Search: Starring Garrett Hedlund

A bittersweet vision of America barrelling down a two-lane road to nowhere.

Death Sentence is a gritty throwback to the films of the Seventies like Death Wish, and it has you rooting all the way for this ordinary man to dish out his own brand of justice.

The film has more violent action than a PG-certificate dares admit to and looks suitably legendary.

Instantly forgettable.

Friday Night Lights never wavers in its commitment to that perfect, quintessentially American moment.

The pace may seem deliberate but the Coens obviously want us to uncover the character's layers gently rather than him being delivered ready-made.

Both Hedlund and Mitchell deliver strong performances and balance well against one another.

Visual indigestion and intellectual flatulence

You are unlikely to see a better-looking film this year or a film that is more of its moment – but if you see this a few years hence, it will no doubt already have started looking as redundant as an Eighties arcade game.

Day not only captures the vocals perfectly, which is no mean feat considering the smoke in Holiday's voice, but gives a feel for the star, retaining a sense of steely resolve in the face of alcoholism, heroin addiction and her often violent relationships
