- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsAustin StokerDarwin JostonLaurie ZimmerA Highway Patrol Officer, two criminals and a station secretary defend a defunct Los Angeles precinct office against a siege by a bloodthirsty street gang.A great mashup of Rio Bravo and Night of the living Dead, Carpenter successfully inserts racial and sexual politics into the 'moral code' that permeates this modern western. When an isolated precinct is under attack by a gang bent on revenge, those within its confines—the law, criminals and civilians alike—must put aside their differences to survive. What follows is at once an interesting, exciting, and, at times, comical film (possibly Carpenters best).

- DirectorMike HodgesStarsClive OwenMalcolm McDowellJonathan Rhys MeyersA former gangster reenters the criminal underworld after his brother suspiciously commits suicide.While bearing many similarities to Hodges own Get Carter, Sleep is in many ways its own animal, not having the stunning brutality that marked the revenge of Carter but is more character study of a former crime boss in London’s criminal underworld who attempts, but fails, to escape himself.
Three years after leaving London due to a self-imposed exile to cope with past decisions and "a life wasted", Will has a vision of his younger brother Davey—a low-level London drug dealer. Sensing something amiss, Will tries in vain to contact Davey before finally going back to London only to find that Davey has committed suicide. Unable to understand Davey’s motivation for ending his life, Will begins to examine the events that preceded Davey’s death.
What makes this film interesting is that once Will uncovers the truth behind his brothers death, there is no slow transformation back into the man he once was but, rather, a willful acceptance that the person he was trying to escape still is still there, an acknowledgement of that, according to his former crew upon his arrival, "people like us don't change, not really". The films morose atmosphere leading to Will's re-birth into the London underworld suggests that he is again following the path that he tried to depart from, one that will only lead to a damaging fate.
The film is slowly paced, allowing a more thorough examination into both Davey’s final evening and Will, who proceeds along with no emotion (I swear that man doesn't so much as blink throughout), even when he carries out his revenge. Even so, we get a pretty good read on Will by the films end, a man who cannot deny what he is, and the film suggesting that no matter how hard we try to change, we are what we are. - DirectorEdward DmytrykStarsRobert NewtonSally GrayPhil BrownClive Riordan plans a devilish revenge against his wife's lover.

- DirectorTalia LugacyStarsRosario DawsonChad FaustMarcus PatrickA college co-ed is brutally raped and struggles alone to rebuild her life.Descent tells of the rapid downfall of Maya (Rosario Dawson), a successful young college student who eventually seeks revenge after being sexually assaulted. Maya is played distinctly as stereotype here, someone who is both young and naïve and resembles someone we presumably know (or knew in the past). After meeting Jared at a party she falls for his charms and agrees to go out with him. What begins as a typical relationship suddenly turns into terror when, on their first date, Jared rapes Maya, showing his true self as an overtly misogynist @sshole with some racist attributes sprinkled in for good measure.
Descent proceeds into believable, if predictable, territory after the rape, as Maya’s victimization is chronicled as one would expect: reckless partying, promiscuity, and, of course, drug use. The duration of this period is not quite defined, but certainly resembles a willful descent into life’s dark corners. Later, as a TA, Maya runs into Jared who, as is expected, does not perceive Maya’s internal hostility (and probable fright), instead believing that she harbors no ill will toward him. Maya uses Jared's cluelessness against him, suggesting that yes, she did in fact have a good time that night and asks to see him again. What Jared doesn’t realize is that Maya is plotting her revenge.
Maya’s plan is simple, hoping to force Jared to experience the fear and humiliation of the act of rape. Luring him to her place she puts her plan into action as she proceeds to sodomize Jared before turning him over to a male ‘friend’ who, well, you get the idea.
An interesting rape/revenge fantasy that, while telling a tale that you have probably have heard before, dares to (ever so slightly) empathize with Jared, but also a film that turns the act of revenge back on itself. Finally, there is Maya herself who, once her part in the revenge is complete, is seen shedding a tear which, to me, suggests that an act taken for empowerment did not quite have the desired effect, leaving Maya some ways to go before she will heal from Jared’s assault. - DirectorJosef von SternbergStarsGene TierneyWalter HustonVictor MatureIn Shanghai, dragon lady 'Mother' Gin Sling operates a gambling house for wealthy patrons but she clashes with influential land developer Sir Guy Charteris who wants to put her out of business.

- DirectorSimon RumleyStarsAmanda FullerMarc SenterJon Michael DavisA woman attracts the attention of a psychopathic former Army interrogator and an emotionally fragile young man caring for his depressed mother.Beginning as an exhibition for the sexually charged Erica, a young woman trekking from various Austin TX bars for (what appears to be) the sole purpose of going home with a man (any man). The end result of these encounters is a typically an indifferent Erica who makes no effort to hide the fact that her job is done here, a job that will only happen if her target does not wear a condom—a fact that makes it clear that Erica is not just a whore, but rather a woman with an agenda, one who will use the best weapon at her disposal: her body.
Erica is a pretty tough read at first, a woman who will seemingly *beep* anyone except the one man tries to befriend her, is kind to her, and ultimately shows that his feelings for her are genuine. Nate is an even more mysterious character, calm and collected even as Erica refuses him, but one who seems to posses a latent danger. But, as Nate and Erica begin an intimate (if platonic) relationship, a previous sexual encounter of Erica’s is informed of the consequences their night together, beginning a brutal triangle of revenge.
RW&B is a low-key affair that ultimately shows our—at times—stupid choices and need to have someone to blame for them. The trigger for this tale of revenge is a bit thin, and only Nate’s action seem justified, but the film does a good job of slowly working up to its climax, which is about as nasty as it can be. - DirectorClint EastwoodStarsClint EastwoodSondra LockePat HingleWhen a woman exacts deadly revenge on the aggressors who raped her and her sister ten years earlier, Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan is assigned to the case.
