He’s lost his wife. And his dog. And his car. And his finger. And it’s only going to get worse… Yet already they’re underestimating him, saying even he can’t kill everyone, or some such nonsense. Like me faced with eating a jumbo box of Cadbury’s chocolate fingers, he can and he will. And presumably he’s… John Wick 4? John Wick Phwoar more like — teaser & first-look image released Read More
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?

Copshop 4 stars
On the run from a lethal assassin, a wily con artist devises a scheme to hide out inside a small-town police station-but when the hitman turns up at the precinct, an unsuspecting rookie cop finds herself caught in the crosshairs. It’s all very well working on the assumption that your enemy’s enemy is your friend,… Copshop Read More
The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard 2 stars
Bodyguard Michael Bryce one more teams up with hitman Darius Kincaid, this time to rescue Darius’s wife Sonia. With more motherfuckers than the Tory cabinet, this is not a film for the faint of heart, though the faint of hearing may find themselves counting their blessings. For most of its running time The Hitman’s Wife’s… The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard 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
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….

John Wick: Chapter 2 4.5 stars
One question, asks Julius, the manager of Rome’s Continental hotel. John Wick, the world’s most feared assassin, leans forward to listen: “Are you here for the Pope?” This absurd yet somehow sensible question sums up everything that is so perfect yet at the same time so batshit crazy about John Wick: Chapter 2. Bigger and bolder… John Wick: Chapter 2 Read More
