Quality at an affordable price.
3 of 4 found this helpful Armadillo makes a quality holster for a VERY fair price. Not to disparage it at all, it's not the best holster on the market, but it's far from the worst, and you're not paying for the best. You're paying for a well-constructed holster and I for one am anticipating years of service with it. You won't go wrong with it.

Be brave and be rewarded with the outstanding acting.
Don't worry, I'm not about to write a spoiler review.
"Under Suspicion" is an American remake of the 1981 French thriller titled "Garde à vue." Both movies deal with the investigation of a prominent citizen who is a suspect in a child murder case, and the police investigator is a friend of the suspect. There are some disturbing images here but no action scenes to horrify viewers. Understand however, this is a film for mature viewers, and one so superbly acted, so filled with powerful nuances addressing the complexities and frailties of human relations, I can't help but wonder why this film didn't receive the major recognition or awards it deserved. Perhaps it was too real, disturbing, or deep, but this highly under-rated film is definitely worth watching if for no other reason than some of the most intense acting you'll ever see.

Goldeneye revived the James Bond legacy
1 of 1 found this helpful What most people tend to forget is that the directors & crew produce the quality of a movie, not only the actors and actresses. When we compare James Bond movies many older Bond fans have a tendency to say "Sean Connery was the best Bond" but the style, the politics, and even the social morality of the era any film is produced dictates much of the end result, as well as the indecipherable motivations of HOLLYWOOD.
Recovering the Bond fans after the Roger Moore era of 007 films (I'm not faulting Mr. Moore at all) was no easy endeavor, but it was done, brilliantly, with Goldeneye, the first of the Pierce Brosnan era. He carries on the Hollywood tradition of Bond making sarcastic and sometimes sexist quips, but his Bond is more mature and serious than the way Moore was directed to be. Perhaps it's a generational transition, for now we have Bond portrayed by the phenomenal Daniel Craig, the most serious and complex Bond to date. (I'm sure Ian Fleming would approve of his portrayal were he still alive.)
But it was Brosnan who got the 007 franchise back on track when it was headed for the dump, and Goldeneye did it in a big way. The plot is solid, the action is believably executed, the entire cast is appealing and talented; it's certainly one of the best if not THE best 007 movie. If you are new to the James Bond genre you MAY have seen and been turned off to the well-acted but ludicrously unbelievable action scenes in "Quantum of Solace" - don't shake your head and walk away wondering why anyone likes Bond - see Brosnan in Goldeneye or any of his other films, see Sean Connery's 007 films - I'm sure you'll get the bug and want to see every 007 movie. They're all great diversions from the typical 9 to 5 most of us live, but some are better than others.
