Excelent movie!
This is definitely one of the best Christmas movies I have ever seen. It really shows how the Christmas miracle is really true. It is also an excelent family movie. I would encourage anyone buying this film as a present or just for their viewing pleasure.

SILENT NIGHT, WELL-SPENT NIGHT
I wasn't at the Battle of the Bulge, the last great battle of World War II whose little-known and unknown byways form the locale of this true-life story, but SILENT NIGHT is, in its way, as evocative and illuminating of this momentous event in history as its far-better-known counterpart, the 1949 front-line combat film, BATTLEGROUND.

Rather than concentrating on the fierce, frozen struggle that the Bulge certainly was -- leaving as it did, thousands of Americans and Germans dead in the dark, snowy Huertgen Forest during that brutal winter of 1944-'45 -- SILENT NIGHT deals with the intertwined universality of soldiers' longing for home, a war-weary German mother's longing for peace in her own home, and her little boy's desperate need for a sign that the world he'll inherit might be filled by something other than the hollow, ranted slogans of the Hitler Youth.

The performances, especially those of Linda Hamilton, as the frightened, yet determined, Frau Vincken, and the young men who play the GI's and Wehrmacht infantrymen, convincingly convey the snow-blanched weariness and wariness that surely contributed to the real participants' touch-and-go attempt to lay aside their arms for one last wartime Christmas, as a sign that their world may have tired of its madness.

Also utterly convincing, by the way, is the film's depiction of the snowbound German landscape -- photographed, as I understand it, in Quebec in the height of summer!

The True Meaning of Christmas
The message of SILENT NIGHT is the meaning of Christmas itself: compassion and caring overcoming hatred and hostility. As a history teacher and a human being I highly recommend this movie.

The plot is riveting, the characters are real, the setting is wonderful, and the theme will touch your heart to a depth that no sugary-sweet traditional Christmas film can.

The producers, director, actors and crew created a movie that you will remember for years after you watch it. It is well worth your time and money.

A Memorable Movie
SILENT NIGHT is a thoughtful movie, in the truest sense of the word. This true story depicts one woman's amazing strength of character, several soldiers' personal struggles between duty and human kindness and an eventful Christmas Eve one boy never forgot. Very well written; strong performance by Linda Hamilton. Highly recommended.

Silent Night - excellent Christmas film
Too often during the holidays, we are bombarded with sugary sweet films with adorable kids and silly stories. This is not one of those, but instead is an intelligent and touching memoir of an exceptional and true night in the life of a young boy and his mother. Well acted and well written, Silent Night tells the story of a woman's struggle to keep peace in her mountain cabin during a Christmas Eve when several American and German soldiers find their way to her door. She not only manages to do that, but during the evening, she reaches the heart of each of her guests, stirring their humanity and their wishes for the end of the war. As they share their meal, they share bits of their 'real' lives with each other and begin to see each other as men, not just enemies. Linda Hamilton is excellent as the mother and leads a solid cast in this wonderful and warm story. Highly recommended for all members of the family. ... Read more

Great Highlander Action!!!
Highlander: Final Dimension is a very good movie. Some complain that it is too much like the original but I found it very good. Its way better than part 2 and Endgame. To be honest they should've just let Connor MacLeod rode off into the sunset instead of bringing him back for Endgame.
The action in this movie is very good and so are some of the special effects. As always the soundtrack is great with the talented Lorenna McKennit singing Bonny Portmore. There's even a poor man's version of Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood during the final battle! I always like this movie because it brings us back to Connor in a realistic way. None of this futuristic or Sanctuary garbage. This is really the second best movie in the whole series.

Nowhere near a good film, but most average sequel yet
Some fans will strike me for this, others will clap me on the shoulder, but in my opinion, HIGHLANDER III: THE SORCERER is the only trustworthy, even average sequel to HIGHLANDER. Let's face it - HIGHLANDER II can't even be considered a sequel, while HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME was a complete waste of potential.

Released in the U.S. as HIGHLANDER: THE FINAL DIMENSION, H3 has immortal Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert, back and better than ever) realizing that he didn't win The Prize, and that some immortals still remain: one of whom is evil sorcerer Kane (Mario Van Peebles). After Kane is freed from a 400-year slumber, he journeys to New York City seeking the Highlander. There MacLeod must do battle again. The game may have changed, but the rule remains the same: in the end, there can be only one.

First of all, let me say that while it's nowhere near a good movie, HIGHLANDER III is very entertaining and actually quite fun to watch. It's almost even a remake of the first film. Everything we want to know is explained (including why we have HIGHLANDER sequels!), and ... *sigh* Deborah Unger is included ...

Surprisingly, the film was also the only HIGHLANDER movie to get a PG-13! (The director's cut, however, is back to an R for a couple of sex scenes)

HIGHLANDER III also bears the most resemblance to HIGHLANDER: THE SERIES, which was, at the time, being filmed. It also features Loreena McKennit's "Bonny Portmore", one of the most beautiful songs ever written, which was featured in H:TS and later in HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME.

For every 1 good review of this film there are 10 bad ones. I think you'll just have to rent it yourself (Director's Cut, only) and see what you think. I thought it was the only reliable HIGHLANDER sequel yet.

The rule still remains: there can be only one. And so far, it applies to the sequels as well.

CAUTION!!!!
Only one ''special'' feature-trailers for other movies! Also this is in a format not mentioned on this site now- Widescreen. Repeat- Not full screen but crap screen as I call it. Now all 3 versions of the highlander movies [ excluding part two of course ] are widescreen. Me and everybody I know and have asked have no use for widescreen and hate it in comparison to full screen, who wants this? Stupid! 15$! Not recommended. 1 bad special feature- crapscreen format- copy protected so you can't put it on tape with one player [ boy I tried ]. I own it, but I can't put it on tape if I want to? I wasn't going to sell it, I just wanted to tape it for a friend who doesn't have a dvd player to watch it on. The quality of the transfer is nothing great. Considering it was made in the 90's and all- it looks about like it did. Also the story has plot holes you can walk through. I bought It partly for collection and partly because as bad as the actual story is or is laid out, it has good special effects -funny moments-deborah unger nude scene and I needed another highlander fix by the way. Not unwatchable at all, simply not well made. Entertaining but no real emotional weight like parts one and four. Horrible flashback of Lambert and Unger. Anyway half decent for fans' fixes, awful dvd packaging. ... Read more

good fun, with no substance
this movie is about a man who is the only survivor of a bloody motorcycle war and is bent on escaping the law and his past, only to end up in the middle of another motorcycle war. this movie is about redemption as this time he sides with the good (a group of native americans fighting for their land) against men who are shadows of himself.

If the acting had been better anf the plot had less holes this could have been a truly great biker flick. As it is the movie is entertaining, despite its problems, but no great find.

Rebel Run - motorcycle war
The hero of this movie is called "Bolt" (Richard Grieco) he comes with his motorcycle to a place owned by some indian. Bolt asks for motorcycle parts, but at the same time he is offered a job, fixing cars. Bolt helps the family out in a war against the motorcycle gang who wants the place. At the same time he helps the family, he falls in love with the daughter of the family (Sean Young). Bolt and the leader of the gang Billy Niles (Michael Ironside) are seen in a fight at the end of the movie "Jersey Style" as they said... like "chicken race"...but with chains and knives used to hurt the passing foe...

The movie was otherwise one of the best road movies I've seen. but it was sloppy made... the voice on someplaces was so low, that I had to turn the sound louder than normal... and the brightness changed on one or two places too even as the persons and scenery didn't move...(editing error?!)

the lenght of the movie is 1:28:44 instead of 93minutes that is written on the cover of the movie.

FANTASTIC MOVIE
OK DOLPH LUNDGREN ALWAYS CHOOSES DIRECT TO VIDEO FLICKS BUT THATS OK BECAUSE LETS FACE IT HE CAN ACT NOW THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE THIS IS ONE OF HIS BEST

Review
Four stars: two to Sarrazin and two to Sheider. Good plot but mediocre script. This film is proof-positive that actors the caliber of Michael Sarrazin and Roy Sheider can carry a film, even as supporting actors, and make you happy you purchased the ticket!

A really great action film.
I had first seen this film on Cinemax and I immediately enjoyed it. I got it right away when it was released on DVD. Roy Scheider's performance as the President was effective and convincing. I really liked the plot of the film. It kept me entertained and interested. I didn't think that this was a weak movie at all. I personally liked this film very much.

Intelligent low-budget action thriller
This is a modest action film about nuclear terrorism, though it is one in a long line of films starring Dolph Lundgren that feature average storylines enlivened by some above-the-average scripting and some surprising plot twists. There is a diverting appearance in this one from Montel Williams, the talk-show host.

Better Than Average Action Film
a great film terrific action scenes Dolph Lungren finally has the role he deserves action blended with comedy. Lungren Plays a hotshot army piolt who gets the unwanted job of following the president of the united states everywhere carrying a black bag containg nuclear launching codes. The most memorable scene in this film was the high speed chase cars driving off one building to another. Sensational Entertaiment! I love this film! ... Read more

Lets throw together a piece of ...to make money
Ok. I'm a highlander fan. The first movie was by no means an academy award winner, but I enjoyed it and it created a cult following that has spawned a tv show and several dismal sequels. ...I will give it that much. Unable to hold a flame to the original, this would have made a better second sequel. The second movie totally threw the franchise out of whack, and doomed the series to be constantly scrambling to make sense of the Highlander "universe". Back to this movie though (leaving all criticism of the alien world or earth's past behind *shudder*), I liked Mario Van Peebles, he played his character well and generally brought the idea of a monstrous villian across....As for Lambert, still the same old Connor but less dark and mysterious, more brooding and depressed for most of the movie. It's worth a watch if you're a highlander fan or just looking for a decent sword-swinging action flick. But do not expect gold...more like copper or less than copper...zinc or aluminum maybe. I give this movie 2 stars but I'd rather 1.5, since I didn't mind the premise, enjoyed the new villian but utterly hated the production job. But when you look at any Highlander sequel, you can't really say the production job was good anyway...

Great movie Best sequel
This is a great movie and the best sequel to the original. It ignores the fact that Highlander 2 ever happened, and ignores the television series. We're here in 1994, were Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) believes he's claimed the prize. He lost his wife Brenda in a automobile accident, and his adopted daughter Rachael. He's adopted a son. But he founds out that an old enemy who killed a master of Connor MacLeod in Japan, 400 years ago, is still alive. Connor journeys to New York City, the place of the gathering, in search of his enemy immortal, Kane (Mario Van Peebles). Confronted by the immortal, while a researcher(Deborah Unger) searching for Connor watches, Connor is saved when Kane realizes they are on holy ground. While Connor journeys back to Scotland, to train, Kane kidnaps Connor's son, and challenges him, in Jersey City. This fight will actually determine who wins the prize in this dimension of highlander which is ignoring the series and highlander 2. I recommend this movie and Highlander Endgame.

Not THAT bad!
While this is certainly not the best of the movies, it's not THAT bad. At least they didn't hack this one apart and screw up the storyline like they did with that awful space garbage. Any Highlander selection is worth watching again and again, even if "There Can Be Only One..."

Bad film, but a must have for fans....
If you are not a fan, STAY AWAY! This feels more like "The Scorpion King" than Highlander....YUCK!
But its on my shelf of DVD's, 'cause I am a fan! ... Read more
