Cop goes undercover to reveal Britain’s heroin habit in trailer for crime drama Bluff

5th May 2022 by Sarah

The truth will get you killed… New British crime drama Bluff is British-Bangladeshi screenwriter and producer Sheikh Shahnawaz’s feature directorial debut, though he has an impressively extensive short film CV including Friend Request (2015), Stalker (2016), Duality (2018), The Woods (2018) and Trick (2018). In the film, a London police officer goes undercover as a heroin addict in… Cop goes undercover to reveal Britain’s heroin habit in trailer for crime drama Bluff Read More

Gunpowder Milkshake 2.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

17th September 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

When a high-risk job goes wrong, hitwoman Sam must choose between serving The Firm and protecting the life of an innocent child, helped by her mother and three lethal librarians. This is another film with an assassins’ underground world hiding in plain sight within ours. Parallel universes bumping up against each other, they are all… Gunpowder Milkshake Read More

Knives Out 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

28th November 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

The greatest mysteries tend to have simple, even prosaic explanations: motives can mostly be distilled down to love or/of money. In Rian Johnson’s traditional murder-mystery, Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is rich and lonely, with a huge grasping family so used to him paying for them that they’ve forgotten that he doesn’t have to (though he… Knives Out Read More

Stanley A Man Of Variety 2.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

13th March 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Stanley is incarcerated in a grim-looking institution, and has been for some years. He studies books in the library to assess whether he’s entitled to a hearing; or he’s cleaning the floors with his mop and metal bucket. Or he’s watching cassettes of old comedies, the shiny white brick walls of his narrow cell decorated with… Stanley A Man Of Variety Read More

King Of Crime 1.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

21st January 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

King Of Crime starts off pretty well. It’s got the British gangster flick trademarks we all recognise, from the big house to the London-accented ageing crime boss to the blonde wife and feuding kids. Plus violence – early on and shockingly abrupt, as if to warn us that this isn’t going to be a “salt… King Of Crime Read More

The Old Man And The Gun 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

9th December 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

“This story, also, is mostly true”, says the title card at the beginning of David Lowery’s stylish and witty film, presumably referring not just to facts but also because it is clearly Forrest’s truth, that myth of a smart and courteous gentleman thief who still threatens his victims, terribly politely, with a gun.

Widows 4.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

7th November 2018 by Sarah 2 Comments

Widows is a bold and blazing movie that positions complicated women firmly at the centre, yet still finds time for little scenes which deal with the complexities of grief, the numbness and the desperation for physical contact, even when a dead husband has been a vicious waste of space. (How often is a death or… Widows Read More

Holmes & Watson Trailer Is Certainly Elementary

29th September 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

UPDATE: Read my Holmes & Watson review now. Our queens have to put up with a lot when meeting the Great British Public, but Victoria’s audience with Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson at Buckingham Palace must stretch even her reserves of decorum to breaking point. She’s probably the only person who could maintain that blank… Holmes & Watson Trailer Is Certainly Elementary Read More

Bad Santa 2 1.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

16th December 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

It’s probably not a great idea to include the line “welcome to the shitstorm” in your sequel as the temptation for disgruntled movie reviewers to start their review with it is just so strong. Luckily I am more creative than that. But unfortunately Bad Santa 2 is really not a great movie. Where the first… Bad Santa 2 Read More
