Review of Breathless (1983)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 09 Dec 2018

Review of Training Day (2001)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 09 Dec 2018

Training Day is not a completely unnuanced parable on policing and a nice disavowal of the movie-perpetuated cliché of smug, streetwise copdom…

Review of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 09 Dec 2018

Review of Only God Forgives (2013)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 08 Dec 2018

Review of Le Week-End (2013)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 08 Dec 2018

Review of Celebrity (1998)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 08 Dec 2018

Review of Trainspotting (1996)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 08 Dec 2018

Review of The World's End (2013)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 08 Dec 2018

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 08 Dec 2018

Review of Down Terrace (2010)

By Pj Nabarro (328) for Patrick Nabarro (306) on 08 Dec 2018

A film that is compelling in its own right, while also functioning meta-referentially - as a commentary on the gangster and kitchen sink genres…

Review of The Whistleblower (2010)
