REVIEW: Wrath of Man
(spoiler free) Riddle me this: when was the last time Guy Ritchie made something truly memorable? And I don’t mean just “enjoyable”, like his adaptation of The Man From U.N.C.L.E., but a full-fledged masterclass at filmmaking. Probably Snatch, right? His last few movies, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and Aladdin, were disastrous corporate-filled slogs,…

Hobbs & Shaw
(spoiler free) Now miles away from its franchise roots ‘Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw’ is the first spin-off from what began as series of simple street racing films. ‘Deadpool 2’ director David Leitch is behind the steering wheel for this entry with series regular Chris Morgan, along with the help of Drew Pearce…

Two Decades of Deep Blue Sea, and the Wave of Shark Thrillers that Followed in its Wake.
(spoilers) We all know that Steven Spielberg’s classic, ‘Jaws’ is the best shark film of all time, that’s not up for discussion. However, is there really even any other fishy films nipping at its cinematic tail fin? Twenty years ago Director Renny Harlin’s now cult classic, ‘Deep Blue Sea’ swam into cinemas for the summer…

The Meg
(spoiler free) In recent years there have been a tidal wave of ridiculously over the top creature features, many of which showcasing killer sharks of all shapes and sizes. However, whilst the B-movie scene was churning them out the big screen decided to opt for a more grounded approach with tense shark thrillers like ‘The…

The Fate of the Furious
(spoiler free) Who would have thought after watching the very first film in this franchise back in 2001 that it still wouldn’t have run out of gas by 2017!? If you feel like you have some catching up to do why not check out my retrospective of the series to date; ‘Fast and Furious: The…

Fast & Furious: The Race So Far
(spoilers) With ‘The Fate of the Furious’, the eight installment in the Fast and Furious series, hitting cinemas I thought it would be fun to take a look back at the Fast journey so far. Multiple cast members, several directors, plenty of quarter miles and a stupid amount of nos have accelerated this franchise into…

Mechanic: Resurrection
(spoiler free) Jason Statham is one of the best action stars working today, he has done countless films where he wages a one man war on his foes. There have been mixed results over the years, some are really fun whilst others are just too silly. Recently he has become more of an ensemble cast…

Hardcore Henry
(spoiler free) The above poster for ‘Hardcore Henry’ is ace in my opinion. It very much intrigued me and it doesn’t really give too much away. For several weeks this poster was the entirety of my knowledge regarding the film. It wasn’t until a few days ago when I saw some clips from the film…

Fast & Furious 7 (Cinema Screening)
(spoiler free) Fast & Furious is easily one of my favourite film franchises, I am a big fan. I’m not just fan of the crazy stunts, awesome cars and flat out action but also the tremendous heart that is present throughout the entire series which is so often overlooked. Since Paul Walkers tragic death in…

Wild Card (Cinema Screening)
(spoiler free) Statham has achieved a status with me that he could star in any movie and I would still be excited for it. I managed to avoid all trailers and info for Wild Card – all I knew was that it was set in Vegas and Statham was the leading man, like I needed…
