Super stylish and refreshingly different, Joe Wright and the young Saoirse Ronan elevate this thriller above a mere gimmick.

[Rec]
Balaguero and Plaza have perfected the first-person horror with this truly terrifying sleep-disturbing zombie tale from Spain.
Cool Runnings
A perfect family film with plenty of inspirational scenes, humour and moments of John Candy magic. Great for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
No surprises here as Michael Bay produces yet another soul-destroying special effects mess to render its quality cast rather redundant.
True Romance
This hugely entertaining thriller excels thanks to lashings of black humour, style and action and a supporting cast hardly rivalled in terms of acting (not star quality) in recent times. Definitely to be ranked up there with its movie cousins, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
The Counterfeiters
The Counterfeiters is a different kind of Holocaust movie – a more personalised tale concentrating on more of a thriller aspect without the sweeping history lesson of its vaunted Hollywood contemporaries. Nevertheless, Stefan Ruzowitzky still gives you enough open-ended moral questions to make you think and entertains along the way.
