Search: Starring Cliff Curtis

Entirely constructed from flaws, it's in a class with Ultraviolet.

Where the story stumbles, the film is carried forward by action.

Ponderous but glorious.

We’re asked to shimmy up huge drainpipes of disbelief, over and above the basic premise, which means you care little about what’s going on when the chunky exposition tries to set you straight.

To be a winner you must believe

While its action and tone are robust and entertaining, it feels over-familiar, overconfident, and over-long.

Seldom in cinema has eschatology been treated with such intelligence, or inspired such aching awe.

Fracture is clever, masterfully controlled by an actor whose love affair with the camera never seems to wane.

Establishing shots of boats and docks and archive footage are not only more genuine than the film's version of events but more convincing.

CGI shocks don't shiver your timbers because you've been here, seen that, and what's left is betting on who's next for Meg's brekky

With darker themes filtered through the turmoil of adolescence, Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic’s début feature mingles picture postcard imagery with scenes of fish being hacked to pieces, blood and guts part of the day to day order of life.

Overall, the film looks fantastic. The special-effects work, which took a year of post-production to complete, wouldn’t look out of place in a movie with ten times the budget.

Don't be fooled into thinking this is just another buddy-buddy war picture. It is something really rather unique.

There have been great police corruption movies - Sidney Lumet's Q&A comes to mind - but usually they are more subtle than this.

Deftly avoiding cliches, it interweaves traditional and modern elements so smoothly that one scarcely notices the contrast.
