Fury (6/10)
Fury is visually very impressive. Technically speaking, the cinematography, editing and soundstage are excellent, and seeing this on a big 4K screen with 7.1 surround is fantastic. Lots of pin sharp scenes whilst the thumping
’71 (7/10)
Jack O'Connel is the strong lead in '71. He plays a British soldier, Gary, expecting to be stationed in Germany, but instead his unit ends up 'helping' in Belfast. Early in his deployment he accidentally
The Raid: Redemption & The Raid 2: Berandal (8/10)
The Raid (2011) follows a special forces team entering an apartment block in Jakarta to arrest a crime boss when things go haywire... To be honest, there isn't much more to the plot than that -

Celda 211 (7/10)
A solid Spanish prison drama. The storyline may not be exceptionally original, but it delivers the premise needed for the actors to do their work: the acting is good and keeps you engaged all the
Pain & Gain (7/10)
Michael Bay + Marky Mark + The Rock…? That doesn’t bode well... So I started watching it with some trepidation. Guess what: it is surprisingly entertaining. No spoilers so I won’t go into the story,
The Maze Runner (6/10)
Yet another teen movie about a dystopian future (is there any other kind in the movies these days?) in the spirit of The Hunger Games and Divergent, with a little bit of Lord of the
