As quintessentially British as tea and scones, binge drinking, and teenage pregnancy. This comedy thriller is pretty lightweight but packed full of subtle irony and sarcastic humour.
Crime
The Usual Suspects
A good detective thriller made great by an eye-opening ending. It’s just such a shame that, unless you’ve been living in North Korea or in Josef Fritzl’s basement for fifteen years, no-one will come to this movie untouched by the hype.
From Paris with Love
Weve seen it before, but this action flick is a quick, funny watch, due mostly to a masterfully ridiculous performance by Travolta, that only sags a little at the end.
Go
If you fancy anything edgier than this self-indulgent rubbish then go fishing.
The Killer Inside Me
Forget the controversy surrounding the brutal violence, The Killer Inside Me is a well-acted, thought provoking film noir impressively told from the twisted point of view of a serial killer.
The Bad Lieutenant – Port of Call: New Orleans
Nicholas Cage is back on form with this impressive Herzog police thriller remake high on surreal humour and narcotics. Not one of Herzog’s best but a pleasing watch nonetheless.
