The Punisher

This reactionary revenger will bring real satisfaction to fans of Bush's foreign policy – but probably not to anybody else.

The Perfect Score

A film about exams that tests us in all the wrong ways.

The Reckoning

Medieval monotony.

Taking Lives

Think of it as a combination of ‘Se7en’ without the shocks and Angelina Jolie without her clothes.

Bad Santa

Hilariously irreverent antidote to a cloying Christmas.

Killing Zoe

A bloody mess, in more ways than one.

Kaosu

A twisty, and at times twisted, kidnapping thriller – just a pity the direction seems so sterile.

Fakers

Low-budget artworld scam film that does not come close to passing off as any of the comedy crime capers it imitates.

Man on Fire

A beautiful-looking, well-acted revenge movie, but too big and dumb-assed to be so serious.

Cellular

It’s silly, it’s massively unbelievable, and it features the most grossly cynical amount of product placement you’re likely to see – but it’s just about exciting enough to be a guilty pleasure.
