21 BRIDGES
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
DIRECTOR: Brian Kirk
CAST: Chadwick Boseman,
Sienna Miller
Fun fact: there are 21
bridges connecting
Manhattan to the rest of
New York City. And NYPD
detective Andre Davis shuts
down access to them all
(along with the rivers and
tunnels) in order to catch
a gang of cop killers. It’s a
gripping game of cat and
mouse, but when the hero
hails from Wakanda, you
know this crime drama’s
going to be a wild ride.

ONCE UPON
A TIME IN
HOLLYWOOD
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
DIRECTOR:
Quentin Tarantino
CAST: Leonardo DiCaprio,
Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie
Director Quentin Tarantino’s
ninth film is exactly what
you’d expect – an A-list
cast, a scattershot of whip-
sharp dialogue and loads of

gratuitous violence. Set in

1969, it weaves together the

tale of a nearly washed-up

cowboy actor (Leonardo

DiCaprio) and his stunt

double (Brad Pitt) with the

rise of nefarious cult leader

Charles Manson (Damon

Herriman). An enjoyable

pastiche of the very best

of hippie Hollywood

pop culture.

CRAWL

DIRECTOR: Alexandre AJA

CAST: Kaya Scoledario,

Barry Pepper

Being trapped in a flooded

house during a category

5 hurricane is frightening

enough – unless you throw a

pack of psychotic alligators

into the mix – and then this

thriller becomes a whole

new watery hell. Starring

Kaya Scoledario as the

unlucky Floridian who has

to fight off both the storm

and the ravenous reptiles,

this thriller is so bad it’s

awesome. We’re queuing up

for Crawl 2 now!
