DVD Reviews of Nomads

DVD Review: I really like Pierce Brosnan
Summary: 5 Stars

I remember watching this movie back in the 80s. I enjoyed it very much and am happy to add it to my cult classic collection. If you like a good thriller featuring Pierce Brosnan, then this is the movie.

DVD Review: Definitely one of Pierce's best!
Summary: 5 Stars

This 1986 thriller stars Pierce Brosnan, Lesley-Anne Down, Anna-Maria Monticelli and Adam Ant.

Brosnan is an French anthropologist who for years studied nomadic tribes and peoples in various remote parts of the world. He decided to settle down and lead a more conventional lifestyle. Thus he moved with his wife (Anna-Maria Monticelli) to southern California to embark on a new career as a UCLA professor of Anthropology.

The movie opens up with Jean Pommier (Brosnan) in the hospital emergency room where he is bloody, beat-up and brought in by paramedics. He wispers one word, Innuit, in the ear of Dr. Eileen Flax (Lesley-Anne Down), bit her ear and then died. The Dr. Flax then relives Pommier's last few days and tries to uncover the mystery of his death and try to stop the demons before she suffers the same fate as Pommier.

During the trip back, we encounter a strange group of nomadic urban gang-like, up-to-no-good people led by Adam Ant (kind of reminded me of the group in Clockwork Orange). They are terrorizing Pommier's house and new neighborhood in a black van. Pommier discovers that they are no different than the nomads he tracked in the remote areas of the world. He's intrigued and follows the group around, taking notes and photos, none which come out, but that adds to the chilling thrill ride that this movie takes you on. To reveal anymore would give away the film. This is now one of my top 10 favorite movies---a must see and buy.

DVD Review: Nomads
Summary: 5 Stars

This was a Christmas present for my son, and he enjoyed it immensely along with his brother who was visiting for the holiday. This was a movie I personally did not see, but one my son had requested.

DVD Review: Nomads
Summary: 2 Stars

The movie was relatively boring until the end when one finally understands what is going on. At the end when the two women are trying to escape the motorcycle rider and he stops at the border of California it violates the whole premise of the move as he has become a "Nomad" and cannot be stopped by any kind of borders.

The acting was only fair and even Pierce Brosnan seemed stiff and uncomfortable in this role. And, as for the "male frontal nudity," that's a joke too. Pierce is naked but the shadows are so dark nothing is visible in the scene.

Save your time and money and see Pierce in "The Thomas Crown Affair."

DVD Review: EXCELLENT
Summary: 5 Stars

I received the movie within 7 days of ordering and I am overseas in Iraq. Was very pleased with the movie and the service

Description of Nomads

Lesley-Anne Down (Night Trap), gives a riveting performance (L.A. Weekly) and Pierce Brosnan (The World Is Not Enough) proves himself a top talent (Judith Crist) in 'the moststylish supernatural-themed chiller'since Carrie (Variety)! Writer/director John McTiernan (The Thomas Crown Affair, Die Hard), assisted by a haunting score from Oscar?(r) winner* Bill Conti (Rocky), delivers a chiller thriller [that's] brimming with menace and suspense (Judith Crist)! They creep. They kill and no one knows who they are or where theycame from. But when these rootless, demonic spirits descend on a determined doctor, all hell breaksloose. Bitten by a dying madman named Jean Pommier (Brosnan), Dr. Eileen Flax (Down) becomes the vessel for his turbulent and insane thoughts. Thrust into his last days, she is shocked to discover the existence of mysterious and murderous demons on a quest for destruction and begins her own quest to somehow stop before she joins Pommier in his horrifying fate! *1983: Original Score, The RightStuff

Pierce Brosnan, bloody and beaten and hysterically screaming in French, whispers a word, Innuat, into the ear of emergency-room physician Lesley-Anne Down and promptly dies. John McTiernan (Die Hard) knows how to kick off a movie, and his directorial debut, Nomads, shows a real flair for visual tension and eerie imagery. For reasons never explained, Down relives the final days of anthropologist Brosnan in mind-jolting flashes of memories that send her stumbling across L.A. and into the path of a demonic gang of black-leather punks (led by cult singer Adam Ant). McTiernan's ambition overreaches his abilities--the muddled story depends on smart people doing dumb things, and the hints of personalities merging in Down's tormented psyche remain frustratingly unexplored--but his sense of mood and mystery created solely out of suggestion is unerring. There's a fascinating movie lost in the confusion of this unsettling supernatural thriller. --Sean Axmaker
