  at one stage and completely ignored the genre for years until "Reilly" came along in the early 1980's

    ended up hunting large reptiles with Laura Dern. Mr. Neill has never caught on, but I quite like him.

      he is literally that good in the role

      I agree that he has been in many poor Hollywood roles and in the Jurassic Park movies he is just going through the motions (he looks bored)

      Unfortunately, many of his better films are early, quite hard to source and include;

      Sleeping Dogs (NZ production and Rodger Donaldsons 1st film), Warren Oates has a walk on role in this

      Possession, (with Isabelle Adjani), European horror filmed by the Berlin wall in 1981

      Death in Balmain, Aussie production and an unusual black comedy

      Sam Neills shines in these films, but he's never as bright a Star as in "Reilly, Ace of Spies"

      Damned shame he doesn't get better roles, he's in a lot of films

  • "Smiley's" is a lukewarm, tepid, rehash. Not nearly as good. - Duilawyer 07:39:02 01/14/05 (0)
