You really have to suspend your disbelief for this one, but it’s worth it, it’s a good family action film from The Rock. Total nonsense, but enjoyable. 7.0 / 10.0

Tom Hanks was right, this would have been much better at the cinema. That said, this is a very enjoyable war film in the classic mould, and one that I enjoyed a lot. A well-earned 8.5/10.0

Shades of Highlander in this cracking action movie starring the always bad-ass and excellent Charlize Theron. Good action plot and pacing, and a nice set up for a sequel. Let’s hope we get one. 7.5/10.0

Elizabeth Moss is excellent throughout, in a well written, well paced, tense movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and leaping out of it more than once. A great movie with a satisfying ending. A well deserved 8.5/10.0

What a refreshing change of pace! A fantastic foreign language movie getting well deserved recognition. The casting is fantastic, the writing tight and clever, the humour comic and dark. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. A well deserved 8.5/10.0.

How to describe this movie? Homage to 1940s mystery cinema? Drug-fuelled nightmare. Just plain weird? All of those things. I’m sure it’s trendy in an emporer’s-new-clothes kind of way to say this is an awesome film and “not something the general film goer will appreciate”, but I think this is an indulgent turd. A very disappointing and disturbing 3.0/10.0.

A good film, tough subject matter, powerful, left me feeling uneasy. Great cast and performances. A difficult 8.0/10.0.

Ah nostalgia! This is not a great movie by the standards of great cinema, but it’s great fun and good to see back on the big screen. An enjoyable 7.5/10.0

Hugh Grant was really good, I was not expecting him to play a credible lowlife. Michelle Dockery was good, but I can only see her as Lady Mary, so it didn’t work for me (my fault). She was fantastic in Godless, so not sure why I wasn’t getting it here. Overall, a good film.

A good film, not a great story. Visually stunning, a great demonstration of the film makers art, but it has some odd lead casting. To be fair, it is a also bit flat and/or clumsy in places, particularly with some scenery / lighting. I was expecting higher, but 7.5/10.0
