I have watched the fifth element a few times now and it's always been a favourite of mine, in no small part because Bruce Willis is in it and he's very good value in my opinion. The movie is good as it features alot of action and some comedy and romance so has a nice balance to it. When the movie starts it is in the past in ...  Read the complete review

This film was a big hit at the box office and ...  Read the complete review

We begin with Bruce Willis as an ex -military turned cab driver in the future with evil on the way to destroy earth. I must say Bruce is an excellent actor and without him I think the movie would have flopped. The plot is a little weak and a lot of the details in the movie take a lot away from the watching experience. As a Bruce ...  Read the complete review

A film that contains possibly the most beautiful, yet admittedly strange, female lead I have seen in such a long time - probably down to the fact that its set in the future; the 23rd century to be precise. Bruce Willis stars as Korben Dallas, a taxi driver, down on his luck with few endearing qualities. We soon learn however that ...  Read the complete review
