.Nolan Christopher from thriller time-bending enthralling An
Crime
The Disappearance of Alice Creed
A simple yet gripping, stripped back tale of kidnap and multiple betrayal with three fine performances and plenty of tension. At last, a really good British crime thriller not based on Mockney geezers or football hooligans.
The Lovely Bones
The Lovely Bones is, as a movie not living in the shadow of the book upon which it is based, unique and engaging, and full of a very frightening Stanley Tucci.
Iron Man 2
A fun but pretty pointless sequel that retraces a lot of old ground and wastes a talented supporting cast in favour of an all-out blanket coverage on Robert Downey Jr.’s superhero.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Measured storytelling, comprehensive characterisation and a number of hard-to-spot plot twists, should make this perfectly crafted crime thriller Sweden’s best export since Ikea.
Green Zone
Greengrass and Damon deliver enough intrigue and full blooded action to satisfy fans of the Bourne series but they fail to create three-dimensional characters or add anything substantial to the genre.
