You got Banderas as the ex military, a guard who has turned up for their shift hung over, one who is in the job for the excitement, one who is in the job till a better paying job and a stuck up guard who thinks he is "the boss"...sounds like people I have worked with.



Ben Kingsley has always been a great actor to watch and leads a team to track down a girl who is due to testify and they want her out the way from their employer. The night shift staff do think on their feet on what can be used as a make shift arsenal even though it might seem a bit far fetched but what they use can be done. Another entertaining flick.

I really like Security, one of a few decent dtv Antonio Banderas movies. There's one he did with Karl Urban is quite cool as well, can't think what it's called.

Copshop. 2021.

Two men, one who punches a cop is arrested, the other drives a car into a state troopers car while drunk is arrested. Both men are in the same police station where they want to be for different reasons.

Frank Grillo is the no so talkative cop puncher, Gerard Butler as the drunk driver who is sharing a cell with another drunk who doesn't speak so many words and Alexis Louder as the young rookie cop who manages to hold her ground. This started off well then kinda goes a bit south with the dialogue then paces up again when Toby Huss turns up as a assassin. There is some good funny moments blended in and the director using blue filter for outdoor night time shots that doesn't really work well. Decent enough to see Gerard being a wise ass.

Seen this a couple of times now. Had to get this on dvd as there's no UK Blu.

It was like they saw The African Queen then decided half way through modern audiences wouldn't like it so thought they'd turn it into Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest instead.
