Copshop: who is the bad guy?
Very spoilery, including the ending. Watch the movie first! Also, is the plural of man-bun man-buns or men-bun? (If you’re after my review of Copshop, it’s here.) I’m not angry, Teddy, just… disappointed. I have only myself to blame though. When someone tells you who they are, listen, and that includes having a man-bun, or… Copshop: who is the bad guy?

The Rhythm Section: two new clips released
Two new clips have been released for The Rhythm Section, Reed Morano’s thriller which hit UK cinemas yesterday (Friday). We’re almost at the stage where you can watch all the clips and not go and see the film, which would be a shame as while the movie is certainly flawed, there’s a lot to like… The Rhythm Section: two new clips released Read More
The Rhythm Section 3 stars
As a baby assassin, Stephanie Patrick (Blake Lively) is rough and not particularly ready, moving either too fast or too slowly. She’s three-quarters trained, and “B” (Jude Law) has done everything he can for her. That last 25%, when she finds out if she can actually put a bullet in someone’s head without pausing first,… The Rhythm Section Read More
“All this, because of a puppy?” Me to me, after writing 4,000 words on the John Wick trilogy…
“You dip so much as a pinky back into this pond, you may well find something reaches out and drags you back into its depths”, says Winston to John in the first John Wick film, but he ignored the warning and so will we. It’s going to be a bumpy, rain-soaked night… Since the first film,… “All this, because of a puppy?” Me to me, after writing 4,000 words on the John Wick trilogy… Read More

READ MY FULL REVIEW OF JOHN WICK 3: PARABELLUM
John Wick 3: Parabellum 4.5 stars
Si vis pacem, para bellum – if you want peace, prepare for war – is the Latin maxim from which this film’s title comes, quoted by Continental Hotel manager Winston (Ian McShane). This is indeed a climactic battle, if sometimes a proxy one, between two ageing institutions – the High Table, a ruling elite that… John Wick 3: Parabellum Read More
Polar 1.5 stars
I hate to admit this but the only time I laughed out loud during John Wick 3: Parky Bottom, I mean Polar, was when something terrible happened to the cute dog. Based on the comic series of the same name, Polar mixes dark brooding and methodical kills with trashy, flashy, searingly bright gunfests to weird… Polar Read More
Finally A Trailer About The World’s Top Assassin! No Not That One
*** Read my review of Polar now *** Mads Mikkelsen is Duncan Vizla, the World’s Top Assassin (Ret’d), brought out of retirement because someone killed his owl. I’m kidding about the owl bit. But there is the World’s Top Owl in the trailer. No. He’s brought out of retirement to deal with a group of… Finally A Trailer About The World’s Top Assassin! No Not That One Read More
Killing Gunther 3 stars
Say what you like about Gunther and his 50-year kill tally, he’s certainly earned his title as the World’s Best Assassin through sheer hard work, dilligence and commitment. Not for him an Instagram account with pictures of chalk body outlines on floors, a #HitmansLife hashtag and a feeling-blessed emoji after another murder without legal consequences….
