Action movie fanatics may wanna take a look at Kaufman's work, he started in 2005 with a very low budget flick The Prodigy (200 000 bucks), a dark and gloomy story about a sadistic masked killer. A must watch. The mold for all his other movies.

The way he handles the shoutouts is quite specific, a mixture of quick cuts, and immersive shots, gore wounds, and intense sound design, and believe me it works and it's very enjoyable. It gives a unique and aggressive style to the fight scenes and it shows.

He then continued to direct and write action flicks, using his skills learned in the industry to make good stuffs despite having a limited budget. But he brings back all the old faces you wanna see, Lundgren, Cuba, Berenger, Prochnow,Mandylor,Strong, Coates etc... . I recommend all his movies.

The Channel is no exception and it still got the spirit, good pacing, good acting, immersive music, intense shootout scenes and sound design, you can tell they liked the other good heist movies, there are some references and nod to Heat, Reservoir Dogs and Point Break. No lecturing, no politics, just true Cinema.

I'm curious to see his next movie wich will be released in a 3 days : Shrapnel.

Sure Night Trap's gameplay could repel a sheer number of players, back in the early 90ies and now. You spy one room after the other, and try to activate the traps at the right moment to capture augers, vampires, and protect the babes. But what's the greatest element about this game is ? It's a time capsule, as it was shot in 1987, you've got that awesome "cheesy" 80ies vibe, the hairdo, musics, fashion, the lines of dialogues are delivered in a very campy way. It's so good you can just watch the game as a short movie. I've been trying to find a movie like Night Trap, and the sorority attack in Revenge of the Nerds (1984) sounds very similar, so I like to think that the game staff was inspired by it. I've got the chance to chat with the late John Rashad Kamal , I was wondering why he spoke french a few times in the english version of the game, it was his choice, as he was fluent in french, he told me this skill made him get many roles in other projects, right under the nose of the other actors. As a french I can tell he was fluent. There was a controversy in the US, politicians doing a crusade against the game cartoonish and tame violence , it was like the people who rate Night Trap to be one of the worst videogame ever, all of these people don't even know what they're talking about. It's so enjoyable to activate the cool traps , spy the gorgeous girls in the rooms ,God ! I love this game.
