Search: Starring Jason Statham

The fun in the film comes from the heroes' banter, and one can't help but think that watching them take a bus trip to Alton Towers might have been just as enjoyable.

There's a credited law enforcement consultant, and I will spare their blushes because I actually suspect that there's a more credible depiction of tactics and techniques in the Paw Patrol movies.

The film has some undoubted visual flair.

The central premise takes a little swallowing, but... Cellular is a lovely modern B-movie, with hi-tech gimmickry.

What keeps the film from imploding is its humour, intentional or not.

This isn't filmed for the MTV generation, but for their ADHD-afflicted offspring.

So long as you don't care about how cars go or how reality works or how people can continue to get away with making movies without a single credible acting performance, or anything, you'll almost certainly enjoy yourself.

Tired, bloated, crude, stumbling, and showing its age, Expendables as a franchise is perhaps a reflection of some of its cast.

The Expendables 2 has the cast you feel the first one should've had - though Steven Seagal is really needed to complete the alignment of the planets - but it fails to craft anything really unique on its own with these assets.

This is a giant, proud B-movie, the kind of movie that Hollywood doesn’t put into multiplexes much any more.

You get what you pay for with a little bit of humour to lubricate the violence

This souped up little number comes with plenty of cliche under the bonnet.

While the concept is a quirky, eccentric delight, the film itself rarely feels like anything other than a run-of-the-mill animation of (ahem) garden variety standard.

The tension leaks interest due to a high cliche content.

Tooth-rotting nonsensical entertainment with a chewy action centre.

Boll mistakes unexplained action for plot and hammy dialogue for exposition.

A standard formulaic thriller, dependent upon technological gizmos, buddy-buddy performances and a totally unbelievable storyline.

Having the director's name in the title implies there's another Ghosts Of Mars somewhere. If so, choose it, because this has feathers and won't live to see Christmas.

For exuberance, inventiveness and gut-spilling humour, Guy Ritchie's debut takes some beating.

The film is so predictable, you could lay bets.

Watchable and competent, if ultimately unsatisfying, actioner.

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

There's good craft here, acting and action alike.

The One is a movie which really knows what it's about; but which, sadly, is about all of it within the first ten minutes, at least as far as the plot is concerned.

Probably Ritchie's boldest and most interesting film to date, even if it is also pretentious enough to give his detractors yet another rope to hang him by.

Happily, writer/director Boaz Yakin offers some surprisingly stylish camera work.

Snatch is way over the top, like Lock Stock was, only second time around it doesn't feel so fresh.

The Transporter franchise suffers from some serious engine failure in this too-slickly produced sequel and only just makes it over the finishing line.

You can almost smell the burning rubber - and, indeed, the testosterone.

The Transporter may be simple, but nothing feels mechanical.

As Edwin Starr asked, 'War! (huh) What is it good for?'. On the evidence, it's fair to say 'Absolutely nothing'.

The biggest difference between the book and the film is that I enjoyed the latter enough to want more.
