Search: Starring Nicholas Rowe

  • Extinction (2019)
    Review preview for Extinction

    It is funny, sharp, and like the best of the short film genre – all creds to director Jack Cooper Stimpson - pretty much every second works towards sketching a neat, clear picture of the issues with minimal lines.

    A political satire about climate change. Focused on the protest group Extinction Rebellion.
  • Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels (1997)

  • Mr. Holmes (2015)

  • Nicholas Nickleby (2002)

    A man tries to save his family - and kids at an abusive school - after they fall on hard times.
  • Seed Of Chucky (2004)
    Review preview for Seed Of Chucky

    You have to be pretty open-minded to endure the morbid humour, but it's the guiltiest pleasure you're likely to have for a long time.

    Gator MacReady · 4 out of 5
    Fifth slice of horror with the demonic doll.
  • Young Sherlock Holmes (1985)
    Review preview for Young Sherlock Holmes
