Snowden

Movie Review | Matt Looker | 10th December 2016

There is a terrifying truth presented in Snowden, and I don't mean one of the obvious ones about misuse of power or unlawful global surveillance. It's one that comes early in the film and is only hinted at, but it is confirmation of a deep, dark, universal suspicion: that the incompetency you see in some of your work colleagues is a common problem that exists all the way up to the top.

Movie Review | Ali | 4th October 2006

Movie Review | | 24th February 2005

Troy, The Last Samurai, and now Alexander have all tried to hang onto Gladiator's money-scented coat tails. S...
