Commando
: :A massively underrated action thriller that kept Arnold Schwarzenegger occupied between mid-'80s blockbusters, Commando may be one of the last shoot-out films ever to have real characters in it. Not, of course, that they're anything other than stereotypes, but they're painted with such detailed, positive strokes that it's impossible not to relate to them. Arnie plays a retired military special-ops officer whose daughter (played with an expert balance of cute/feisty by Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped by the baddest of bad guys, who'll only hand her back as and when he's assassinated ...

Cafe Society (1995)
: :This 1995 curiosity by Raymond DeFelitta suffers from miscasting and some grating ideas about shooting and editing sex scenes for the ultimate visual dissonance. But it is also an insightful period piece that is set in the 1950s and is concerned with official efforts to secure trophy arrests and trump up charges for maximum career gain. A web is spun once an undercover cop (Peter Gallagher) steps into a Manhattan nightclub and sets his sights on a gossipmonger and part-time pimp (John Spencer), as well as the latter's ne'er-do-well playboy nephew ...

Last Man Standing
: :New in the original unopened shrink wrap. :Best known for making movies about men and violence, director Walter Hill scored a misfire with this ambitious but ultimately dreary remake of Akira Kurosawa's samurai classic Yojimbo. The story's essentially the same but the setting has been switched to a dusty, almost ghostly Texas town in the 1930s, where two rival Chicago gangs are locked in an uneasy truce. Bruce Willis plays the lone drifter who allies himself with both gangs to his own advantage, working both sides against each other according ...
