film. The solution to the mystery of what is the fifth element is clever indeed and worth the watch alone.

Synopsis
New York City Detective John McClane has just arrived in Los Angeles to spend Christmas with his wife. Unfortunatly, it is not going to be a Merry Christmas for everyone. A group of terrorists, led by Hans Gruber is holding everyone in the Nakatomi Plaza building hostage. With no way of anyone getting in or out, it’s up to McClane to stop them all. All 12!

Why this is my favourite action film?
The reason this is my favourite is it ticks all the action boxes and stars my favourite actor in Bruce Willis. Good triumphs over evil and he gets the girl whilst keeping composure under a ridiculous amount of stress.

30 Day Film Challenge – Day 9: A Film With Your Favorite Actor (Male) – Hudson Hawk with Bruce Willis

Synopsis
Eddie Hawkins, called Hudson Hawk has just been released from ten years of prison and is planning to spend the rest of his life honestly. But then the crazy Mayflower couple blackmail him to steal some of the works of Leonardo da Vinci. If he refuses, they threaten to kill his friend Tommy.

Why do I like Bruce Willis?
Bruce is an action star that does have the ability to transcend the action hero role and do true drama or comedy roles unlike his contemporaries in Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It is for this reason that I have chosen a comedy, and not copped out with Die Hard or some such. Whilst this film is not highly rated by many I put it ahead of a number of others that Willis has been in (notably Striking Distance) and regularly play it when my other half is asleep (as she is not a fan of the movie). The idea of singing to time the heist is cute and entertaining, even Andie McDowell does not grate in this movie.
