A screwed-up runaway teenage girl accepts a lift from a Mr Nice Guy, but soon realises he's a notorious serial killer. Having left him for dead she is soon arrested and facing a lifetime in prison, escapes, only to meet the killer again. A high quality, brutally comic, thriller with attitude. Very dark and very good.

GET HARD (2015)

Certification15 Our Rating

"I went into this film thinking that it would be just a dumb comedy, which I happen to love; however, the film exceeded my expectations. It does have funny stupid humour, but there is also an unexpected vulnerability in the two main characters. Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart both portray good guys that are in bad situations. Kevin Hart's character, Darnell, has his own business, but bad credit and lack of savings keeps him and his family living in a rough area. Will Ferrell's character, James, h find out more...

Steven Russell appeared 'normal', a married man and father, a member of Geogia's finest and an organ player at the local church, but a traumatic car-crash radically altered his personality and out of the closet jumped both a flamboyant homosexual, openly throwing cash around, and a conman, whose fraud led him to both prison, from which he escaped 4 times, and total and utter love for a fellow inmate.
This is the Jim Carrey of old, a madcap comedian rather the more subtle actor of 'Eterna find out more...

Vinnie Jones plays a washed up football superstar (and we accuse the Americans of having no irony) in jail for assaulting a police officer and forced by the prison governor to put together a football team from the odd job of inmates in a match against the prison wardens. Mean Machine is a carbon copy (including the title) of an American film starring Burt Reynolds, which was a hard brutal affair that also had much grim humour. This British offering is like an alcohol free version of Bourbon..... find out more...

Ex-pro quarterback Paul Crewe, residing in the local state prison, is coerced into putting together a football team by the warden, who wants to see his prison guard team win the national championship, but, though the match is supposed to be little more than a walk over for the guards, how can you truly persuade a dozen hardened, warden hating, criminals to lie down and take a beating? Mean Machine is leaner, meaner, harder and funnier than the recent remake starring Vinnie Jones, oh....and the c find out more...
