  • Revengers Tragedy (2002)
    Review preview for Revengers Tragedy

    The narrative is so out-of-focus and the characters so unrealistic one cannot figure out exactly what universe the film inhabits.

    Gator MacReady · 2 out of 5
    A modern day adaptation of Thomas Middleton's 17th century stage play.
  • Repo Man (1984)
    Review preview for Repo Man

    If late punk era filmmaking was all about style over substance, Alex Cox's seminal work has buckets of both.

    Jennie Kermode · 5 out of 5
    The intense life of a young punk repo man in a city haunted by a car with a secret.
  • Sid And Nancy (1986)
    Review preview for Sid And Nancy

    A story like this could easily have been utterly bleak, despite the powerful music. It is to Cox's credit that he packs it full of energy and humour that keep one gripped right up until the end.

    Jennie Kermode · 4 out of 5
    Biopic focusing on the last few months of The Sex Pistols' Sid Vicious and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen.
  • The Winner (1996)
    Review preview for The Winner

    For all its black humour, sexiness and intrigue, The Winner is lacking something in the final analysis.

    Keith Dudhnath · 3 out of 5
    A gambler on a winning streak finds that others will stop at nothing to get their hands on his cash.
