Forever Young (1992) 54% 3/5 EDIT “Relying on his star name, the film doesn't have to be great and isn't, although Gibson and Curtis try their hardest.” – Empire Magazine Dec 11, 2018 Full Review The Rachel Papers (1989) 45% 2/5 EDIT “Captures the brash boldness of the novel, but not the literary wit. A misguided affair.” – Empire Magazine Nov 8, 2013 Full Review In the Line of Fire (1993) 96% 5/5 EDIT “What separates In The Line Of Fire from the rest of the bog-standard good-guy/bad-guy set-up is the clear implication throughout that these two sworn enemies have more in common than they may think.” – Empire Magazine Jul 30, 2013 Full Review Kazaam (1996) 5% 1/5 EDIT “Dismal.” – Empire Magazine May 29, 2013 Full Review The Prince of Tides (1991) 69% 3/5 EDIT “Graced with fine performances and commendably biting off more than it can ever hope to chew, The Prince Of Tides is a rare slice of romantic moviemaking for all those grown-ups feeling ignored since Kramer Vs. Kramer last rattled their value systems.” – Empire Magazine Feb 3, 2012 Full Review Jungle Fever (1991) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Includes a number of memorable set pieces, most notably a visit to a crack den which, accompanied by the epic sound of Stevie Wonder's "Living In The City," is simply unforgettable.” – Empire Magazine Sep 22, 2008 Full Review The Crying Game (1992) 95% 4/5 EDIT “A finely-acted, sensitively-written tale of an IRA gunman finding some sort of redemption in the arms of a British soldier's lover.” – Empire Magazine Aug 2, 2006 Full Review The Bodyguard (1992) 38% 3/5 EDIT “[An] absurd piece of entertaining fluff.” – Empire Magazine Apr 1, 2006 Full Review The Silence of the Lambs (1991) 95% 5/5 EDIT “A first unmissable, then enduring, but always unmissable classic.” – Empire Magazine Feb 1, 2006 Full Review The Godfather, Part III (1990) 66% 2/5 EDIT “Fans of the first two instalments are likely to find The Godfather Part III an unworthy heir to the tradition. First-time voters, meanwhile, will surely wonder what on earth all the fuss was all about.” – Empire Magazine Sep 15, 2004 Full Review Married to the Mob (1988) 88% 3/5 EDIT “A comic exploration of the changing face of the mafia, the only damage this mob will do is to your funnybone.” – Empire Magazine Feb 2, 2003 Full Review The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992) 67% 4/5 EDIT “A unexpected pleasure to watch, disturbing for new parents, slightly silly but ever so enjoyable.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Frankie and Johnny (1991) 69% 2/5 EDIT “Frankie & Johnny is a salutary reminder of what happens when two Hollywood stars, no matter what firmament they may inhabit, are lumped together without any real storyline, subtlety or sex.” – Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
