MOVIE REVIEW
Renny Harlin is at it again. You know, trying to trick audiences into thinking he's still relevant. Over a decade since Deep Blue Sea and nearly 20 years since his last major hit - Cliffhanger - Harlin is back once again with the war thriller 5 Days of War. It's a valiant effort - it really is - but lacks the necessary budget and, more importantly, the tension required to make a movie like this work. Full movie review »
