renegades is also another film back in the day that i used to love when i was younger; but now, my opinion on it has since changed a great deal .
what saves renegades is a surprisingly good car chase early on, as well as some other competent action scenes .

the stars are likeable, but don' t quite have the chemistry to carry the film. the supporting roles are mainly a ton of identikit cops, while a very young robert knepper plays a yuppie - esque villain. the film is oddly dark and humourless, which can' t have helped its fortunes in 1989 .
kiefer sutherland and lou diamond phillips are cool buddy in this action thriller film .

one of sutherland' s main attractions to the film was its genre .
there was a pacing to 'renegades' that i really wanted. i wanted to do a film that moved that quickly. there is an energy to an action film  an all - out action film. to be able to burn from the first scenes straight through. it' s just something i wanted to try, something i' ve always enjoyed watching .

review: renegades is an action film of such numbskull intensity that, while ever - inane, it is never boring. undercover cop buster mchenry (kiefer sutherland) becomes involved in a diamond heist that gets ferociously out of hand due to the sadism of its mastermind… (more )
only managing a paltry $ 9 million, renegades is inundated with problems throughout, lack of comedy and humour, which would have helped the film. it takes itself far too seriously, that the characters spend more time at each other' s throats and hating one another' s guts. the protagonists are so... dull, characterisation - wise. renegades is so generically ordinary, despite the native american theme. i' d thought that this would make a tremendous amount of difference to the film, but it doesn' t. far from it .
on the other hand, maybe all the complaining in the world won' t make a bit of difference the those who seek out this film. perhaps the audience wants mindless action that makes no sense whatsoever. if that' s the case ,
renegades
should be a hit .

this is but one example of the way cultural action and leadership can occur through film. my brilliant career is a woman' s story initially written by miles franklin, reinterpreted onscreen almost 80 years later, and understood as having significant influence. the meaning of the film and the intentions of the filmmaker were contested as part of a broader push for women' s work (both generally and specifically in film) to be publicly acknowledged. today much of the heat surrounding the reception of the film has dissipated, but it is, nonetheless, an important historical artistic production and both the story and its rendition in film remain relevant to present - day concerns .

phillips confirmed :
they brought me the (` renegades') script first, and i have a feeling it' s because they knew they' d have a harder time finding (my character) .
with a little more wit and a little less blood,'' renegades'' could have been'' lethal weapon jr.'' it is a fast, violent, implausible film about mismatched partners, and though it doesn' t exactly break the bounds of its trashy genre, it' s not at all bad for what it is .
maverick movie: already a successful actress and with five feature films under her director’s belt, lupino’s biggest leap came when she directed the hitch - hiker in 1953, credited as the first film noir by a woman. as the steering force behind the film, she elicited the genre’s typical irrational character traits in an all - male cast, dangerous personality elements usually confined to female roles in male - directed film noir .

other work: as the daughter of francis ford coppola and cousin of nicolas cage, sofia was born into a film career. she first appeared as the baby in her dad’s the godfather. like sevigny, sofia coppola is another with her own clothing line. in 1989 she collaborated with her father, writing for life without zoe. all of sofia’s first three own films— lick the star, the virgin suicides and lost in translation, brought attention to her as a filmmaker in her own right .
everything 48 hrs, tango and cash, red heat, lethal weapon does and does it better. meanwhile, renegades is poor in every single aspect as a buddy cop film. it' s a poor imitation that tries to pass itself off to be as good as its predecessors, yet it ultimately fails. the kiefer and lou diamond partnership is weak and not memorable enough .
we both endorsed jack and he didn' t let us down ,
phillips added .
it' s a very technically adept film .

it’s the summer of 1989 and the kids are preparing for vacation. derry high school has its share of jocks, bullies and nerds. bill falls into the latter category, as does beverly (sophia lillis), the red - haired, rebellious teenager who bears more than a passing resemblance to eighties star molly ringwald, and who is relentlessly teased by the girls in her class .

renegades
is one of the most shallow examples of movie making 101 that i can think of: take two hot young actors, make one a cop and force them to work together despite their differences to solve a pedestrian case of stolen diamonds. the cliches would be laughable if the film didn' t take them all so seriously, from the cop living in the shadow of his disgraced father to the dirty cops on the take this screenplay practically writes itself .
james jordan gives a memorably nasty, self - pitying and creepy performance as the security guard, pete. when he is on screen, the film develops an edge. for the rest of the time, the tone is more meditative than confrontational. wind river is still a very absorbing film to watch – a murder mystery with a strong lyrical and philosophical streak .
plenty of big dumb action to keep me entertained. some of the politics of the film however haven' t aged as well but it' s big dumb and pretty fun overall .
what makes this film so distinctive and so evocative is youthful innocence of the protagonists in the face of grinning evil. with grown ups, the rules of war will be very different .

the national council of women, an umbrella organisation for women' s groups of all kinds, was very active on the issue of film censorship, and, in 1928, ncw protested against the discrepancy in salary between the female and male censors for the new censorship board, which included one of their leaders, eleanor glencross (the female wage was £2 per day compared with the male wage of £3) (argus, 1 august 1928, 22). the film trade publication, everyones, did not welcome the presence of women in the arena of film regulation, mocking their' interference' and anticipating despair for the male censors:' god help the two men!' (everyones, 1 august 1928, 5 and 8 august 1928, 35). despite this and the lower women' s wage, these concerned women were successful in exerting public influence to shape the environment for film viewing as they saw fit, fostering organisations like the good film and radio vigilance society of new south wales too .

in its more baroque moments, the film resembles some of roger corman’s most lurid edgar allan poe adaptations. the scenes of characters coming together to ward off the darkness could come from some dennis wheatley story. at the same time, the film feels very american. we are in a world in which popularity is measured by how many friends sign your yearbook or the plaster on your arm if you break a bone .
sutherland explained :
lou and i had been talking about doing another film together where we' d have more interaction. lou was asked who he' d like to work with and he said me .
despite the fast - paced plot moves of a thriller, the film seldom loses the heat in both its rom - melo and thriller dishes, creating a
round
finish. many of the much - expected blockbusters that attempted to mixed genres have failed to deliver the director' s message, most notably with historical action flick
the fatal encounter (2014) ,
directed by lee jae - gyu and starring actor hyun bin. kwak creates a beautiful convergence of melo - thriller in
time renegades
while keeping his unique color and that of his actors .
the film is predictable, the action is sub - standard and typically found in many other straight to dvd action flicks and though it has its moments, it doesn' t justify the runtime of 1 hr, 45 mins .

it suffers from the pitfalls of many other 1980s action films, such as plot holes, silly twists and predictability of formula, but there is a very good action film here that' s more than a time waster for the so inclined .
sewers are used more inventively here than in any film arguably since harry lime was on the run like a rat at the end of the third man. diabolic forces lurk next to the discarded shoes, tampons and toys in the sewage system .
you' d think as a crime drama with an interesting premise (sort of), renegades would do the trick. in fact, it is the same old buddy cop formula that has been done and rehashed so many times over, as well as it is a sub genre that has been executed with far more panache, with better characters performances along with more exciting story - lines .
wind river is the third part in actor - turned - screenwriter taylor sheridan’s “modern frontier trilogy” (after sicario and hell and high water) and sheridan’s first film as director. it’s an american thriller that will certainly appeal to fans of scandinavian noir .

said
renegades
was the culmination of their desire to work together again after they became friends when they both worked on last year' s
young guns .
the movie plot is not as simple as a traditional time - slip movie in which the protagonist travels to the past or future and finds his way back to present. kwak himself has denied using the word
time - slip
to describe his work .
time chasing ,
or
breaking away from time ,
are more precise descriptions of
time renegades ,
as he puts it .
but rom - melo is one of the two main dishes of
time renegades ,
along with a crime thriller. the 57 - year - old south korean director blends the classical poetry of an all - korean rom - melo - - the unconditional communion between lovers, undisguised ecstasy in love, uncalculating sacrifice and separation, and miraculous discovery of never - ending passion - - with elements of the thriller .
in the film, characters dash out in attempts to change
bad
fates to
good
ones, sometimes resulting in success and sometimes in failure. some of the characters even try to kill themselves out of remorse or hope. but kwak' s message of life and fate points at the calm, pacifying circles of metempsychosis, or cycle of life. to kwak, even the most sorrowful ends and regretful pasts seem to dissolve into a peaceful slumber, slipping away through wounded hearts. such a philosophy works its way out in his earlier films, such as
the classic .
time renegades
is slated to launch in local cinemas on april 13 .
there are moments akin to exorcisms as some give vent to their fury as the group holds them in check. then, the aggression subsides. whether they’re ex - members of the ayran brotherhood, renegades from the la gangs, black, hispanic or white, the prisoners are all equally open and honest. after each day’s sessions, the civilians leave. we then see them being bussed back in the next day .
while filmmaking and activism associated with supporting filmmaking can readily be seen as a form of cultural leadership, women have also exerted public influence in the arena of film viewing. it is valuable to consider this as leadership, even when it works to restrict the screening of particular films. this is because it is part of the diversity of women' s political action directed towards the realm of film. in some cases, individual women were acting in an isolated manner, while, in other instances, they were part of a group or collective movement .
for all the prowling camera work, the film risks becoming claustrophobic. the entire feature plays out in the same set of rooms. some of the plotting is on the clunky side. (characters presumed dead miraculously manage to survive. snipers suddenly discover a humanitarian side. )
throughout the film, sheridan gives us little insights into the callous way that native americans are still treated in the us. there are no fbi statistics on the disappearance of native american women. their abductions or deaths don’t provoke much in the way of sympathy or intervention from the authorities .
maverick movie: in 1976, wertmüller recorded history with her film seven beauties (pasqualino sette bellezze), becoming the first woman nominated for an academy award for directing. the lives of low - income southern italians, a reoccurring theme in her work, show up in this international success .
maverick movie: for 1992’s the piano, campion became the second woman nominated for academy award for best director at the 1994 ceremony, where the film won best original screenplay. the protagonist is a mute pianist struggling with her position in an arranged marriage in mid - 19th century new zealand .
the film is intended as the first of two features based by on the stephen king novel. the characters here will come back again as adults and face off against the diabolic clown all over again. whether or not the sequel can recapture the intensity of the first part remains to be seen .
the film, though, is uplifting and very moving. it shows its subjects coming together to help one another. prisoners form very close bonds with each other and with the civilians. it becomes apparent that the civilians have just as many demons eating away at them as the men behind bars ,
there are a lot of exciting chases in
renegades
and some nice chemistry and comic dialogue between the stars, but the story just piles one ridiculous element upon another until audience - members are bound to be scratching their heads in disbelief. not the least of these is the mayhem in the streets and the innocent bystanders who must have been injured if not killed along the way, with seemingly no one in the city as outraged as phillips is about his brother .
it had great humour, great action, and a strong, believable relationship between the two main characters,  claims director jack sholder of the script of this buddy - cop - chase movie. sholders most distinguished earlier work, the hidden, was a triumph not of subtle character interplay or perceptive social comment but of crashed cars, machine - gun shoot - outs, energetic running - around and trashed public property. renegades, despite all that believable relationship jazz, is simply more of the same .
instead of a wallander - like detective, the film offers us a wildlife ranger called cory lambert (jeremy renner .) he’s an expert tracker and hunter who wears white to help him blend into the scenery. his job is to shoot wolves and mountain lions that may be threatening the livestock on the wind river reservation .
a little more context would surely have helped. we have no idea who is fighting whom or where oum’s husband has gone, or why all the other neighbours have fled. this means that insyriated lacks any local identity. it risks becoming just another generalised film about the pity and squalor of war as experienced on the domestic front .
from the earliest days of moving pictures, men have dominated the industry both on and off - screen, but even before women had the right to vote, a few pioneer ladies were already becoming industry leaders. because film is traditionally more closed to women, these daring ladies have had to be even more innovative to get their pictures noticed .
the film unfolds over one summer in derry, a small american town that is cursed. when kids do their research in the local library, they discover that people here have a nasty habit of dying and disappearing. every 27 years, a fiendish clown with teeth that the average great white shark would envy reappears to harvest some new flesh .
it would have been so easy to have made it such. the fact that it takes itself far too seriously and the fact that it decides to not have any comedy in it at all is absolutely bizarre. this was the perfect daft setup for a buddy cop film and yet it decides on something grittier and more serious and what the fuck for ?
the filmmakers aren’t just able to draw on stephen king’s back catalogue. they have a whole history of horror to borrow from. there are nods here in the direction of nic roeg’s don’t look now. (the missing kid here wears a yellow coat that is as easy to spot as the red macintosh worn by the drowning child in roeg’s film. )
although set in wyoming (supposedly in the spring), this is a story that unfolds in a very bleak and icy environment in which the wind chill factor is always well below zero. it’s very well written, albeit a little portentous and self - conscious. the film digs away at the hidden grief of its characters while every so often exploding into extreme violence .
there’s a double dose of nostalgia in the tremendous new stephen king adaptation. the film manages the feat of being very evocative and, on occasion, quite terrifying. it harks back to the great stephen king adaptations of the 1980s, most notably stand by me. those films in turn often demonstrated a yearning for lost childhoods and times past; the dear dead days beyond recall .
other work: after publishing a memoir of her stripping career, cody moved into screenwriting. following juno ’s success, cody has sold a number of other edgy scripts, from the horror film jennifer’s body (note that horror is a stereotype - defying genre for a woman to write) to the dark comedy young adult. not one to rest on her laurels, cody now has directing ambitions .
kiefer sutherland is the renegade cop. lou diamond phillips is the renegade native - american fella. both, have one goal: to takedown a ruthless baddie. they have different reasons, but both want justice. they play by different rules, don' t really get along, come from two completely different cultures, and like to crack jokes on each other. however, when it gets heated, will they put the their differences aside, to save the fuckin' day? it' s renegades, the
buddy flick
directed by the same guy who brought us freddy' s revenge. what could go wrong ?
maverick movie: for her direction of the war drama the hurt locker (2010), bigelow became the first woman to win the academy award for best director. not only did she foray into a genre considered particularly masculine, there she found success. with contemporary relevance as a film about the iraq war, the hurt locker earned bigelow a spot on time’s list of the 100 most influential people of the year in 2010 .
maverick movie: for 2003’s lost in translation, which won the oscar for best original screenplay, coppola became only the third woman to be nominated for the best director award—stepping far out from her father’s shadow. the film was also nominated for best picture, and her best director nomination was the first for an american woman. with her screenplay win she extended her family’s oscar legacy, making the coppolas the second clan to win for three generations .
i use this blog to talk about things that i want to get off my chest and things that interest me. as well as cultural stuff, tv show & movie reviews, favourite lists and likes. since 2016, i have been focusing a lot on film reviews. with a prime emphasis on the 1980s and 1990s, though i occasionally dip my toes in post - 2000s and 1970s films - if they are interesting or good, that is .
this means the tempo is on the languid side. lambert likes to sit and think. he does drive his snow bike at speeds of 80 mph or more but that doesn’t mean he is ever in a hurry. like hawkeye in last of the mohicans, he relies on stealth, not speed. the elegiac music from nick cave and warren ellis adds to the film’s dreamy, slow motion quality, and to the feeling of sadness and loss with which the story is imbued .
i am not the greatest fan of 80s buddy movies but it’s pretty difficult not to like a film whose future buddies are young kiefer sutherland (in his pre - “torture is awesome” phase) and lou diamond phillips (in his pre - “sheriff roles only” phase). together, in good 80s action movies tradition, they fight slightly more crime than they commit themselves, crash cars, smash a large amount of things, and hurt or kill a lot of people in hilarious and improbable ways .
early in the film sutherland is chasing the bad guys through the city when they pause in a museum just long enough to steal a sacred lance and kill phillips' brother, after about two dozen other people have bitten the dust. naturally, this prompts phillips, a low - key lakota sioux indian who thinks before he acts, to seek revenge. so he latches onto a reluctant sutherland, making for an uneasy pair of odd - couple detectives on the run from both crooks and cops as they track down the killers .
for once, the captain character in this sort of film (given by cop specialist bill smitrovich) does have an actual role to play in the plot apart from reaming out the insane, violent cop working for him, and even buster’s absurd crusade against crooked cops has a reason to it. it’s nothing original, mind you, but i do think including some bits and pieces that actually make a degree of sense and hint at the real world in a plot only helps to make the general outrageousness of your typical action movies that decisive bit more interesting. characters for their part are seldom
but after seeing an early version of the film, phillips was a bit surprised by the violence .
i saw a rough cut and i think we dwell on the violence a little bit. i was a little surprised. you never know if they' re shooting slow - mo (slow - motion), and it' s operatic to a certain extent. i don' t think it' s as violent as 'the untouchables' or, say, 'robocop,' or something like that. and that' s not an excuse. i didn' t think we needed as much of it .
on the flight, the gang and the idiot cop stumble into an exhibition where marino finds the time and inclination to grab the holy lance of the lakota, and shoot one of the lakota men watching over it. that man’s brother, hank storm (lou diamond phillips), promises to get back the lance and take revenge for his brother. a fine opportunity to start on this work opens up to hank when his mystical indian tracking powers (seriously, that’s how the film plays it and will continue to play it) lead him to buster, who is in rather bad shape after moreno ended their short - lived partnership by shooting him .
one significant arena in which women acted publicly to express concern about the types of films made and screened in australia was the 1927 royal commission on the moving picture industry. of the 253 witnesses who gave evidence, 41 were women, most of whom were, using the commissioners' phrase,' keen observers of the effect of films upon the community' (report of the royal commission on the moving picture industry in australia, 2). these' keen observing' women, most representing women' s organisations, unanimously supported film censorship and detailed specific roles that women should play in enforcing it. mrs edith waterworth, a member of the state film censorship board in hobart, argued at the royal commission that women, as citizens and mothers, have two claims to public representation while men only have one. as mothers, she asserted, they' necessarily have to give far more careful thought to the rearing of children than is given by a father' (royal commission on the moving picture industry in australia, minutes of evidence, par. 16905, 588). despite women' s dual claim to representation, waterworth' s focus was almost exclusively on women' s civic maternalism (as defined by warne, among others). this is replicated in the evidence of other women too .
director jack sholder’s just the right kind of guy at the right kind of place here, shooting the insipid, the hilarious and the exciting all in the straightforward and unpretentious manner this kind of thing demands, until nothing made of glass isn’t broken. it’s such a bunch of merry carnage (not terribly brutal as these films go) broken up by semi - embarrassing indian (that’s the word the film prefers to use, even though it has the perfectly good word “lakota” right there in the script; buster of course is racist dickhead enough to always call hank “chief”) mysticism, and general nonsense that it’s easy to miss that the script actually has some perfectly neat ideas beside the nonsense .
the two heroes are as suspicious of each other as they are wary of the villains, of course. their attempts to outwit each other are as blatant and obvious as the stereotypes the film relies on. the criminal boss is named marino, and though he looks like an ivy league wasp, he has meetings in an italian restaurant where the waiters pack guns. mr. sutherland' s buster mchenry is the honest - cop kid of a bad - cop father. and mr. phillips plays the son of a medicine man whose chants are able to restore mr. sutherland' s health after he is shot. the strong, smart indians are positive stereotypes, but they' re stereotypes nonetheless .
in addition to that outlined above, i also occasionally work as a forensic musicologist / expert witness on a consultancy basis. recent activity includes work for warner chappell and universal music on copyright infringement cases (including a major west end show and a number of international recording artist recordings). i have also recently acted as a consultant for both edexel and the arts council of wales on ways in which the a level school music curriculum can resonate more closely with the university sector. regarding my work on frank zappa, i acted as an advisor on a recent edition of the american tv series history detectives, when the programme investigated the authenticity of one of frank zappa’s paintings. i also regularly undertake peer reviews for research projects and journals, with recent activities including reviews for the journal of adaptation in film and performance, the brock review, the economic and social research council and the higher education academy .

this movie has a good main cast, the story is good, and it has a lot of good action scenes. why didn' t i rate it higher? mostly because it' s a cheesy, forgettable buddy cop movie that jumped off of the lethal weapon wagon. it' s just pretty good, it could have been better .
wow did kiefer look like a 70' s porn star with that mustache. my goodness. typical buddy cop flick of two guys from different worlds coming together against a common enemy. some rather funny moments and there is good chemistry between the two but it' s doesn' t do anything overly special to stand out .

buster mchenry works as an undercover agent for the local police. currently he investigates on police corruption and is in big trouble. his task makes him break the law, he participates in a robbery. things really screw up as not only two men are shot, but also an ancient indian spear is stolen and buster is wounded. hank storm, a young indian, is now after the spear and buster is after his criminal' comrades'. both of them are outsiders in their way, but now they have the same target .
when hank enters the subway car on the platform at the station it is one car but when it exits the tunnel it becomes another subway car .

not that great. a lot of pointless killing. i never did figure out what reason that girl had for being in the movie. i guess the people that made the movie didn' t either because they killed her off - and she was actually incredibly stupid - just ran out in the middle of a gun battle. ok for free on tv on a saturday afternoon, but not worth a penny plus shipping. and all the indian spirituality stuff was so predictable. and so was the corrupt cop stuff. and then a guy sets fire to his own super fancy barn full of horses. really? that' s not going to bring in the cops for miles around? i' m being generous with the 3 stars .
clean but full of action and violence [ layed to human nature ] - - no overly done female traipsing through to spoil the action. excellent macho performance by kieffer sutherland and lou diamond phillips [ as should be expected ]. story line still had enough punch to make it interesting. hate to say it, a great acting job by the top nasty - couldn' t stand the guy. would have liked a commentary about the actors and the work they put into their roles. i would definitely recommend this movie and will certainly watch it over again .
well done movie and has a lot of action and comedy in some parts .
