As a huge fan of action films I'm always intrigued by a film which appears like it's going to bring something new to the genre.

Film Trivia Snippets - Killer Joe was originally created by Tracy Letts for the stage and 20 years previously to the film, Gina Gershon was offered the role of Sharla in the play; the same character she plays in the film.

Instead the film concentrates a great deal of time on the fish out of water/culture shock experience that Depp's vampire is going through, and to be fair to the film it does get decent mileage out of it.

Conclusion - Other than the first Lord of the Rings film I don't think I've ever felt such wonder at a film as I did with Jurassic Park.

So we know that Stallone both wrote and acted in the film, but perhaps that wasn't all because Cobra is one of these films that joins the likes of Poltergeist, Return of the Jedi and Tombstone in that rumours persist about who really directed the film.

Their script helps to ensure that the film avoids being as depressing as you may expect; that's because the film is not so much about grief because it unfolds with the characters in a place of acceptance.

He does not feature in the final film however, though it's unclear if he filmed his scenes and they just got left on the cutting room floor or not.

The scenes that feature the actual planning of the film also have a great spark to them as we see Thompson clash with the film's writing team, portrayed spiritedly by Jason Schwartzman, B.J.

On the one hand you can enjoy this film on the level that you can enjoy just about every Walter Hill film; as a purely kick-ass action film.

Al Pacino began filming with long hair and a thick beard and then for each individual scene his hair and beard were trimmed back bit by but until he was short-haired and clean shaven for the film's opening scenes.
