An exotic blend of action, horror, and superhero mythology, the story seizes the audience by the throat and doesn’t let go until the final hand is dealt, until the final card is turned over — and it’s winner take all. Chapter 1 opens up in an emergency room. Orderlies wheel a bloodied patient through double doors into the trauma unit. Frenzied conversations by the doctors and nurses are muted as though they’re taking place under water. This effect reminds anyone who has been through any kind of serious trauma of the disassociation that occurs while the body and mind try to come to grips with what has happened. The basso undercurrent walloping through the subwoofer is as regular as a metronome, a heartbeat ...

However, when the names are John Ford and Mervyn Leroy and the film in question is ‘Mister Roberts,’ it’s a whole different story.

Jackson and Kevin Spacey, both of whom specialize in complex, manipulative characters, star together in something called 'The Negotiator,' it seems reasonable to expect that we're going to see something with intricate plotting, smart dialogue and some major plot surprises. What we get instead is a decent but largely routine action thriller that is better than it should be thanks to the efforts of the aforementioned leads and a strong supporting cast.

By now, audiences ought to know what to expect of a 'Lethal Weapon' film: spectacular explosions, car chases, lots of jokes, male bonding between Mel Gibson's reckless widowed LAPD cop Martin Riggs and Danny Glover's cautious family-man LAPD cop Roger Murtaugh and yet more explosions. Installment # 4 delivers on all fronts.

Home Video MPAA rating: G starring: Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison, Stanley Holloway, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Gladys Cooper, Jeremy Brett, Theodore Bikel, Mona Washbourne. release year: 1964 film rating: Three and a half stars reviewed by: Bill Warren "My Fair Lady" is the best American musical play ever written. The "book," by Alan Jay Lerner from Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion," is witty, satirical and warm; the songs, by Lerner and Frederick Lowe, are brilliant and some have become imperishable classics. The ideally-cast Rex Harrison made theatrical history and carved out his own entry in the list of immortal theatrical performances. It ran for years, and touring companies revived it again and again. It's here to stay.
