Review of London Has Fallen (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Review of The Ones Below (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Only a strong cast make it halfway worthwhile…

Review of Black Mountain Poets (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Review of How to Be Single (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

How To Be Single struggles to say anything new about the modern dating game in New York City…

Review of The Witch (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Eggers is clearly first and foremost a film-maker rather than a historian and the urge to entertain eventually prevails…

Review of Truth (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

The first half is tough going but once things start to unravel it certainly picks up speed…

Review of Risen (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Despite some far-from-divine supporting performances and an almost laughably obvious link to the Turin Shroud, the film is clearly made with…

Review of Captain America: Civil War (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Captain America: Civil War is very much a sequel to Winter Soldier but, regrettably, too long, tryingly complicated and it takes the best part…

Review of Truth (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

The first half is tough going but once things start to unravel it certainly picks up speed…

Review of The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

As you might expect, the effects are impressive but, as you also might expect, acting, story and comedy less so…

Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

It flits to and fro between them, often at dizzying speed, in a way that for a long time is quite enjoyable and yet always carried the danger…

Review of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Remember Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter? Probably not…

Review of Exposed (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Fate plays a rather melodramatic role and the often surreal story tests plausibility to its limits, but a well-worked late twist does, surprisingly,…

Review of Secret in Their Eyes (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

The set-up feels complex and contrived, the constant jumping back and forward in time is not always easy to follow, and the sexual chemistry…

Review of Concussion (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Unfortunately Smith's performance lacks subtlety and depth, while the film starts strongly but then just seems to go on and on and on…

Review of Eye in the Sky (2007)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Mirren is unexpectedly gung-ho, the already much-missed Rickman gets better as some slightly jarring moments of early comedy recede, and Monica…

Review of Iona (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Led by the wonderfully watchable Negga, the ensemble acting is stunningly good in a dark film that takes it time in revealing its themes --…

Review of Son of Saul (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Son Of Saul is unmissable either for those interested in the subject or in potent film-making…

Review of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017

Fans of the original -- myself included -- are going to be so disappointed because My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is just awful…

Review of Midnight Special (2016)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 23 Oct 2017
