Mr Majestyk - Melons is Melons

Mr Majestyk is one of three things :-

Either it's a slow burning action movie with the good guy being pushed till he breaks. an age old story but this is from the 70's

Or, the blueprint for every single A-Team episode that was ever made. We're talking the set up, the bad guys, the woman, the driving. Everything

Or, it's an advert for the strength, speed and agility of the Ford Pick-up truck. Apparently it was, the following year.

It's still a great watch with the dependable Mr Bronson though, and I would recommend you get a viewing in before the inevitable Statham remake which will probably end up a combination of this and First Blood. Hmm, that sounds quite good "'Why you keep pushing my fackin' melons you slag!"

Blitz - Nought as Queer as folk

Dirty looking, stylised, violent, sweary London crime thriller that could have been great if hadn't had tried too hard.  Bullshit action can twist on a whim, characterisation and story can't.  Most of the good work is pissed up against the wall with the weak ending regardless.

It's like they got bored. One for fans of 'The Stath' or the genre only.

Ironclad - Look to my coming at the first light of the fifth day

The Battle for Helm's Deep condensed into a much bloodier and gorier rated flick with a healthier bum time of only two hours and with no silly talking trees breaking up the action. The limb and body count for this movie is seriously high for something that pretends it's factual. It get's proper Medieval on your ass.

Great stuff, but probably wouldn't watch again.
