Get past the weird stuff and you’ve got an interesting thriller from Japan.
Crime
Alex Cross
Morgan Freeman is just one thing of many that this amateurish thriller needs to be in any way engaging. Poor.
Seven Psychopaths
A wonderfuly dark and ridiculous comedy that gives us a slightly different kind of thriller. Sam Rockwell puts in a stellar performance and Colin Farrell stars in his third decent film ever. I’m stoked for the lad.
Skyfall
Craig and Mendes put in an above average turn in the Bond series. Some great action sequences sit uneasily next to some extremely mediocre ones but the story and the fascinating bunch of characters keep things interesting.
The Sweeney
More Hot Fuzz than credible cop thriller, The Sweeney is a long list of missed opportunities. If you desperately want to watch cops behaving badly, tune into the classic TV show on UK Gold instead.
Cell 211
A gripping prison drama with a slew of twists from Spain that has it’s flaws but remains well worth a watch nonetheless.
