A real knockout. A cut above the rest. Punching above it’s weight. Has a fighting chance at the Oscars. In summary, it’s pretty good.
Action
The Mechanic
A typical Jason Statham vehicle that delivers on action, plot and, most importantly, entertainment. Not a classic but a decent watch nonetheless.
La Haine
A quality character driven exploration of class and race divisions in a Parisian ‘ghetto’ with three excellent lead performances and an interesting story. Undoubtedly, the best thing to come out of France since Emmanuelle.
Sunshine
Looks and sounds fabulous but gets a little bit silly in the end.
Season of the Witch
A laughable American-made Medieval romp ruined by clichés, anachronisms, ridiculous action and dialogue and Nicholas Cage. Avoid like the plague.
TRON: Legacy
A total victory of style over substance from first time Director Joseph Kosinski that’s really awe-inspiring big screen fun. There’s plenty to criticise but just enjoy the ride.
