1999 and Sierra Leone is in the midst of civil war, the rebels infamously using an army of indoctrinated children to do their genocidal work. In the midst of this bloodshed two unlikely men are drawn together, one a desperate father whose son has become a rebel soldier, the other a self-serving white Rhodesian mercenary in search of an immense uncut diamond. The two are bound together by their wildly divergent, but inextricably linked, quests and it is here that the action of the film lies as th

NATIONAL TREASURE 2: BOOK OF SECRETS (2007)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Access to 'The Book of Secrets', which only the Presidents of America are privy to, is altruistic treasure hunter Ben Gate's latest 'mission impossible' and with it he must find/save ‘the city of lost gold' from those who would do bad. As soon as National Treasure 2 finished I had immediately forgotten what had happened; but it's sub-Indiana Jones doing the Da Vinci Code, big-of-budget, tongue-in-cheek, relentlessly paced popcorn movie-making of the highest (lowest?) order, and that PG certifica

TAKEN (2008)
Certification18 Our Rating
Bryan is an ex-government operative whose job title, whilst slightly unclear, had involved being able to kill anyone with just about anything. When Bryan's teenage daughter is kidnapped by slave traders he launches into a one-man mission to make them realise what a huge mistake they've made. 'Taken' is a balls out action thriller with a smattering of schmaltz (paternal love), some pretty reactionary viewpoints and some awesomely two dimensional baddies, just in case you were thinking of doubting

THE ROCK (1996)
Certification15 Our Rating
He might have collected his bus pass, but our Sean proves he's still as hard as they come in this explosive thriller. When a disgruntled General and his men hole themselves up in Alcatraz with a cache of chemical weapons and a bevvy of hostages, it's up to Connery and Cage, a chemical warfare boffin with a penchant for The Beatles, to save the day. Edge-of-the-seat actioner.

TRANSPORTER 3 (2008)
Certification15 Our Rating
Besuited Statham gets into a shiny black car, Audi S8, and transports a sexy abductee (Natalya Rudakova) from Marseille to Odessa, stopping occasionally to beat people up (suit off first) and racing his car in some mean chases. Excellent action packed fun and possibly the best of the series.

WARRIOR KING (2005)
Certification18 Our Rating
Kham is the last of a family line with strong connections to elephants and, when two of his four legged brothers are abducted and taken to Australia to be turned into posh-nosh, Kham gives chase and darn when the boy's angry he's pretty handy. 'Warrior King' is Tony Jaa's follow on to 'Ong Bak' and, like that film, is a relentless piece of beautifully choreographed, stunningly executed, bone crushing ballet and introduces the novel martial art of muaykodchasarn, elephant bone boxing for you mono
