24. Contraband

"Bored yet? Keeping watching and you will be."

 I like to feel that I watched this film so you, fair reader, didn't have to. 'Contrabland' would be more apt.

This is a Mark Wahlberg approved remake of an Icelandic thriller Reykjavik-Rotterdam.

I cannot understand for the life of me why anyone would want to re-make this film if the original is anything like this generic, dull, piece of shit.

22. Rampart

Or as I like to call it: 'High contrast thuggery with Woody Harrelson.'

Rampart is a funny beast. Our protagonist is an unlikeable arse who is caught in political shit storm that makes him the focus of internal affairs although he is far from the biggest problem within the LAPD. Couple this with his unusual home life and his unerring knack of sleeping with every woman he claps eyes on and you think you'll be in for an enjoyable genre flick.

Well it kind of is, but mostly it isn't and it left me feeling a let down by the end of it all.
