Bullet Train (2022) |
Buoyed by Leitch’s expert eye for action as well as one of the most hilariously disposable A-list casts around, the film has Friday night written all over it. - Total Film

The Green Knight (2021) |
Anyone who's followed Lowery's career won't be surprised to see how skilfully everything comes together... but this still feels like a big, bold new step for the director. - NME

Riders of Justice (2020) |
A dark, funny, smart spin on the revenge movie that's almost sure to be ruined by a Hollywood remake. - NME

Army of Thieves (2021) |
There's probably a sweet and slick little safe-cracker comedy buried somewhere beneath the bloat, but the film's stake in Snyder's content farm leaves it feeling overlong, underweight and slightly unnecessary. - NME

The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018) |

Bad Boys for Life (2020) |
Smith is Smith, Lawrence is Lawrence, and they both look really cool when they shoot people, which is exactly what you want out of a Bad Boys movie. Unless, of course, you want a load of rampant misogyny as well, in which case, go watch Bad Boys II again. - NME

Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) |
Far more charming, coherent and less chaotic than expected, Sonic the Hedgehog succeeds where Cats failed and successfully reverses its pre-determined narrative set out by the Internet. - NME

Rising High (2020) |
Kross, Lau and Uhse all do a great job with what they have - Kross in particular standing out with a range that spans wide-eyed kid to slick city boy, through wannabe chancer and everything in-between - but the script isn't quite strong enough to keep up. - NME
