Search: Starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw

Despite Gugu Mbatha-Raw's fine interpretation, the film feels predictable, as if it were fiction and not based on real events.

While the film's more nostalgic elements are likely to help to keep adults on board it is also invigorated, not only by Goodhill's unorthodox approach to the works but also by the diverse casting.

The action scenes in general are well put together, and good use is made of the potential for things to go wrong in space without resorting to too many familiar devices.

"Every man is a man. It's as simple as that."

One admires the cleverness of it, while wondering if there really are people who live like this.

Apart from the women/cattle cliche it is difficult to tell where the dagger of disapproval is directed.

Edward Norton has taken risks all down the line and proves himself capable of unquestionable courage in storytelling.

Sentiment aside, there is real charm at work here, with beautifully photographed locations and good chemistry between the leads.

The climax of Adam and Alice’s vengeance becomes so extreme that it veers into black farce. As a thriller it’s tight and gripping enough.
