The mighty Gene Hackman in an Oscar winning performance as Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle. A gritty film which highlights the cast's acting performances.
The recently late but great Gene Hackman reprises his role as Popeye Doyle. Almost as gritty as the original film but still compelling viewing as you are absorbed in Hackman's character, as is always the case with this great actor.
Advice: Watch Gene Hackman's back catalogue and see a true actor at work. Always believable.
Not a huge fan of Robin Williams but, like many comedians, does straight acting very well. Great performances by all in the situation of privileged youth at public school given enlightenment by Williams' character, opening their minds through poetry and encouraging them to follow their dreams.
An excellent film.
A true story highlighting the lies that bought us the illegal invasion of Iraq.
Excellently acted by whole cast but stand out performances are from Ehys Ifans, Matt Smith, Ralph Fiennes and Keira Knightly.
