A good detective thriller made great by an eye-opening ending. It’s just such a shame that, unless you’ve been living in North Korea or in Josef Fritzl’s basement for fifteen years, no-one will come to this movie untouched by the hype.
Black Death
Okay but not great, Black Death is deftly moody and unsentimentally brutal in parts but never really hits its stride when it should.
Go
If you fancy anything edgier than this self-indulgent rubbish then go fishing.
La Fille du RER
A rather uneven affair that suffers from unlikeable characters and the bypassing of an interesting wider social context.
The Killer Inside Me
Forget the controversy surrounding the brutal violence, The Killer Inside Me is a well-acted, thought provoking film noir impressively told from the twisted point of view of a serial killer.
Starship Troopers
Paul Verhoeven is at his crazy best with this mixture of B-movie shoot-em-up and anti-Imperialist critique. It’s much deeper than it would seem at first glance but it’s also great fun.
