Search: Starring Thomas Kretschmann

Banderas is convincing in this role but he is the only actor who brings any grace to a movie which is filmed with a dark and obscure filter to match the unredeemingly seedy world it portrays.

It may be full of wonders, but The Celestine Prophecy is untouched by the miracle of good humour.

Although everyone knows the outcome, the film remains riveting.

Long, slow and at times painful.

The performances are generally fine if unremarkable - although it's bizarre that despite Mardenborough’s hometown being in Wales, not a single actor here has a Welsh accent.

There's a difficult place between homage and pastiche, between nostalgia and the new.

Big is back.

Next is never entirely sure how far to go...a waste of an great idea.

Polanski makes a familiar story of persecution and inhumanity utterly fresh.

It looks like a made-for-TV-movie, with nothing cinematic, nothing original

Full of shocks, but disappointingly light on horror.

It looks great, which means it looks terrible - in a real way

The plot is repro sans style. The acting is like an Amazon parcel, half empty

Song is superb in the central role, taking his character through an emotional arc that would be a challenge for any actor, but never less than convincing.

One increasingly unlikely incident follows another, saddling the characters with exceptionally dumb behaviour and silly dialogue until the whole thing goes off the rails.

Screenwriter, Christopher McQuarrie and director Bryan Singer have done a terrific job of resurrecting the Seventies style of war film spiced up with the benefits of modern editing and special effects.

In terms of awesome per second, Wanted just set a new record.
