Rescue Dawn (2006)

About an American aviator shot down in Vietnam. Said to be in part a true story. Only seen 15 minutes so far, so I don't know if I like it, but it has a good IMDB score

A very gritty film, reminds me of one of the reasons I left NZ.

Not the type of film the NZ Tourist board would endorse.

Love this film - just watched it again.

Well, it's about football, innit?

Tattoo (2002)

This has been referred to as the German version of Seven. It's quite unfair, as it's a good film in it's own right. Here's the summary from wikipedia:

Quote:

Marc Schrader, a rookie cop caught red-handed with drugs in a police raid of an illegal rave, joins a homicide investigation conducted by Chief Inspector Minks. The victim is a naked young woman with the skin stripped off her back, killed as she staggered into traffic.

As Schrader and Minks investigate the murder, the case is complicated by a finger found in the stomach of the victim. Forensic examination proves the finger belongs to Nobert Günzel, who was previously convicted of rape and assault. The police raid Günzel’s residence, and discover a blood-stained table with restraints and bits of human flesh in his basement. They also find video equipment and preserved, tattooed skin from the victim’s back. Soon, they found dead bodies buried in the garden. Günzel then goes missing.

As the complex investigation progresses, Schrader discovers Mink has a personal stake in the investigation; he wants to find the missing daughter of an old friend. He realizes later that the missing girl is actually Mink’s runaway daughter. As the body count rises, the duo has to come to terms with their inner demons, and the truth is much darker than it seems.

It's not the same type of film as Seven at all; it's lazy reviewers that can't be bothered to realise there's a film industry OUTSIDE Hollywood. Yes, there are some parallels, but judge the film on it's own merits, rather than a lazy comparison to a (rather good) Hollywood blockbuster.
