Movies starring Stephen Rea

Life Is Sweet (1990)

103 mins     Comedy, Drama      

If performances made a movie "Life is Sweet" would have swept the board and won every award under the sun. But a movie is more than just about the performances and this is where "Life is Sweet" comes undone as it doesn't real...

The Crying Game (1992)

112 mins     Crime, Drama, Romance      

This is going to be a slightly different sort of movie review where I don't go into much depth because I don't think "The Crying Game" should be reviewed in the traditional way. Not because it is a bad movie, far from it, but...

Interview with the Vampire (1994)

123 mins     Drama, Horror, Romance      

The storyline to "Interview with the Vampire" goes on as that barely covers the first half of the movie but in the same manner the focus is on Louis' story and his conflict with being a vampire and his hatred of Lestat for do...

Michael Collins (1996)

133 mins     Biography, Drama, Thriller      

I've mentioned before that I was born in the early 1970s and as a Brit I have clear memories involving the conflict in Ireland and the various acts of the IRA. But as I was young I had no real interest in what was going on an...

Still Crazy (1998)

95 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

When you mention movies about fictional rock bands "This is Spinal Tap" is often mentioned but a movie which should get mentioned just as often is "Still Crazy" an amusing, dramatic end surprisingly emotional tale of a fictio...

Feardotcom (2002)

101 mins     Crime, Horror, Thriller      

Well that's 101 minutes of my life I won't be getting back and don't feel like I have got anything worthwhile for relinquishing them. And that is where this review of "Feardotcom" starts as whilst I have watched a lot of movi...

Proud (2004)

87 mins     Drama      

As I watched the movie "Proud" it reminded me of a scene in the movie "The Aviator" where Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes moans that the footage of planes he had filmed in the sky for a movie look static. That is one of th...

Tara Road (2005)

97 mins     Drama, Romance      

So there I am scouring the TV guide for something to watch and I spot this movie "Tara Road" and immediately it grabbed my attention. Prior to this I had never heard of "Tara Road" but the write up which said it was about two...

Sisters (2006)

92 mins     Thriller      

Before watching "Sisters" I looked for some info on it because I noticed Brian De Palma's name in amongst the writers or as I found out it was a remake of an earlier Brian De Palma movie. Now unsurprisingly I read a few opini...

Until Death (2007)

101 mins     Action , Drama, Thriller      

If I was to tell you that Jean-Claude Van Damme puts in the best performance in "Until Death" you may say so what, the rest of the cast must be a bunch of nobodies. I doubt you can call Stephen Rea a nobody and Rea also puts ...

88 mins     Fantasy, Horror, Sci-Fi, TV Movie      

Movie Review - Roadkill (2011) a group of young tourists driving around Ireland fall foul of some locals and end up being cursed and dealing with a giant bird known as a Simuroc which hunts them down...

Blackthorn (2011)

102 mins     Action , Adventure , Western      

It is always an interesting idea, making a movie about a legend but giving us the alternative story of what may have happened if they hadn't died. When it comes to western characters as in this case Butch Cassidy it provides ...

Out of the Dark (2014)

92 mins     Horror, Thriller      

I woke up at around 3am this morning and I found myself struggling not only to remember the movie which I had watched just 6 hours earlier but also much of what went on in it. That movie is "Out of the Dark" a supernatural th...
