Twice as Dead (2009)
Dysfunctional couple robs bank, succeeds at robbery, fails at getaway...
... because they take hostage the guy who supplies them with their fake passports. I saw this at a private screening last year and only hope it goes wide. Every marriage has its problems but this film really makes you look inside and ask what it's all about. Middle class, misguided fruit compotes trying to make their lives work and failing because they have no values or no spine. This felt like "Bonnie and Clyde" meets "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf." This is fast paced witty stuff. All three leads burn it up, particularly Jeff Stearns. The girl's legs go on for days and the nebbish husband made me ache. Every time I thought they couldn't sustain it on the obviously modest budget I was surprised. This is a worth see, no matter how hard you have to look.
The Berlin Conspiracy (1992)
CIA and STASI team up to stop biological weapons
This is an interesting take on the fall of the Berlin wall and the surrounding impact on the lives of the people. Though not always accurate, its heart is in the right place and reminds me of The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and all those great Cold War movies. Ironically, this is the last of its kind, and in a way a tribute to them. Marc Singer is a bit stiff but Stephen Davies and Mary Crosby inhabit their characters effectively.
White Wolves II: Legend of the Wild (1996)
Troubled kids find their way back to a better place.
Forget the jaded comments that come before these. This is an action packed but sensitive movie about people who overcome real problems in a beautiful setting. Well-acted, even by Elizabeth Berkley. Recommended for anyone who wants to feel something and experience change.
