A frustrating biopic of ‘Britain’s most dangerous prisoner’ that’s redeemed sightly by Hardy’s brilliant performance and a quality Eighties soundtrack.
Drama
Heaven
This unforgivably bad romantic ‘thriller’ gives a new meaning to waking up in a warm pool of your own urine.
Freight
Freight is notable mainly for the fact that it’s only the second ever film I’ve seen set in my unremarkable home town of Leeds. After getting over this shock I was just treated to clichés, a poorly thought out storyline and dialogue and a little bit of serviceable action.
Mr. Nice
This British druglord biopic gives Howard Marks the complete luvvy-duvvy treatment and offers absolutely nothing new but Mr. Nice has an interesting enough story to entertain throughout.
Made in Dagenham
A history lesson in a format your Mum might like, Made in Dagenham isn’t to everyone’s taste but it is largely watchable.
Buried
Who would have thought that watching Ryan Reynolds in a coffin for ninety minutes would be well-acted and tension-filled but Cortés manages it. Now for Adam Sandler in a coffin, minus the camera.
