Havoc (2025)

★★★ Having helmed two of the most exhilarating martial art films since the turn of the century, "The Raid" creator, Gareth Evans, sadly substitutes fists for guns in his latest hard-boiled actioner.

Warfare (2025)

★★★★ Co-directed by Alex Garland and war veteran Ray Mendoza, "Warfare" tells the story of the latter's real life experiences in Iraq by disturbingly recreating the true horrors of modern day combat.

Sinners (2025)

★★★★1/2 Michael B. Jordan stars as bootlegging twin brothers in Ryan Coogler's toe-tapping supernatural tale that boasts plenty of substance beneath its stunning blood-soaked visuals for audiences to sink their teeth into.

The Rule of Jenny Pen (2025)

★★★1/2 Geoffrey Rush's retired judge becomes the latest victim of John Lithgow's unhinged care home bully in this claustrophobic and upsetting New Zealand psychological chiller.

Black Bag (2025)

★★★★1/2 Human lie detector Michael Fassbender is tasked with finding a traitor within British Intelligence in this slick and sexy espionage caper from Steven Soderbergh.

A Minecraft Movie (2025)

★★ While it may appeal to the vast Minecraft fanbase, this cringey live-action adaptation is seriously lacking the creativity that has become synonymous with the record-breaking sandbox game.

Snow White (2025)

★1/2 Rachel Zegler gives it her all as the titular princess, but shoddy production values, an underwhelming love interest and a terrible Gal Gadot ultimately are the undoing of the latest Disney live-action remake.

Baby Invasion (2025)

★★★ The latest project by Harmony Korine is more of an attack on the senses than a narrative feature, as the experimental filmmaker comments on the blurred lines between video games and real life.

The Electric State (2025)

★★1/2 The latest big-budget release from Netflix fails to capitalise on its promising dystopian premise. Instead it lumbers along without really exploring its central themes surrounding humanity and our reliance on technology.

Mickey 17 (2025)

★★★★ This zany sci-fi satire from Bon Joon-ho may prove to be too wacky for some, but the visionary Korean filmmaker's ability to seamlessly blend genres from scene-to-scene remains unrivalled.
