Humane, inspiring, beautiful, raw, street.

From the opening shot of the USS Missouri, you just know this film is gonna rock! Naked breasts included.

All the Rambo films are great, but this one features the best ever machine gun shoot out, or rather, "shoot at", with a Browning M2.

The best performance of a cybernetic "ohwginism" of living tissue over a steel combat chassis that you're ever likely to see.

The fastest way to a man's heart is Chuck Norris' fist.

Gaunt, brutal and bleedable: the Best Bond yet. But such a sad final scene.

"Tom Cody, pleased ta meetcha". More leather jackets, motorcycles, good looking females and positive male role models in this enchanted film where "the beautiful, the brutal and the brave all meet."

More positive male role modelling, this time from Arnold, as he incarnates his shadow to combat the monster without. A little spoiled by some unnecessary crudity which tends to jar in filmic context.

Van Damme's best work, in a highly impressive catalogue of machismo, bloodshed, and quite gratuitous nudity.

So realistic, I was trembling with concern as they boarded the copters to Mogadishu! Josh Hartnett is spot-on as the young NCO propelled into responsibility. Tom Sizemore is cool personified.

The physical prowess of Cyril Raffaelli and David Belle is an invigourating, heart-pounding joy to watch - holding to our sight, and aspiration, the physical heights to which the human body can scale.
