ACTION/ADVENTURE


AVENGERS:


INFINITY WAR


Chris Hemsworth’s Thor is enlisted by


his Avengers pals to – you guessed


it! – save the world, this time from


the evil Thanos (Josh Brolin) in this


penultimate combined superhero


outing that has all the action, fight


sequences and explosions we love.


RUSH


This gripping biopic established


Hemsworth as a serious actor.


Directed by Ron Howard, it follows


the dangerous rivalry of Formula 1


drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda


during the 1970s. The Aussie star


perfectly embodies ladies’ man Hunt,


while Daniel Brühl (right) is superb


as Lauda, who fought his way back


to form after suffering devastating


facial burns during a shock crash.
