Wrath Of Man 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

9th May 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A mysterious new recruit to a cash security firm soon reveals himself to be there for entirely different reasons. There’s something rather relaxing about watching a film where so many characters are morally suspect. You can just sit back and enjoy the ride, rather than stress over your favourite dying at the last moment. In… Wrath Of Man Read More

Locked Down 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

14th January 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Just as they decide to separate, Linda and Paxton find life has other plans when they are stuck at home in a mandatory lockdown.  It may have more holes than my bubbling sourdough starter, but I enjoyed Locked Down a lot more than I enjoyed lockdown, the claustrophobia-induced frenzy of Doug Liman’s film all too… Locked Down Read More

Locked Down but not out: new trailer

6th January 2021 by Sarah

*** My review and article are now live – also the UK release is now 11 March, for home rental *** “Oi, how many arses have you got?” asks Paxton of a loo roll stockpiler coming out of shop in London during Lockdown 1.0. Despite its UK lockdown hook, Locked Down is actually a heist… Locked Down but not out: new trailer Read More

A gamble takes flight in new trailer for airborne heist movie Money Plane

10th June 2020 by Sarah

Money Plane does look like the best kind of daft straight-to-digital action thriller, from back in the day when not every film went straight to digital (ie February). If it had been made in five years’ time it would have starred Gerard Butler. And while I’m sure there are easier ways to steal a lot… A gamble takes flight in new trailer for airborne heist movie Money Plane Read More

American Animals 4.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

7th September 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Only the privileged and those with nothing left to lose would decide to steal 12 million dollars’ worth of rare books from the local university library, after a planning process that mostly involves watching movies and searching online how to carry out a robbery. They even forget to buy the taser. Not only do they… American Animals Read More

Ocean’s 8 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

19th June 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I can’t be the only person watching Ocean’s 8 who thought Rose Weil’s flower-covered paniered frock, presumably based on those rich Regency ladies who liked to play at being milkmaids, was the best Met Gala look. Played by Helena Bonham Cartier, I mean Carter, Rose is a washed-up fashion designer known for her Edwardian frills… Ocean’s 8 Read More

A Bad Idea Gone Wrong 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

10th June 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

“This is the saddest heist in the long-storied history of crime” says first-time burglar Marlon as he and fellow future felon Leo attempt to escape from a house they’ve broken into and are now unable to leave. That title is accurate and inaccurate, luckily for the right reasons. This is an engaging movie with a… A Bad Idea Gone Wrong Read More

Den Of Thieves 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

2nd February 2018 by Sarah 18 Comments

At 140 minutes long, while you’re watching Den Of Thieves there will have been three bank robberies in Los Angeles. That’s one every 48 minutes. It genuinely doesn’t feel overlong though, and I say that as someone who firmly believes that all Gerard Butler films over two hours should have pelvic floor exercises on the… Den Of Thieves Read More
