Search: Starring Nick Moran

Colouring the palette with romance and sad music is no distraction and only adds to the fact that this film is deeply unfulfilling.

That we stick with her through this is down to the magnetism of Kurylenko’s performance.

It’s really Kurylenko's work that gives the film its emotional core, but action fans need not worry: she still delivers some impressive kicks, and gets to jump away from a petrol explosion.

Whilst Hounded doesn’t have a great deal to add to the premise, it does have well-drawn characters and a capable young cast who are well worth watching.

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

The filmmaking is rough and ready, with a certain lack of finesse, but Bicat's sense of humour prevails.

It becomes quite grim and, although by no means perfect, uses the genre expectations to con the audience as well.

It's got some pretty dark moments, and some dark moments that are pretty.
