Forget 'Troy', forget 'Alexander' – this is war epic at its most intense, bloody and gripping, with no added cheese.
Action
Assault on Precinct 13
This second assault on the unlucky precinct proves that practice makes perfect.
Ladder 49
This blazing drama might have its characters feeling hot, hot, hot, but it left this reviewer feeling cold, cold, cold.
Elektra
Hardly the 'Citizen Kane' of superhero films – but 'Elektra' is better than 'DareDevil', and a LOT better than 'Catwoman'.
Stage Beauty
This passable costume drama is mainly mouth and quite literally no trousers.
Foolproof
Proof, at last, that rummaging around the straight-to-video section of your local movie rental store can actually pay off Foolproof really is a film worth seeing.
