This is How Movies Should Be Made
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
View MoreAs somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
View MoreThe two Family of Cops Canadian co-produced TV films I,ve seen so far are serviceable vehicles for the aging Charles Bronson and both make interesting use of a number of Milwaukee settings,even though in some cases the locations were faked in several nearby Ontario cities.The sequel places an interesting stress on religion,as it involves the murder of a Catholic priest in a Easten European community,,and the main suspicion falling on a group of emigre Russian Jewish thugs.And it turns out, I don,t recall much being said about this in the first entry,that police inspector Bronson,s large family is Jewish.After the crime is finally solved,there is a charming sequence of the family gathered,complete with skullcaps,candles,chicken and challah,for a Shabbas meal.
View MoreBREACH OF FAITH, the second in the FAMILY OF COPS trilogy, is a terrible film. The plot is the same old nonsense about the Russian mafia and it exudes a terrible TV movie atmosphere where everything is played safe and there are no surprises around any of the corners.Even worse, I was watching this for Charles Bronson alone - what other reason is there? - and he's given even less to do than in the first movie. He takes a back seat to the members of his other family, who aren't interesting in the least, and in his few scenes he seems elderly, doddering across the screen, mumbling his barely coherent lines. You feel sorry for him, remembering what once was.Even a briefly rousing climax can't lift what's come before, and BREACH OF FAITH is utterly without merit. I can't say I'm looking forward to the final part of the trilogy...
View MoreThis is just as good as the 1st, a very solid sequel indeed! with a good story and excellent performances. All the characters are cool, and also very likable, plus Charles Bronson is simply amazing in this!.I taped the 1st Family Of Cops a while back, and enjoyed it, so I decided to tape this one as well, and I must say it's every bit as solid as the 1st, plus the finale is just great. It has a few very powerful moments, and while Bronson might be showing his age just a little bit here, he is every bit as effective as he was during the prime of his career! plus there are plenty of surprising moments throughout. Joe Penny is an improvement over Daniel Baldwin even though he was good as well, and all of the Russain guys were just great, plus Charles Bronson can still fight with the best of him even at his age at that time!, as that is very impressive in my opinion. It surprised me when Jackie decided to join the Police Academy, and I thought what happened to that 12 year old was really sad, plus the ending was good. This is just as good as the 1st, a very solid sequel indeed! with a good story and excellent performances, I highly recommend this one!. The Direction is very good!. David Greene does very good! job here with good camera work, solid angles and keeping the film at a fast pace. The Acting is excellent!. Charles Bronson is amazing as always and is amazing here, he is intense, gives one of his best performances, can still fight with the best of them, was very likable, and was an emotional mess at times, that's what I liked about him so much in the 1st Family Of Cops!, he was amazing. (Bronson Rules!!!!!). Joe Penny is excellent here , and is an improvement over Dainel Baldwin (even though he was good), he was just so intense, and looked like a great leading man, as I felt he had potential for that!. Angela Featherstone is great as Jackie once again, even though she didn't have as much to do. The Russian villains were all great and quite menacing. Barbara Williams is very good as Kate once again I liked her. Sebastian Spence is very good As Eddie once again I quite liked him too. Diane Ladd is solid here in her role and her presence was very appreciated. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall I highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5
View MoreI had to look it up....he was 76 when this flick was made. Maybe that explains why it never seems to really get going. Even so, Bronson makes it a 7 and worth watching.
