East meets West and kicks butt in a dazzling collaboration between Welsh-born writer-director Gareth Evans and Indonesia’s most daring fight choreographers and stunt performers.
FILM REVIEW: The Dictator (15)
Sacha Baron Cohen atones for the sins of Bruno with this gleefully bad taste fish-out-of-water comedy, which kicks sand in the eye of political correctness.

Cultural stereotypes provide cheap and easy laughs in Julie Delpy’s boisterous sequel to her 2007 amuse-bouche, 2 Days In Paris.

Punch & Judy, donkey rides, sandcastles and candy floss are in disappointingly short supply in Adrian Grunberg’s grimy and darkly comic thriller.

As the title of Boaz Yakin’s testosterone-fuelled game of cat and mouse intimates, we’re in familiar territory here with hard man Jason Statham.
FILM REVIEW: The Lucky One (12A)
Based on a book by Nicholas Sparks, who also penned The Notebook and Dear John, The Lucky One follows a similar template - hunky guy, beautiful girl, deathly spectre of war - to chronicle the efforts of a battle-hardened Marine (Zac Efron) to track down the divorced mom (Taylor Schilling), whose photograph literally saved his life behind enemy lines.
FILM REVIEW: American Pie: Reunion (15)
There is a moment in the fourth and hopefully final slice of the American Pie series when lovable Jim Levenstein (Jason Biggs) loses his patience with sex-obsessed man-child Stifler (Seann William Scott) and laments: “You’re so trapped in the past. When are you going to realise things will never be the way they used to be?”
