But the man who commands them wants out; the unrelenting brutality of his job is beginning to fracture both his mind and family life. The Captain has one goal: to find a worthy replacement, untainted by the corruption that riddles his fellow colleagues, and the potential shows itself in the form of two very different but

A multi-stranded tale of tragedy after tragedy unfolds against an icy Finnish backdrop. Following the sacking of a school teacher we follow a chain of misfortune from victim to victim; a loser car-thief, an ex-alcoholic vacuum salesman, who falls off the wagon in spectacular style, a depressed policewoman, a computer hacker and the policewoman's husband amongst others. A dark, uncompromising film which shows how fickle and cruel fate can be. There are some moments of humour but they are jet jet

Doug Liman's follow-up to brilliant indie hit "Swingers" is a witty, pacy and brilliantly observed slice of LA life. This darkly comic movie follows the misadventures of three characters over a crazy 24 hours, as their individual shenanigans are woven together by a botched drug deal, a hit-and-run robbery and a very large night out. Some may say it's a homage to Tarantino, but, if so, it's a damn fine one with great performances and a storming soundtrack. A must-see.

Cahit's life is on the rocks, his wife's dead, his job's collecting empties in a rock bar, his clothes are a mess and his flat is a garbage tip. He meets fellow third generation Turkish-German Sibel, who wishes nothing more than to escape the embraces of her deeply religious family, and who proposes a marriage of convenience. The film charts the long and tortuous relationship of these two self-destructive rock'n'rollers in a 'narcotically vivid love story'. More than just a movie.

A small girl dies of a genetically inherited brain condition and an ageing pervert is killed in a squalid basement flat in Reykjavik, the latter a case to which dogged detective Erlendu is assigned. His investigation, at times, takes him back to crimes thirty years in the past and into a sordid Icelandic underbelly of deprived urban estates, impoverished rural communities, marital infidelity and drug addiction. An atmospheric, genuinely different, murder investigation/puzzle with some truly left

Hoffman is outstanding, especially in the night club stand up comedy scenes, as the flawed cult NY genius Lenny Bruce, the Beat Generation kid who became a blueprint for a new kind of entertainer with his outrageous anti-establishment routine, his profanities, his attitude toward drugs, his irreverence and general anarchistic demeanour. A must for all budding stand up comedians and fans of good movies.
