What Ray Elwood lacks in devotion to his flag he more than makes up for in devotion to his own well being. As a sergeant in the American army stationed in Germany, Ray has cornered the blackmarket in just about everything, but when a new sergeant moves into the base to clean things up, it would appear Ray's easy street is about to be closed for some major resurfacing. Buffalo Soldiers is a dark, pacey, and at times ludicrous satire, with a repugnant anti-hero, whose only redeeming feature is tha

Three young Hong Kong hustlers move to Saigon to try and profit, smuggling penicillin and gold, from the war, but their friendship is tested to the limits through greed, betrayal and lust, amid the horrors of a war-torn Vietnam. Comparable to the 'Deer Hunter', this violent epic is the most ambitiously personal and political of John Woo's films, but still comes packed with guns, explosives and balletic action.

Into this less than hopeful world arrives a young woman who has achieved the miracle of pregnancy, everyone wants the child as a cynical totem for the people, and those planning rebellion are as ruthless as those in power.

This is the story of a group of North Africans who enlisted in the French Army to fight for the motherland, freedom and equality, and against Nazism. We follow their travails through France's first military defeat of Germany, by raw Arab conscripts, through to being the first French troops to fight their way into Alsace. Throughout they are treated as second rate people by French men, though oddly not always by the women, denied full rations, promotions or leave - they do and they die. As a war

The true WW2 story of how a Jewish group led by the Bielski brothers, including many women, oldies and children, survived for 4 years in the then Polish, now Belorussian, forests, lived in dugouts, built a kitchen, a mill, a bakery, a bathhouse, a medical clinic for the sick and wounded and a quarantine hut for typhus sufferers. The film has rather twisted reality, introducing action and battle scenes that never took place, and totally ignores both the role of the Polish partisans, causing some
