Harry Brown 8/10,just what's wrong with the country.

 

This sounds interesting, like Death Wish in UK. I will watch it.

Free State of Jones - 7.5/10

 

US Civil War true(ish - it's Hollywood) story about a Confederate deserter who returns home to Jones County, Mississippi and starts an insurrection of hundreds of poor farmers and freed/escaped slaves against the Confederacy.

 

A tad overlong and with an unnecessary jump into the 1960s but an interesting glimpse at a bit of overlooked history.

Okja - 7.5/10

 

Enjoyable new Netflix film from Korean director Bong Joon-ho (The Host, Snowpiercer). The newspapers have been reviewing this like it is a family film but it's not at all. The bits set in South Korea at the start of the film could be from a kids film but the second half of it is surprisingly harrowing and graphic as the ruthless corporation behind the marketing is revealed.

 

Special mention to Jake Gyllenhaal for his creepiest performance since Night Crawler and Paul Dano for the hilarious Animal Liberation Front.

Danny Collins - 6/10 - Light comedy drama with Al Pacino as an ageing pop star who has made a career singing other peoples songs but would have rather gone his own way, the receipt of a letter he was sent by John Lennon 40yrs before and knew nothing about changes his views on life.

Unbreakable - 7/10 - Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson in a slow burner, rewarding though.

 

Juggernaut - 7/10 - Great British thriller from '74 with many familiar faces in the cast (even Billy Caspers big brother) quite tense in places.
