So this is the Russel Crowe movies part of the list. When i compile these lists I often find it very difficult to find films that attract me and to get the balance right. I try to go through lists of best ever films but obviously i don't just want to take the top 100 off of them so i compile lists and then go through new releases or films that i may have missed. I always find that after all that I am about twenty films short so then i pick an actor and IMDB them and randomly pick some of the films that come up. This is why there have been several Liam Neeson films in quick succession and several Morgan Freeman films as well.
This is another typical kinda Federal action based films. I felt that the plot was predictable and as Russel Crowe says in that film, the female character is really annoying.
Russel Crowe was quite good in this film. He was convincing as a farther and even mostly convincing as a FBI officer but i didn't get that cutting edge from him. There are very few actors that give that cutting edge and the best example that i can think of is Mark Harmon who, of course, stars in NCIS. Anyone wanting to undertake a role of a federal officer should watch a couple of series of NCIS and learn from Mark Harmon because as shown by him, the Liam Neeson approach of pointing a gun and being aggressive doesn't always work. I guess I just don't see Russel Crowe as intimidating, he isn't obviously muscular, he has a very soft and melodic voice which in this type of film doesn't help him out and I wasn't convinced when he was doing some of those scenes that he was the right man for the job, but, this film was made in 1995 so there have been massive changes and a lot of new actors have emerged since then and made those kind of roles their own.
The film was good but very predictable and the star of the film was probably the kid.
