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.
Thriller
Memento
.Nolan Christopher from thriller time-bending enthralling An
Legion
Legion presents some interesting ideas, and a bunch of movie references, but its definitely got some issues to work through.
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.
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.
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Remakes arent always a bad thing, but the lack of charisma from the leads and the script that feels like it was written by six different people who never met converged to make this a mostly bad thing with a few good bits.
