Oliver Stone shelved his social conscience while making this vicious nest-of-vipers noir. Sean Penn stars as Bobby Cooper, a gambler on the run who is forced to lay up in a desolate Arizona whistlestop with car trouble. Desperate and broke, he receives an offer from the middle-aged Jake McKenna (Nick Nolte) to kill his beautiful young wife, Grace (Jennifer Lopez). Initially reluctant, he's finally forced to contemplate the deal. But the fun doesn't really begin until Grace hires Bobby to kill Jake. The film is based on the modern noir novel STRAY DOGS by John Ridley.

IRON MONKEY Synopsis: Iron Monkey is the nickname of a young gambler who becomes the sole survivor of a Manchurian massacre.  After burying his family, a fate-filled road leads Iron Monkey to the confines of Shaolin Temple.  Full of vengeance, the young victim of circumstance endures humiliation from his classmates and rigorous training from the infamous Bitter Monk. All hardship is painfully accepted, to finally explode into a merciless confrontation with the chief of the Manchus--each and every finger a blade of fury, making all counter-attacks twice as deadly.  With great costumes, an excellent cast, and the raw, youthful talent of Chen Kwan Tai, this is an outstanding example of the genre.   Starring: Chen Kwan Tai   Category: Martial Art    Age Restriction: 13 V

ODDS AND EVENS Synopsis: Along with "Crime Busters" and "Go For It", this is one of the "musts" for Bud Spencer and Terence Hill fans. Because the law has been unable to rid Miami of the gamblers and book-makers infesting the city under the leadership of dodgy Parapolis the Greek. The man in charge, Admiral O'Connor, declares war using Lieutenant Johnny (oh so honest) Firpo (Terence Hill), as his major weapon. Gifted both physically and mentally, Johnny has a half-brother, Charlie (Bud Spencer), formerly a brawny gambler working for Parapolis and now a truck driver. We also meet Hill and Spencer's "father" and get a hint of how Hill got so conniving. Their papa Mike, a one-time card sharp, had abandoned both boys and their mothers but not before he also taught Charlie the tricks of his trade.  Time and luck run out hilariously whilst our two super-law enforcers put an end to the Mob-run gambling ring in their unusually efficient hit-em up style.  You'll shed tears of laughter whilst watching great comedy moments featuring tons of funny slapstick set-ups and fights in kookey settings, (including Hill and Spencer fighting each other!), and a drunken Spencer COMPLETELY destroying a bar!  And wait till you see Bud Spencer dressed up as a baby in a "moomoo" - you'll scream with delight!!  A must for all the family!This is one of Spencer/Hill's best films.    Starring: Bud Spencer Terence Hill   Category: Action, Comedy    Age Restriction: PG V
