Three Fugitives
Nick Nolte is released on Parole for Bank Robberies, After been given a lift from Detective James Earl Jones, gets caught up in a Bank Robbery committed by Martin Short who wants to raise money to help care for his mute Daughter. Obviously, The Police believe that it's Nolte behind The Robbery therefore he has to go on the run with Short and his Daughter. A fine effort but lacks something that would take it into a classic 80's Comedy Movie.
Hobo With A Shotgun
Rutger Hauer is The Hobo who arrives in a town where it's being run by a Gangster and his Sons. Fed up he get's a Shotgun and kills all the bad guys. Just a tad violent and bloody lol, it delivers what it promises, don't take it seriously, it is entertaining but the whole The Plague and whatever that creature was just makes it weird when it didn't need to be.
Horrible Bosses
3 friends hate their Bosses so much that they hatch a plan to murder all 3 of them. Definitely one of Warner Bros best 15 rated Comedies of recent times. Jennifer Aniston seems to be having a blast as a Dentist that sexually harasses her Assistant.
The Departed
Remake of Infernal Affairs which sees Leonardo Dicaprio infiltrate Jack Nicholson's Mob and Matt Damon infiltrate The Police and the chase to uncover the mole first. A bit long winded but it maintains the general story of the original whilst making it different. I feel that it's best when the remake is different in places which then allows the people who watched the original to watch the remake without it being the same scene by scene. The issue I had with The Hills Have Eyes remake was it was virtually similar to its predecessor.
