Point of No Return
In a grim future America, Maggie (Bridget Fonda), a beautiful young street punk, is about to be executed for killing a cop during a robbery, and is given the choice between death or becoming a government assassin. She accepts the latter and is trained in all manner of martial (and feminine) arts. She ably carries out her deadly assignments, and is groomed to become a powerful killer. Maggie is given a new identity, becomes the seductive Claudia, and is sent to Venice, California, where she begins her new life. But the training takes only too well: the formerly amoral murderess proceeds to fall in love with a photographer (Dermot Mulroney) and develop a conscience. Now she wants out, but the government isn't about to let her go without a fight. Director John Badham's remake of French director Luc Besson's LA FEMME NIKITA is a stylish and thrilling adaptation, featuring a solid performance from Bridget Fonda.

It's good to watch...
It's romantically attached to the surreal truth of just might what happen if you get caught up in the same situations as the lady in this film...

There's only one Michael Caine

Movie fans have slammed Sly Stallone's attempt to put his own spin on Get Carter. A poll by DVD rental firm selectscreen.co.uk found that the 2000 reworking of the 1970s classic was the worst remake of all time. Stallone's ill-fated project was closely followed by the 1998 remake of Psycho and this summer's blockbuster, Thunderbirds. Alfie, another Caine classic, came in at number six. British actor Jude Law takes the lead in the 21st century version, which is at cinemas now. "It proves... Read more
