Search: Starring Joan Allen

Performances by the entire cast are flawless. Paul Greengrass directs with energy and precision.

This is about car/motorbike chases, ruthless corruption at the highest level, a focused defense of one man’s pursuit of truth and ... the hint of romance.

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.

Cheerful, bullet-strewn entertainment.

James Schamus's script is sharp and witty. Lee is very good at getting affecting performances out of actors, especially the younger ones.

Cox's Hannibal is a masterclass in moderation.

The cinematography is packaged in a red-ribboned chocolate box, with emphasis on gut-melting sunsets, riverscapes and white birds aflying.

The film springboards into carefully balanced comedy, and surprising social commentary.

A visually inventive, genuinely moving, yet understated drama of captivity and hope, which also sings a quiet tribute to the power of creative maternal impulses.

Acting of this calibre can change the world, if only for a moment.

John Mackenzie, who made the neo-classic Brit mobster movie, The Long Good Friday, 21 years ago, directs with a similar degree of commitment.

Amazingly for a film so teeming with ideas, it unspools in clean, lucid scenes of near Spartan simplicity.
