Precinct 13 is facing its last night as an active police station, only a skeleton staff is kept on, but then nobody is expecting any trouble, and as a blizzard rages outside everyone settles down for an uneventful evening. A prison bus, no longer able to cope with the weather conditions pulls up to the precinct, and discharges a motley selection of prisoners, one of them a recently convicted high profile ganglord. What follows is a lethally one sided siege, convicts and cops forced into an uneas find out more...

It's 2010 and a wall has been built around Paris's most criminally inclined neighbourhood, a prison of sorts but run by the inmates, all of whom answer to the lord of it all, Taha. However when Taha kidnaps the sister of heroic loner Leito his days immediately become numbered. I fear I've over complicated the plot being as this makes Taxi look overly wordy, but 'District 13' is all about the action and the ‘Free Running' set pieces have to be one of the most mesmerising expressions of physical a find out more...

Crockett and Tubbs are two super-cool, super-tough undercover Miami cops, but their latest gig takes them so deep into the world of major drug-trafficking that it becomes increasingly difficult to find a way out in anything other than a coffin. Michael Mann returns to his iconic TV series and makes a smooth, pacey, big screen retread, where two dimensional characters and a barely present storyline mercifully take a back seat to the slick action. find out more...

One of the great masters of martial arts directs, sings and performs jaw-dropping stunts. Brilliant fight scenes and stunts performed by the star himself, and a lot of humour as well! If you like this sort of film you won't be disappointed with the man they call "Hong Kong Hills Cop". find out more...

Joey Gazelle is a caring family guy, he's also a mobster flunky, then one fateful day he decides to hang on to a gun used in a mob killing and his two worlds collide, because, unfortunately for Joey, his young son's best mate uses the gun to shoot his abusive father, a man linked to the Russian mafia, and our dubious hero has very little time to the find the weapon and the child.

A bunch of likely London lads are hired to rob a bank of its safety deposit boxes, but unfortunately this bunch of amateurs aren't really the best outfit to pull the job off. While the robbery doesn't go exactly according to plan, the scandal that they inadvertently bring to light may become the boys' best hope of dodging a very long stretch at Her Majesty's pleasure, or worse. Apparently based loosely on a true event, Princess Margaret(?) Lord Lambton(?), the Bank Job is a highly enjoyable, pac find out more...

A totally seductive knockabout movie with Robert Mitchum 'Duke' and Jane Greer 'Chiquita Graham' in fine form. Duke has to catch the culprit for a payroll heist to prove his own innocence and shake off a pursuing army officer, a chase that takes him to Mexico, where he meets Chiquita, who is independently after the same con-man, and here they find action, adventure and romance. A fast paced narrative with an outstanding supporting cast, especially Ramon Novarro as Inspector General Ortega. find out more...
