Cry Freedom is directed and produced by Richard Attenborough. It is set in the late 1970s, during the peak of apartheid regime in South Africa and is based on the real-life events involving black activist Steve Biko and his friend Donald Woods.
Denzel Washington turns out an award winning performance playing the charismatic, political anti-apartheid activist - Steve Biko.
Washington leaves a indelible mark as playing Steve Biko and probably should have collected his first Oscar award for his great portrayal of Steve Biko.
Kevin Kline also did a remarkable job playing the South African Editor and friend of Steve Biko.

A great Biblical Epic Story of Solomon, the son of King David.
Wonderful set pieces, makes you think you back in ancient biblical times.
Ben Cross as Solomon, and David Suchet as Joab are on point and are quite close to biblical interpretation in terms of their characters.
Suchet is a believable Joab that wields great power and influence as the commander general of the ancient Israel army.
Max Von Sidow is okay as the ageing King David. Although I would have preferred Nathaniel Parker as the aging King David. Parker, I thought did a good Job as
David and was close to the biblical interpretation of his character.
Sidow's interpretation as punishing Suchet (Joab) in the movie was a little inaccurate. It is only after King David's death that Solomon moves quickly to execute Adonijah (his half-brother) and
Joab who he saw as a threat to his throne.
The film also boosts a great cast that also deliver.

"The Spy Who Loved Me" was definitely Roger Moore's best Bond.
From the opening sequence he flows with confidence and delivers his lines immaculately. This was Moore's third outing playing the Suave Super Spy, and this time he gets it right! The film was perfect in a sense it allowed Moore to play to his strength of charm,balanced aggression,humour,and wit. This worked well and helped it to distinguish it from the Connery Bond movies, a mistake which they made when Lazenby replaced Connery in the role briefly.
Lewis Gilbert did I wonderful job of directing Moore after previously directing Connery in "You Only Live Twice".
The movie boasts some great set pieces particularly where Moore(Bond) is pursued by Jaws (Richard Kiel), and in a helicopter by Naomi (Caroline Munro). Munro's chase with the helicopter as she pursues Bond's Lotus until it drives into the sea and turns into a submarine, is one of the highlights of the movie.
Kiel makes an excellent henchman and German actor (Curt Jurgen)makes a good baddie as Karl Stromberg, who is hell-bent over world domination and creating a new civilisation under water.
Barbara Bach is a beautiful companion and female agent who teams up with Moore in the movie to play Russian Agent Anya Amasova.
Credit should also be given to Moore's timing of humour in the film. This is what he does well out of all the actors that has played Bond (Connery, Lazenby, Dalton, Brosnan, and Craig). There are some good action pieces with him and Kiel (Jaws), and it works well and shows some vulnerability in the character, whereas when Connery played the role it felt that Connery had too much armour on.
Tribute should also go to late Cubby Broccoli in the sense that when his working partner Harry Saltzman left the Bond Franchise there would have been questions raised if Broccoli could succeed on his own and he succeeded! Without a doubt, this is Moore's best outing as Bond and ranks as my second favourite in the whole series.
Rating:9 out of 10.
