  • A Bunch Of Amateurs (2008)
    Review preview for A Bunch Of Amateurs

    It’s all incredibly creaky, decidedly low budget and, despite being co-written by Private Eye’s Ian Hislop, all rather toothless and low on chuckles.

    A Hollywood agent tricks an ageing action star into appearing as King Lear in an amdram production.
  • Death Of A Salesman (1985)
    Review preview for Death Of A Salesman

    A sterling, if uncinematic adaptation, without pretence or frippery which could dilute the potency of performances or writing.

    Scott Macdonald · 4.5 out of 5
    The definitive telling of Arthur Miller's classic play.
  • Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
    Review preview for Dog Day Afternoon

    A compelling and powerful character piece.

    Stephen Carty · 5 out of 5
    A bank job goes horribly wrong.
  • Good Dick (2008)
    Review preview for Good Dick

    Despite dealing with some very heavy issues Palka has a surprisingly light touch, levening the more bleak moments with some rich, dark comedy.

    Amber Wilkinson · 4 out of 5
    Offbeat romance between a damaged young woman and with Marianna Palka and Jason Ritter.
  • The Sting (1973)
    Review preview for The Sting

    The characters are outrageous and entertaining.

    Trash Fletcher · 3 out of 5
    Paul Newman and Robert Redford are itinerant con men during The Depression.
  • Twilight's Last Gleaming (1977)
    Review preview for Twilight's Last Gleaming

    The tension escalates well in the first half; it slackens a bit later, but by then the film has had time to develop its broader themes and introduce different types of existential threat.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5
    A renegade general takes over a nuclear missile silo and starts making demands.
