| 4/5 | 83% | Patti Cake$ (2017) |
A story we've seen told a hundred times before feels fresh thanks to Danielle Macdonald's brilliant performance, handling both the drama and the rapping in style.‐ Empire Magazine

| 4/5 | 94% | SHOT!: The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra of Rock (2017) |
As well as a gifted photographer, Rock is a raconteur, with the subjects of his stories needing no introduction. But the real stars of the show here are his pictures, and that is as it should be.‐ Empire Magazine

| 4/5 | 43% | Aftermath (2017) |
After a depressingly anonymous start, the rebirth of Arnie finally hits its stride with a great, low key performance that should get him back to where he belongs in the public consciousness.‐ Empire Magazine

| 1/5 | 3% | Arsenal (2017) |
The combined charms of Nicolas Cage and John Cusack might just have been able to save this made-for-VOD thriller, but they are both left on the sidelines.‐ Empire Magazine

| 3/5 | 33% | Operation Chromite (2016) |
It's strange to watch a war epic and think that what it could do with less of are the gravelly Liam Neeson speeches. But that is exactly what happens here.‐ Empire Magazine

| 4/5 | 92% | I Am Not a Serial Killer (2016) |
O'Brien here both successfully reintroduces Max Records to the world, and elicits Christopher Lloyd's best performance in a long time. His film deserves cult classic status at the very least.‐ Empire Magazine

| 3/5 | 48% | Dog Eat Dog (2016) |
Hackneyed and somewhat dated Tarantino-isms abound. But for the committed fan of such things, there is more than enough to enjoy here ...‐ Empire Magazine

| 3/5 | 94% | Gimme Danger (2016) |
The Stooges' story is a natural fit for the silver screen. Unfortunately, superfan Jim Jarmusch's love letter to them does not quite do it justice.‐ Empire Magazine

| 2/5 | 19% | Rupture (2017) |
Despite an intriguing premise, an impossible-to-buy plot contrivance and a deeply unsatisfying ending put paid to this sci-fi psycho-thriller.‐ Empire Magazine
