Woody's Movie Review 16

First we have "Escape from Sobibor". I first saw this in a beach side hotel while on vacation with my family. This was also the vacation that my sister and I watched the championship round of mini-golf on TV, but I digress. The movie tells the story of a concentration camp where the prisoners rise up against the Germans with a plan to escape. Very good 5 penguins.

Also good is "Tortured" starring Cole Hauser and Lawerence Fishburne. It is a twisting turning suspense that had me guessing for most of it. Very good 4 penguins.

And if you are looking for a movie to just make you mad, I suggest "The Jack Bull" starring John Cusack. Cusack plays a horse rancher turned vigilante in a quest for justice. I admit I was yelling loudly at the screen at one point in this one. 5 penguins.

Finally we have "In Pursuit of Honor". Don Johnson trades in pastels for saddles as a member of the U.S. Cavalry. The cavalry is making the switch to motorized vehicles and Johnson's duty is to escort a group of horses to their final rodeo. Johnson and 3 other men decide to go against the orders of the Army and save the horses in Canada. It is a long and treacheries ride, but a good movie. 4 penguins.
