The Hitman’s Bodyguard Review
By Ian Morton Although it doesn’t do enough to stay in the mind for long, some interesting action sequences and a brilliant comedy double act will certainly put The Hitman’s Bodyguard toward the top of a particularly average summer season. After falling from grace, ex-triple A rated bodyguard Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds) is drafted in to… Continue reading The Hitman’s Bodyguard Review
Atomic Blonde Review
By Ian Morton While Atomic Blonde certainly has the building blocks for a successful action/thriller, a series of plot issues paired with un-relatable characters holds it back from sparring with the better entries in the genre. Based on the graphic novel of the same name, the plot follows Agent Lorraine Broughton (Charlize Theron) recalling her investigation… Continue reading Atomic Blonde Review
47 Metres Down Review
By Ian Crow The summer blockbusters are steam rolling their way through cinemas. Sometimes it’s nice to break away from the blockbusters that clutter the schedule during the summer.

With another entry in… Continue reading Dunkirk Review

Spider-Man Homecoming Review
By Ian Morton Spider-Man Homecoming is a breath of fresh air for a franchise commonly bogged down in the fateful expectation of an origin story. Following on from the events of Civil War, Homecoming follows Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Tom Holland) as he battles a local weapons syndicate run by Adrian Toomes/The Vulture (Michael Keaton) while balancing the… Continue reading Spider-Man Homecoming Review

Wonder Woman (2017) Review
The DCEU has come under intense scrutiny since the universe first started. Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad equally shared a fist full of punches from every angle towards the finished products.
