This film review for the movie Sahara is here solely because I think that it is a fun film to watch whenever you want an adventure film. Thus, I feel it is also a film that shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Whomever watches it should just watch it to enjoy an action-adventure film. Moving forward, I will be discussing some finer parts, so spoilers. The following should be a pretty good description of the film.
First, we start off by seeing the main characters escorting a WHO doctor after rescuing her in Mali. However, their objectives are entirely divergent, which leads to them parting ways temporarily. Not long after, the main character and his partner get drawn into a plot involving the poisoning of a local water supply. Eventually, they find both the source of the poison, a power plant, and what they came for as well. They came for a lost Confederate ship full of gold.
In Conclusion for this Film Review for the Movie Sahara
As I stated earlier, this is just supposed to be a film review for Sahara to get people to watch it. Whether you watch it for the comedy, of which there is a good amount, or the action, it can be found throughout. The film can feel cheesy at times, therefore I take points off for that. However, I still rate it highly because of pure entertainment value. Hopefully, this makes at least one person want to watch it,

This film review for World Trade Center is written to discuss the portrayal of the heroics of the Port Authority on 9/11. Therefore I just want to say now that it is well done given the content. When the film first released it wasn’t too many years after the attack. Following the attack, their was a period of time where it was a very sensitive topic. Although it was sensitive, this film was released to show just how First Responders put their lives on the line to save others.
First, the film shows us just how much of a normal morning it was in the Big City. However, that is immediately shattered the attack on the Twin Towers. Following the incident, the Port Authority responded with police and firefighters helping evacuate the area. Then, we see just how horrible it was for all those involved. Even though they saved many lives, many were lost when the towers collapsed, including First Responders. What we see next is the survival efforts of a couple of them who were trapped under rubble.
In Conclusion for this Film Review for World Trade Center the Movie
While it may have seemed partially insensitive to some, the film was done with much respect. This can be seen all throughout the film with the procedures followed and the rescue attempts. Though this is only a part of the film, because it also shows that in times of crisis, we come together. This is the biggest reason I find it fascinating, and why I love the film. Hopefully you feel the same and watch the film.

This film review for the film Walking Tall exists solely because I like the film. Throughout the film there is plenty of action that feels like it could exist in real life. Of course, there are plenty of moments that are over-the-top, but still fun. What we want from movies is a suspension of disbelief and to have fun. Therefore, I believe this film is perfect for just that role.
First off, we have the main protagonist returning home after serving in the military. Everything feels off around him, but it still feels like home to him. Eventually he finds out that the town is deeply seeded with corruption, and decides to stand up to it. Obviously this kicks off a film full of action that sometimes may be just a bit much. However, it is still great just to see action that isn’t too much, and that’s what we get.
In Conclusion for this Film Review for the Film Walking Tall
Beyond all of the action in the film, we see the personification of greed which caused the issues in the film. What I mean to say is the plot is actually well written. Though this film is a remake, it is honestly well done though different from the original. I like watching remakes that differentiate from the original in some way. Hopefully, this fact makes you want to watch the film as well.

This film review for the movie Balto goes into how the film is a fantastic animated film. Thus the following is just to discuss how well it plays out. The characters in the film are all well written and makes us care for the characters. Therefore, we cannot feel anything but joy whenever they do. We as the audience get to see how the characters react to the situations they find themselves in, especially dire ones. It is hard for an animation to make us feel sympathy for characters sometimes, but this film is an exception.
First of all, the main characters of the film are sled dogs, so that is different already. Next we see the effect that a prejudiced opinion has on the titular character. He is a dog who is willing to do whatever he can to help others. This can be seen with his facial expressions and the expressions of those around him. Following his run in with prejudice because of his being a half wolf mutt, he proves himself for a long distance journey that can save lives. Therefore we feel nothing but excitement by the time you hear his howl near the end of the film.
In Conclusion for this Film Review for the Movie Balto
Throughout the film, Balto is cast aside for sled runs, even though he is just as good as the other dogs. His following actions throughout the rest of the film make everyone see how great he is. Eventually he helps in a huge way saving the lives of children in a small town by delivering medicine. As a matter of fact, this film is based off a true story, which means this dog is responsible for saving many lives. Hopefully this fact alone makes the film worth watching if you haven’t seen it already.

This film review for the film Air Force One is one that goes into the fantastic filmography of the film. Throughout the film, there is a countless amount of suspense. Viewers can expect the film to be full of moments that make the stakes feel real. The villains of the film are given their direction right out of the gate and we know their motivations. However, we don’t know how characters will react until the moment they have to.
First off, the film sees the capture of a dictator by a joint US- Russian operation. Next, the film shows the President of the United States traveling on the titular plane with his family. Following this, the terrorists make their move and their demands, the release of the dictator. From this point onward, we see the president fighting against the terrorists on his own, and this is because he was in the military. Through the use of guerrilla tactics, he eventually manages to stop the threat once and for all.
In Conclusion for this Film review for the Film Air Force One
All throughout the film we see countless triumphant moments, but not without horrible ones as well. This makes the viewer all the happier when good moments pop up. This film is not perfect in the slightest because some parts can be predictable. However, this doesn’t take away from the suspense that we, as viewers, may feel. Therefore I highly suggest that you watch the film, since it is not only a classic, but a great action film.

This film review for Battleship the movie goes into how this film can be fun to watch, but is not one that people have to watch. After all, this film is one that is based off of a board game. There is nothing special about the film other than one section where they fight like you you would in Battleship the game. The rest of the movie sees another action movie, but against aliens. Therefore, this movie doesn’t deserve much praise but it most certainly is fun to watch.
Firstly, the plot revolves around a battleship crew trapped in an alien barrier. Next, we see the crew trying their best to survive against the much more powerful threat. The humans are the huge underdogs in this film, but we already know the outcome. Then, there is a night scene where they fire shots towards specific areas based off of signals. This is the board game section of the film. The remainder is just regular combat against their enemy.
In Conclusion for this Film Review of Battleship the Movie
It is probably obvious from this film review for Battleship that I don’t care much for the film. That’s not to say I will never watch it again. Regardless of what I think of it there is merit to watching it because it is fun. It’s an action movie through and through, and it can provide plenty of entertainment. I would recommend you try watching it at least once, but it isn’t necessary.
