Co-written by Blum and Mostow and to be directed bu Mostow, Night of the Assassins is the true story of a low-level African American soldier (Jerome) who helped thwart a Nazi plot to kill the leaders of the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union during a top secret conference in Tehran in 1943.

After the Nazis learned about the secret meeting, they hatched a plan — code name Operation Long Jump — to assassinate the three Allied leaders, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin, with a hand-picked team of Nazi commandos parachuted into Iran.

Jerome’s character, named Eddie Booker in the TV series, is based on a real person who was the only U.S. man on the ground when Mike Reilly, the head of FDR’s Secret Service detail, arrived, and he worked closely with Reilly on thwarting the assassination attempt.

Remembering Earl Boen, Adam Rich and Owen Roizman

This weekend we lost three entertainers. Here is my combined remembrance:

Remembering Earl Boen 1941-2022

Actor Earl Boen has died at 81. He is most known for playing Dr. Silberman in The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. He was so good as the antagonist who doesn’t believe what Sarah Connor is saying happened.

Linda Hamilton and Boen in Terminator 2

In addition to the Terminator movies, he appeared in countless movies, TV shows and voiceover work, notably “The Border Song” episodes of ALF, “The Pony Remark” episode of Seinfeld, and in Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult.

Remembering Adam Rich 1968-2023

Actor Adam Rich has died at 54. He was most famous for playing Nicholas on Eight Is Enough (ABC-TV 1977-1981). That was a series I got into when it was in syndication in the 80s. I was actually a fan of the firefighter series Code Red (ABC-TV 1981-1982). He was also the voice of Presto on Dungeons & Dragons (CBS 1983-1985), a Sat. morning cartoon I loved as a kid.

Remembering Owen Roizman 1936-2023

Cinematographer Owen Roizman has died at 86. He was nominated for 5 Best Cinematography Oscars and won an Honorary Oscar in 2018. He is especially noteworthy for the work he did with William Friedkin (The French Connection and The Exorcist), Sydney Pollack (Three Days of the Condor, Absence of Malice, and Tootsie) and Lawrence Kasdan (I Love You to Death). That is quite a group of directors to have made several films with. Other great films he was the DP on include Play It Again, Sam, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, and he was the DP on Vision Quest, as well as Madonna’s music videos from the soundtrack for “Crazy for You” and “Gambler”. So many memorable images he photographed: the NYC car chase in French Connection, the exorcism scene in The Exorcist, any of the awesome paranoid moments in Three Day of the Condor, and the urgency and ticking clock of the subway hostages in Pelham One Two Three.

Far From Home

Breakdown (1997) by Jonathan Mostow Do you sometimes just randomly come across a movie you’ve totally forgotten existed, like, you don’t really recall what it was about just that you watched it at some point? Such a movie is Breakdown for me. Now, I was a Kurt Russell fan at some point and I watched a lot of his movies. He’s a fine actor. But this film I completely blanked on, so, of course, it…

"Desaparecida sin rastro"

Amazon Prime ha estrenado Desaparecida sin rastro (Last Seen Alive) producción original de la plataforma , dirigida por un tal Brian Goodman y protagonizada por Gerard Butler y Jaimie Alexander. Pese al empeño del actor en seguir la estela de Liam Neeson como héroe de acción de serie B, Gerard Butler es el principal y casí único aliciente para ver la película.

El argumento no es lo que se dice original. Will Spann (Gerard Butler) y su mujer Lisa ( Jaimie Alexander) son una pareja en crisis, a punto de separarse. De camino a casa de sus padres, Lisa desaparece en una gasolinera y Will emprenderá una cruzada para encontrarla. Por el camino (como no) se convertirá en el principal sospechoso de la desaparición de su mujer a ojos del inspector del caso, el detective Patterson (Russell Hornsby).

Si llegados a este punto tenéis una sensación de deja vú quedaos tranquilos, a todos nos pasa lo mismo. La primera película que me vino a la cabeza viendo "Desaparecida sin rastro" fue "Breakdown", aquella cinta dirigida por Jonathan Mostow en la que Kurt Russel perdía a su mujer y nadie le creía. Y de ahí a todo un género, el de mujeres desaparecidas, con la subvariante “en la gasolinera o yendo a por gasolina”.

Si, no han sido muy originales en cuanto a la historia, historia que tarda un rato en arrancar. La película apenas dura una hora y media (lo que es un punto a su favor) y el pobre Will se tirá los primeros veinte minutos dando vueltas por la gasolinera, de ahí a casa de sus suegros y vuelta a la gasolinera. Al final, cuando todo se descubre, resulta que la trama es más simple que el mecanismo de un chupete pero tampoco la revelaremos aquí.

Por desgracia y a pesar de sus esfuerzos por transmitir angustia y sufrimiento, "Desaparecida sin rastro" no es la película de Gerard Butler que veremos una y otra vez. La cinta es entretenida pero su trama resulta sencilla, ya la hemos visto otras veces, la dirección y la producción parecen de telefilm de sábado por la tarde y el resultado final es para olvidar. 

Entretenida 👍

Breakdown (Jonathan Mostow, 1997)

by Douglas Buck April 10, 2019

On a cross-country joy ride of ‘new beginnings’, Jeff (Kurt Russell) finds himself flung into a nightmarish search for his kidnapped wife Amy (Kathleen Quinlan), as part of a shakedown scheme led by the initially helpful trucker Red (J.T. Walsh), who took her after their car broke down at the side of the road.

With our everyman hero fighting to get back his attractive wife, battling against those tough redneck hold-outs against civilized society (with them brooding about in their massively imposing and seemingly invulnerable trailer trucks, while Jeff has his cute new Jeep, so fragile that pulling out a few mamby-pamby colored wires from its undercarriage puts it out of commission) while ineffectually trying to navigate the resentments and disrespect towards city folk from the unhelpful community (who likely feel ignored themselves), Breakdown serves as a poster child for the road suspense thriller as terror tale of modern masculinity under attack (with the title so nicely representing not just the obvious plight of our couple’s car, but the underlying threat felt by polite society).

Deep as I was burrowing into the works of the somber existential cinematic masters like Ingmar Bergman and Andrei Tarkovsky, a commercial action thriller such as Breakdown would not have been on my radar when it came out (and if it was, it would likely have been summarily dismissed) but, hey, while I might have been foolish to have ignored it, hey, at least it’s allowing me the opportunity to experience all of its well-crafted and excitingly executed pleasures now, for the first time.

I know little about director Mostow, other than he seems like kind of a journeyman action director (I did find his third Terminator a competent entry in the series), but, man, does he carefully and effectively cultivate the growing paranoid perspective of Russell’s Jeff, as he falls into a terrifying nightmare in which he is an outsider in a back-to-basics world where the strong and barbaric survive and it isn’t even sure the cops can be trusted.

Walsh, as sociopathic ring-leader Red, is maximum deadpan sleaze extraordinaire, delivering deliciously deplorable lines with great understated relish (I know, it sounds like an oxymoron, but with Walsh, it somehow isn’t… at all…), such as, in incitingly describing the disappeared Amy to the frantic Jeff, to prove that he has her, “About 5’5”, 115 pounds, three or four of that just pure tit.”

Major props also to Russell, an actor capable of anti-hero Snake Plissken testosterone-bursting levels, for reigning in his ego and allowing his physical virility to be so downplayed (through his performance and the slightly frumpy clothes they put him in) – until the concluding scenes, of course, when the masculine status quo fears are assuaged, with our hero re-claiming the primal power that the modern world has worked to hollow out of him (in a mind-bendingly awesome scene that ends with Jeff literally pulverizing Red with as giant, and symbolically appropriate, a phallus as can be imagined).

There’s a modern cinematic savvy to the film, speaking to an understanding of cinematic tradition (and love) for genre; it’s a little bit Texas Chainsaw Massacre (with Amy popping out of a cold storage fridge in a farmhouse basement and a family ready to kill for daddy) and a lot part Duel (no explanation really needed there), amalgamated into one deliciously tense ride.

It’s exciting filmmaking, riding on simple and direct fears (of those with the extra cash to go to the movies, that is), with an adrenaline-rush of a cliff-hanger ending that rivals the cinematically suspenseful best of Steven Spielberg (i.e., the cinematically suspenseful best).

The print was gorgeous (as was the one for the previous entry in this Jammin’ Trucker Anthology series I saw, Every Which Way But Loose) and the big screen was the perfect place to see the larger-than-life action unfold. Definitely gonna take another gander on my projector system at home (especially as I plan on moving soon and not sure I’ll get to see it this large at home again in the near future).

Si and Ryan are doomed to a fate they can't escape, It's time for more robots from the future. Kind of dumb robots, but robots nonetheless. It's the first post-Cameron sequel and maybe it cooked too long or something. But it has its good spots! But. Anyway.
