Dragged Across Concrete is a film I was really looking forward to watching, particularly because Brawl In Cell Block 99 completely blew me away. Not only was Brawl… a fantastic plot-driven piece with some juicy 18-certificate violence where required, but it also changed the way I thought about Vince Vaughn. I only knew him for […]

I’ve still to see Zahler’s Bone Tomahawk, but I heard nothing but good things about that. Vaughn showed he was fantastic in a drama role – and a million miles away from his […]
The Bombing (aka Air Strike) takes place in China where everyone is obsessed with an annual Mahjong contest, despite floods, droughts and, now, World War II. I thought I’d signed up to watch an action movie, not ‘Play Chess (’80s daytime series). Similarly, the dialogue feels like something from a bad soap opera, and even […]

Two-time Spider-Man Andrew Garfield is WWII American Army medic Desmond T Doss, who served during the Battle of Okinawa, and has a conscience that might get him killed… but obviously won’t because otherwise […]
Blood Father stars Mel Gibson (now only making sporadica film appearances) as John Link, an ex-con who reunites with his estranged wayward 16-year old daughter, Ursula (Elisabeth Röhm), doing his best to protect her from drug dealers who are trying to kill her. Directed by Jean-François Richet (Mesrine Part 1: Killer Instinct, Mesrine Part 2: […]
The Expendables 3 is out to buy on Blu-ray and DVD, just before Christmas arrives, as also happened in 2010 and 2012 with the first two films, but this time round, we have the film in an extended form. “Hurrah!”, I thought. Since we were so bereft of blood and guts in the cinema version, […]

The first one, directed by Sylvester Stallone, had a great opening 10 minutes, a great final 30 minutes, and naff all inbetween. The […]
