Starring: Roy Scheider
A violent feud develops between an American and a Soviet colonel, each in charge of a border post between Czechoslavakia and East Germany.
Slightly odd thriller, whatever was eating at Scheider's character right from the off, was never really explained. A few decent action sequences. Scheider is not the greatest of actors and yet I always seem to quite enjoy his movies. 6/10
Every Sunday morning, i watch an old movie that I've never seen before. Here are my weekly thoughts of the films with a mark out of 10.

Blackout 1950
Starring: Dinah Sheridan
A man supposedly killed in an air crash turns out to be the head of a counterfeiting ring.
The old 'Blind man witnesses a murder' plot. I wish his character had remained blind throughout. Reasonable B-movie thriller. 6/10

Friday The Thirteenth 1933
Starring: Sonnie Hale
Several people are involved in a bus crash, and we turn back the clock to see how they came to be there.
No, not that one. A different Friday 13th. A nice idea but I think I would have developed it in a different way. To work on fewer stories, really developed the characterization so that the audience are fully invested in them and then see who survives the crash and who didn't. Not the best. 3/10

The Numbers Station 2013
Starring: John Cusack
A disgraced black ops agent is dispatched to a remote CIA broadcast station to protect a code operator. Soon, they find themselves in a life-or-death struggle to stop a deadly plot before it's too late.
A bit too dark for my taste, needed a little more light along with the shade. Started well but I lost interest about half way through. 4/10
