Captain America:The Winter Soldier (2014)


2011's "Captain America:The First  Avenger" was an enjoyable romp and an above average addition to the (growing) Marvel comic book movie adaptations, so I was hoping for more of the same, and boy do Directors Anthony and Joe Russo deliver!

This is high octane 'boys own' movie making with an intelligent beating heart, post 9/11 cold warHow do we know who the bad guys are?" "If they start shooting at you they're bad!!", a serious bad ass villain Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier, a head cracking machine gun toting cross between Brandon Lee's The Crow and Tom Hardy's Bane!
politics for a plot, a fine cast (Samuel L Jackson, Robert Redford, Scarlett Johansson,Chris Evans), massive all guns blazing action set pieces, a dry sense of humour ("

An excellent  old school action packed story with a dark Political underbelly.
