Movie Review: BEST OF PATRICK SWAYZE
Summary: 5 Stars
Truly love it, but after a while of seeing it over 100 times, it's boring.Movie Review: Black Dog
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big Patrick Swayze fan. This is a great action filled movie.Movie Review: An Unforgettable Ride of Explosions and High Intellectualism
Summary: 4 Stars
From the opening scene, it becomes clear that director Kevin Hooks is going to serve up a John Woo style action flick as the backdrop for promoting his views on existentialist thought. Patrick Swayze, a God-fearing truck driver, serves as a modern day Soren Kierkegaard while the rougher Randy Travis counters as an atheistic Jean-Paul Sartre figure. Together, the two must deliver one last shipment to prevent harm to Swayze's wife (a Simone de Beauvoir lookalike) and daughter, all the while battling an angry Meatloaf, the rig-driving equivalent of Edmund Husserl. While trucking cross-country, Swayze continually posits that religious faith is central to an authentic existence through the guise of insisting on delivering the goods "according to plan". Travis (who, incidentally, provides some lovely songs on the score with his `Juan and Diego Band') believes that by accommodating the terrorists' plan, they are checking their own individualism. In other words, they are "condemning themselves to be free" by forcing themselves to make future directed choices. At a critical point, Travis says, "Let's do it, Black Dog," revealing the existentialist common ground that an individual's subjective experience is the focus of what it is to exist as a human being.
Interestingly, the daughter-mother hostage scenes reveal a Nietzche-Hume debate on the habit of causality, but I won't reveal all the best bites. Look for writers Mickelberry and Vining's subtle nod to the unfortunate young death of Albert Camus during the truck-over-the-cliff scene!
Movie Review: Another underrated action movie from Swayze 8/10
Summary: 4 Stars
Just a random review this time Black Dog directed by Kevin Hooks he also directed Passenger 57 & now he directs TV shows but it's a shame Hooks knows how to make action movie. It stars Patrick Swayze as Jack Crews, Randy Travis, as Earl, Meat Loaf as Red, Graha Beckel as Culter Charles S Duttpn as Agent Alan Ford. Story is Jack Crews is struggling to make end meat for his family his boss Culter offers him a job to take a load of bathroom fixtures to New Jersey. He is also promised his CDL back because 2 years prior he fell asleep at the wheel of his semi killing a motorist & he also experienced a hallucination The Black Dog. Jack meets Red who gives him a rig we also meet Earl, Wes & Sunny. Well things go bad when Jack finds the load is illegal fire arms. Red is sending people to kill Jack cause of failed negotiations about money with Culter. Culter makes sure that Jack does make the trip by taking Jack's Wife & Daughter hostage. That's pretty much the plot. I thought the actors worked real good together Patrick Swayze should've ventured more into the action genere. Action scenes & stunts are great it's a solid movie with a lot of fun to it.Movie Review: An Surprisngly Sharp Action/Thriller.
