Survivor<\/em> allows the entire cast to shine.<\/p>\n

You hear Hollywood types talk about “bankable actors” and this movie was the proof of that concept for me. I knew nothing about Survivor<\/em> when I put it on my rental list. I knew it had Pierce Brosnan<\/a>, Roger Rees,<\/a> and Milla Jovovich<\/a> so I added it. Glad I did!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Many of you probably don’t know the name Roger Rees. Sadly he left us in 2015. I absolutely loved his recurring role on “The West Wing<\/a>.” His movie career started in 1975 and includes some memorable appearances on both television, film and documentary. We are a richer species because he graced us with his presence.<\/p>\n

Can anyone who likes science fiction\/action movies ever say enough good things about Milla Jovovich. Yes, the name may be tough to say, but “Resident Evil<\/a>” and “Ultraviolet<\/a>” are absolute mainstays of the genre. Those who cater more toward swashbuckling romance should catch her in “The Three Musketeers<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

I must confess to being a fan of Pierce Brosnan since “Remington Steele<\/a>” graced the television. Even as a little kid I could tell he oozed style. It was a nice departure to see him play a bad guy who was a bad guy from the start of the film. Even in this film he still oozed style.<\/p>\n

The pleasant surprise was Frances de la Tour<\/a>. Yes, another name difficult for Americans to say, but her roles in “Harry Potter<\/a>” and “The History Boys<\/a>” should bring her to mind. She has both an unmistakable look and voice. She is one of those rare actors who can disappear so completely into a role you barely notice the actor because the character is so complete.<\/p>\n

Survivor<\/em> is well worth owning, not just renting.<\/p>\n
