[b]The Lincoln Lawyer - 3.5/5[/b]

In short:
Operating out of the back of his Lincoln sedan motor vehicle, charismatic attorney Michael 'Mick' Haller (Matthew McConaughey) isn't averse to taking a few short-cuts to get his clients off the hook. He's used to dealing with hardened criminals, but out of the blue Mick is handed the case of a lifetime as wealthy playboy Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe) is charged with attempted murder. The pay-off could be huge but the trial is anything but straightforward. A smart prosecutor (Josh Lucas) is intent on finding Roulet guilty, but this is only the start of Mick's problems. As his conscience begins to raise questions, he himself becomes the target of a criminal mastermind.

What we think:
The plot might limp to a predictable finish, but there is some mileage left in the characters.  McConaughey is at his charismatic best and we'd find it hard to complain if the Lincoln Lawyer rolled into action again in the near future.

The word out there:
TimeOut: In theory, there’s nothing wrong when a movie reminds you of TV. But when a movie resembles a long-lost episode of ‘The Rockford Files’, that is a problem.
Sky Movies: Director Brad Furman fashions a sharp adaptation of Michael Connelly's novel with McConaughey neatly cast as the charismatic lawman who can't quite believe he's being played.
ViewLondon: As popcorn-fuelled legal thrillers go, The Lincoln Lawyer is hugely enjoyable stuff, thanks to a sharply written script, strong characters and terrific performances from a fine ensemble cast.
MovieVortex: Directed by Brad Furman “The Lincoln Lawyer” is a riveting courtroom drama based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling novel of the same name. It is a complex and intelligently written movie.


[b]Chalet Girl - 3.5/5[/b]

In short:
Kim (Felicity Jones) was a teenage skateboarding prodigy all set for a promising career. That is, until her mother passed away in a tragic accident. Now a young adult Kim is stuck in a dead-end job earning the rent and looking after her lost, depressed dad (Bill Bailey). One day, however, Kim is tipped off about a great earner working as a chalet girl for posh people on skiing holidays and everything changes...

What we think:
Finally, a feel-good film we can relate to. Great performances, loveable characters and a shedload of stunning scenery make 'Chalet Girl' the ideal date movie.

The word out there:
Total Film: It’s steered to success – just – by Jones, a natural, likeable everygirl who will make you care, possibly against your will, about a story as old as the Alps.
Film4: While there's nothing off-piste about it, Chalet Girl is possibly the first British rom com since Working Title's heyday that won't make you want to stick pins in your eyes, will actually make you laugh, and wasn't made by Working Title.
Den of Geek: Chalet Girl overstretches itself, attempting to bring together themes of loss, class and aspiration into such a blithely vapid romantic comedy concept.
Sky Movies: Felicity Jones makes good on the promise showed in Cemetery Junction with this teen romance set on the slopes of a snobbish Alpine skiing resort.

[b]Submarine - 4/5[/b]

In short:
Oliver Tate (Craig Roberts) is a 15-year-old Swansea schoolboy with two aims in life, one is to lose his virginity very soon, and the other is to save the failing marriage of his parents. His wry, dry and somewhat matter-of-fact outlook on life makes him an unconventional hero, and life isn't about to sit back and let his plans run smoothly. New neighbour and certified New Age nutter Graham (Paddy Considine) muscles in on his mother and his number one girlfriend target Jordan (Yasmin Paige) turns from a nice, predictable pyromaniac into a troubled young lady with some serious family troubles of her own.

What we think:
Unique, intelligent, witty and superbly acted by it's young stars, 'Submarine' could be a future cult classic.

The word out there:
Empire: A perfect blend of cool, quirky comedy and warm-hearted drama, crafted with such poise that it should see the transcendence of Ayoade from TV nerd-comic to true big-screen talent.
Total Film: Smart and sly, funny and fourth-wall-breaking… but above all, an excruciatingly accurate coming-of-ager.
TimeOut: The shadow of 1960s French cinema falls most heavily over the film. Even the colour and type of the opening credits scream ‘Godard!’
Den of Geek: It's a good-looking, supremely confident narrative debut, with a wry sense of humour and a healthy dose of knowing self-reference.


[b]You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger – 2.5/5[/b]

In short:
Married couple Alfie and Helena (Sir Anthony Hopkins and Gemma Jones) realise that their relationship is failing. Their daughter Sally (Naomi Watts) is the only connection they have, but she too is going through her own marital problems as her writer husband Roy (Josh Brolin) is  desperately looking for inspiration. Into this volatile mix come two enchanting young women, first when Alfie meets and shacks up with selfish call girl Charmaine (Lucy Punch) then when Roy falls for attractive young neighbour Dia (Freida Pinto). As Roy tries to ensnare Dia, his wife finds herself spending more time at work, and developing a crush on her boss (Antonio Banderas) and Woody Allen again shows us that the path to true happiness is as fraught with heartache as it ever was.

What we think:
With stars around every corner it's hard to build up any characters we can believe in, especially when Allen is intent on showing us his view of the Capital city rather than anything, or anyone, remotely real.

The word out there:
Empire: Woody Allen's fourth London outing can't match Matchpoint's better moments - despite a cast similarly loaded with stereotypes - but does improve on Cassandra's Dream.
Total Film: This mordant yarn boasts a fine cast and waspish wit. But overall it’s a cold and inconsequential piece that won’t be remembered with affection.
TimeOut: There’s plenty of ambiguous intellectual heft lurking behind the curtain of mediocrity – so it’s a pity it feels like it was dashed off in a few hours one afternoon.
Sky Movies: Thirty years ago, Allen might have turned this into a sparkling affair. But gone are the zinging one-liners and sharp observations, replaced by cringe-makingly unconvincing dialogue and a reliance on the same lazy narration that made Vicky Cristina Barcelona so irritating.
