Little Nikita
|
IMDB rating: 6.10 Plot: Roy Parmenter is an FBI agent in San Diego; 20 years ago his partner was killed by a Soviet spy, nicknamed Scuba, still at large. Scuba is now trying to extort the Soviets; to prove he’s serious, he’s killing their agents one by one, including “sleepers,” agents under deep cover awaiting orders. Roy interviews a high school lad, Jeff Grant, an applicant to the Air Force Academy. In a routine background check, Roy discovers that Jeff’s parents are sleepers. He must see if Jeff is also a spy, confront the parents yet protect them, and catch his nemesis. Meanwhile, the Soviets have sent their own spy-catcher, the loner Karpov, to reel in Scuba. Alliances shift; it’s cat and mouse. |

English Exam Help Please?
My exams start on monday and i’ve been revising and preparing; we’ve been told that we’re doing a film review in the exam so i’ve tried to do one and memorize it; i’m only year8 but i’ve got the highest target level in the year (level 7a/8c) which is like well shocking because most people are level 6’s and i’m like level 5 in maths? 
and i’m only good at English so i’ve gotta get this level (yn). Anyway is this okay? I chose the film Taken to review because i know it quite well and i enjoyed it.
anyway:
Taken, despite it’s retread James Bond/Jason Bourne action sequences, with car chases, drug dealing and fight scenes, works on the strength of it’s lead, Liam Neeson. With an attention-capturing tagline that reads "I don’t know who you are, but if you don’t let my daughter go, I will find you; I will kill you", how are you not intrigued to find the conclusion of this action-packed film? The beginning may seem, and sound, a little ridiculous, however, the film is entertaining to say the least. You can’t go wrong in watching this exciting thriller.
When Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) retires from the government business to spend more time with his beloved daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) he is not too pleased when Kim has the oppurtunity to go to Paris with her friend Amanda. Reluctantly, Bryan agrees, as long as she calls him when she arrives and every night before she goes to sleep. While on the phone to Bryan one day, Kim sees Amanda being attacked by strangers on the other side of the apartment, and it is a matter of minutes before Kim is kidnapped by an Albanian sex trafficking ring. Using his fascinating skills and abilities, Bryan has to find her before she is lost forever.
Produced and co-written by ‘The Professional’ and ‘La Femme Nikita’ director Luc Besson, the story is cliched and predictable, but Neeson is the attraction. For an action film, it has all the elements you could possibly imagine: violence, fighting and a happy ending and with a running time of 90 minutes, the pace is quick and steady. It’s the same man-saves-the-day stuff we’ve seen in the past, only with an interesting twist, so sit back and enjoy the movie.

It sounds pretty good. The only thing is that in the last paragraph when you write "it has all the elements you could possible imaging: violence, fighting, and a happy ending and with a running time of 90 minutes" I think you had a run-on sentance by tacking on "and with a running time of 90 minutes, the pace is quick and steady". The two ands in the sentance don’t sound right and i would split it into two sentances. Also, in the first paragraph when you say "how are you not intrigued" i would switch are with the word can, and add "be" after "not". Other than that, look great!
