Search: Starring Kerry Condon

Dean Devlin's thriller is well structured and features cleverly thought out action sequences that maximise the potential in simple shifts of power.

Banshees is lifted by good performances, particularly from Keoghan and Condon, whose major scene together has a delicacy of emotion that is sharply at odds with the brute force McDonagh more generally employs.

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

Seated in the front-row of the cinema, it's hard not to lean into corners. Once you're committed to that the rest follows.

With plenty of meat for its fine cast to chew on, the film is often intense but never loses its nuance.

Though the destination of The Last Station holds some interest, much of the journey is far too dull.

Drab and strangely unfocused.

Funny, moving and endlessly surprising.

Fortunately, McDormand never lets Mildred's hold on us slip, balancing the conundrum of a woman who is simultaneously a mum, who likes a beer and a game of pool, and a Rambo-style avenging angel.

There are no doubt those who would argue this magic-hour drenched vision of America through the 1900s is a bit too chocolate-boxy for their liking but the weight of tradition can exert an impressive pull and does so here.

Unusually powerful, due to Besson's ability to interweave shockingly brutal violence with intimate human storylines.
