Search: Starring Michael Biehn

The tension is never loosened, the action seldom rests and the dialogue sounds as sharp and convincing as the actors who speak it.

To think that Ridley Scott provoked so much tension and dread from just one is strange. When they are all over you, it makes for a superior sequel.

The sheer unexplained terror of the Aliens is more than enough to make them watchable.

The first half is genuinely nasty, the second degenerates into bloody lunacy.

The film's strongest suit is, somewhat surprisingly, its rich vein of gallows humour.

Glorious, a hilariously stupid zombie fest that spoofs and honours grindhouse so much better than the tenuously related Death Proof.

I hugely enjoyed Prey, was amused by Badlands, but I spent almost all of Killer Of Killers grinning so widely I nearly grew mandibles.

The acting is competent all round, though it really doesn’t need to be.

There are so many distractions and superfluous plot points that the only way Bay can compensate is to turn every scene into an MTV blur.

James Cameron's masterpiece. A lean, brooding, violent and unforgettable experience from a director hungry for success.

It's a film with significant problems but as a first time effort it doesn't do too badly, and there are moments when it shines.
