Nowhere to Hide

 (1987)

Amy Madigan stars as an ex-Marine married to a Marine officer. Her world is turned upside down when her husband is murdered because he discovered some manufacturing defects caused by cost-cutting in a new batch of helicopters. The Marine Corps then turns on her, and she must rely on her own wits and skill, and the help of one of her husband's friends, to protect her son and avoid the same fate as her husband.


IMDb readers say 5.4. I suppose that might be correct, but I thoroughly enjoyed it as a brainless actioner, and found the plot believable. It was nice to have a character to root for for a change.

Amy Madigan shows a breast from the side, and most of her butt crack.

Hallam Foe

(2008, now renamed "Mister Foe")

You won't love this strange drama for its nudity. There is some, but it is pretty tame. The story, however, is fairly interesting, although the hero is not especially lovable. In fact, he's just plain damned weird.

Hallam Foe is 17 and very strange. His mother has committed suicide, and Hallam copes by becoming a stalker and peeping tom, even breaking into places to rummage through people's belongs.

Hallam is obsessed with the notion that his stepmother (Claire Forlani) killed his mother, and he almost strangles her, but winds up having sex with her instead. After this incident, Hallam leaves for Edinburgh, where he spots a young woman (Sophia Myles) who strongly resembles his mother. He stalks her, becoming more obsessed, then gets a job in a hotel where she is a supervisor, and eventually strikes up a friendship with her.

This is a fascinating character study, but very strange, with a nicely twisting ending. It's not for everyone, but some will find it intriguing.
