Danny (Jason Statham) is a retired member of Britain’s Elite Special Air Service, and is a deadly assassin. He’s gotten out of the business. But when his friend and mentor Hunter is captured and held ransom, the pull Danny back into the business to kill 3 operatives and make it look like an accident. But there is a catch. Each has to confess to something they did before they are killed. If Danny fails, Hunter is dead, but can he trust the ones that are holding Hunter to be true to their word? And what’s worse, now Danny finds himself hunting the ones he used to work for making him a target for them as well. Someone is on to his every move and trying to take him out before he can finish the mission.

This is a wild, action, adventure film, and the kind Jason Statham is best at doing. But the psych in this film is that it’s a true story, based on a real life story of the man who accomplished these feats. The locations in this film are as good as any James Bond film, as Danny travels all over the world attempting to accomplish this mission. The action sequences are very well filmed, and put you right in the midst of the action. There are plenty of twists and turns that make the story interesting as well as exciting.

All in all, this was a surprisingly good film, and one of the best adventure films I’ve seen in a long while. The fact that it’s a true story, blew my mind as I came to realize that this stuff really happened. It’s all the more an amazing story. If you want a really good action adventure, this is a great one.

Jess (Melissa George) is a single Mom with a special ed kid who, while taking her son to school, strikes a gull with her car and starts off a weird strange day. As she arrives at the marina to spend the day on a large sailboat with a group of friends, Jess has a strong feeling that something is seriously wrong. She is proved right when suddenly the wind drops off completely and then some very strange weather arrives capsizing their little boat. They are rescued by a large ship, but Jess has the weird feeling of deja vu, which is further complicated when a mysterious person tries to kill them one by one.

Triangle is truly a mind freak! There is no way to describe anything more than I have without giving away the story, but trust me, this is a twilight zone triple episode on steroids. Little by little we find out what is going on, only to learn that we don’t know anything at all. Dreams meld with fantasy, and nothing is like it seems.

This is a very terrifying horror film, and a supernatural scifi thriller, murder mystery, and much more all rolled up into 90 minutes. It’s a truly scary film, but also a very cerebral thriller. It’s pretty easy to follow, but hard to put the pieces together until the very end. I could easily draw comparisons to other films, but I won’t as that would give away too much of the story. But let me say that this is one film that I sat on the edge of my chair throughout every moment, never even putting the movie on pause to run and take care of some “personal business”. Needless to say, my back teeth were floating by the end of the movie, but I didn’t want to stop it, even for a minute. I was completely held by this film.

I must say when I started watching it, I expected a silly little B movie. It wasn’t. This was top notch. Great acting by the whole cast, beautiful cinematography, and a gripping story start to finish. I highly recommend this 2009 horror gem for anyone who likes strong mystery, supernatural, or horror films. It’s a rollercoaster ride for sure.
