Reviews Featuring Liam Neeson
Gangs of New York
Good. Gangs of New York is like a really good looking (but boring) date. You hope there's some sugar waiting for you if you persevere, but you've got to get through three hours of monotony before you reach it. And like a boring date, there's not enough substance here to bring you back for a repeat performance.
Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace
Not quite as bad as many have said, this one has certainly been most enjoyed by youngsters new to Star Wars and is still worth spending a couple of hours with.
K-19: The Widowmaker
This gripping submarine disaster story has plenty of style and suspense, and the relationship between the characters makes it really worthwhile.
The Mission
This is an outstanding film with many fine qualities, but it requires a bit of concentration to get the best out of it.
Nell
This touching and charming drama is largely a vehicle for Jodie Foster, who doesn't disappoint.
Gangs Of New York
Offers us something different from the usual (and increasingly tiresome) gangland matter, but the end product is confusing, muddled-up and far, FAR too long. Any fans of DiCaprio out there (well, it takes all sorts) would be much better off picking up a copy of the vastly-superior Catch Me If You Can.
Love Actually
Plenty of people will love this film (you know who you are), but personally I couldn’t wait to escape the theatre by the time the full 135 minutes had been wrung dry.
Batman Begins
In his best, and darkest, outing to date, the masked avenger's personal 'issues' reflect those of the world in the wake of 9/11.
Kinsey
This biopic of pioneering sexologist Alfred Kinsey has its balls in its brain rather than the other way round.
Kingdom of Heaven
A powerful spiritualist epic that beats 'Gladiator' hands down in the Colosseum of ideas.
Schindler's List
Spielberg's greatest work is compulsory viewing
