The Legend of Hercules (2014) |
Less 300, more 2.99: cheap in every sense of the word but the cost - and all the more glorious because of it. - One Room With A View

Afternoon Delight (2013) |
A little film with little to say - but what it does, it does with a refreshing conviction and winning performances. - One Room With A View

Last Love (2013) |
A near-glacial two hours that somehow forgets to explore two of its more interesting characters - an impressive feat considering it only really has three to begin with. - One Room With A View

3 Days to Kill (2014) |
A McG film... based on a story by Luc Besson. So why isn't it more enjoyable? - One Room With A View

The Canyons (2013) |
A movie decrying movies, funded and released online, shot and acted like reality TV - maybe its existence says more than its dialogue, but that doesn't make it any more engaging. - One Room With A View

Therese (2013) |
All filler no thriller; a film which uses its fine cast to meander around tame scenes of lust before pulling back from either sustained darkness or levity... - One Room With A View

The Last Days on Mars (2013) |
That it never feels like we're actually on the red planet shouldn't matter, but when everything else is so familiar, it's a little disappointing. - One Room With A View

Frozen (2013) |
There are laughs aplenty, memorable tunes galore, and enough subversions of old tropes to make Frozen fresh. - One Room With A View

The Class of '92 (2013) |
An easy, enjoyable ninety minutes that features Eric Cantona taking time out from Kronenbourg adverts to unbutton his shirt halfway and muse on Becks et al., providing the "perfect script". - One Room With A View

Grudge Match (2013) |
Equivalent to finding an old Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots in the attic, gripping the dust-covered handles and rockin' 'n' sockin' for a whole two hours before re-boxing it up for good. - One Room With A View

Lone Survivor (2013) |
Lone Survivor resembles an extended recruitment advert for the first half and a snoozily detached war movie for the second - which is fitting because that's what it is. - One Room With A View

Ride Along (2014) |
If your eardrums can take it, Ride Along is perfectly inoffensive, incredibly unrealistic, adequately paced, completely forgettable, and (somehow) a massive success Stateside. - One Room With A View

The Book Thief (2013) |
It may span the most significant decades of last century, but The Book Thief pretty much boils down to girl-lives-with-family, girl-learns-to-read - for two hours. - One Room With A View

This Is Where I Leave You (2014) |
Though neither as funny nor as moving as it might hope - once you factor out the cloying guitar - This is Where I Leave You skates by on the likeability of its cast. - One Room With A View

Honeymoon (2014) |
Eschewing jump-scares and shouty-bang-bang, Honeymoon is successfully gripping as it weaves towards an enigmatic truth. Credit to Leslie and Treadaway for their newlyweds in love, in doubt, in shock, in despair. - One Room With A View

Draft Day (2014) |
Though not as incompetent as the majority of its characters for a film that begins with a countdown on "a day where lives are changed and fates are decided", Draft Day presents bafflingly little tension and precious little point. - One Room With A View

The Gambler (2014) |
Thanks to the presence of Goodman, Larson and Lange we're presented with a stacked deck, so how come it feels like we spend two hours holding the bridge rules card? - One Room With A View

Two Night Stand (2014) |
Director Max Nichols serves up a few laughs but otherwise allows Two Night Stand to inch towards its status as predictable, bland Valentine's fare you might select having exhausted Netflix's other "Quirky Romance" options. - One Room With A View

The Wedding Ringer (2015) |
14 years after it was actually written, The Wedding Ringer finally makes it to screen. Was it worth it? Well, no, but... Had it been released all those years ago the story might be different - One Room With A View

Seventh Son (2014) |
It's too often a chore to make out Seventh's beautiful countryside and cast members through the frequent eye rolls that some truly terrible dialogue and a limp love story induces. - One Room With A View

Everly (2014) |

Good People (2014) |
In its favour, there's a slick appreciation for the locale - refreshingly drab environments and convincing interiors. But when you catch yourself nodding at set-dressing, it speaks volumes about what's happening around it. - One Room With A View

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) |
No music mockumentary can resist comparison with This Is Spinal Tap (and no review can resist making it) but Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping does a pretty fantastic job of updating the expectations, the personalities and the music to today. - One Room With A View
