Just bought the double film boxset (a glaring omission from the collection) and was going to do the same thing next weekend when ive got a few days off work and can relax with a couple of cold ones.

Train scene is quality, really like Bill Paxtons character here as he shows he not just a cocky loud mouth.

Cold Prey. Pretty average though enjoyable killer thriller. Ashe.

Five Minutes Of Heaven (2009)



Set in Northern Ireland, the film is about how violence shatters lives, and whether 'revenge' can always find its way to cover up the loss & grief or how hate and regret can meet and be resolved. The story starts with Joe Griffen's meeting with Alistair Little through a TV docu program. 25 years ago, Little (Liam Neeson) murdered Griffen's brother for nothing more than being Catholic...he watched his brother murdered, and later blamed by his own mother for doing nothing to stop it (though he was only nine). Now he is eager to take his revenge as soon as he come face to face...he wants to have his five minutes of heaven.


Compelling movie, recommended.

I definitely agree. I had a really great time with this one.

7.5/10
Now watch Days of Wine and Roses, with Jack Lemmon. Edwards took the disturbing subject matter of Wilder's film and one-up'd it. Phenomenal performances and a very heavy story. It's a must-see, especially after The Lost Weekend.

Sure thing, I'll track it down...

Sounds pretty good, I'm always up for seeing another revenge flick.

not entirely a revenge flick rather should say an intense drama but definitely worth a watch indeed.
