There’s a scene in the middle of this film where Benicio Del Toro’s lawyer-turned-exterminator Alejandro is staggering across a Mexican wasteland trying to find a place to hide out. Actually, that happens a couple of times: it’s just that kind of film. But the first time it happens he stumbles across a humble Mexican shack-dweller who, together with his wife, happens to be deaf. Fortunately it turns out Alejandro knows sign language, so after a rest and a quick hand-chat about “different worlds” (the shack-dweller’s baby isn’t deaf), the film moves on. You’d be forgiven for thinking this ominous but otherwise pointless scene is setting up a later development where knowing sign language comes in handy, but no: the point of this scene is to let us know that the only people in Mexico who aren’t corrupt or criminal are deaf and living in a shack in the middle of nowhere, because Mexico is literally Hell on Earth. Which, if you saw the first Sicario , isn’t much of a shock, but at least the...

Dinosaurs! The appeal of seeing prehistorical monsters lumber around has been the central hook in every movie with "Jurassic" in the title no matter what well-meaning Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum fans would have you believe. Humans in these movies are there to act stupid, look astonished, and occasionally get eaten: the big problem with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is that we don't get anywhere near enough of that last one. It’s been three years since the Jurassic World theme park on Isla Nublar was trashed, and now an erupting volcano on the island looks set to finish the job. While the US government dithers, Sir Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell) and his aide Eli Mils (Rafe Spall) hire Claire Dearling (Bryce Dallas Howard) to help retrieve the dinos and transfer them to an all-new island. You don't remember Lockwood? He was the partner of the first film's John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), only they had a massive falling out thirty seconds before that film ...

How many characters are too many for an ensemble film? At a time when Ocean's 8 seems more like Ocean's 4 and the Rest , it's easy to feel that Hollywood shouldn't be allowed to make a film with more than two characters on screen at any one time. Tag largely gets around this by making the focus not the group but the mission: they're a bunch of middle-aged men still playing a schoolyard game, and that's pretty much the most interesting thing about all of them.   Something this stupid has to be based on a true story, and so it proves to be: for one month each year, the same group of now middle-aged American men (and men only) play a game of tag that’s been going on for decades. This time though, there’s a twist: the only member of the group who’s never been tagged is getting married during the month, so for once everyone knows exactly where he’s going to be.     What makes this often funny film work is that it doesn’t mess around; aside from ...

Like the crimes they depict, a well-planned heist film requires a range of elements to come together in harmony. For a long while these elements were pretty well known - a colourful cast, a complicated plan, an exciting location, various outside factors that could throw things off balance and so on. But in recent years heist movies have discarded some of the core features of the genre. It hasn't been an improvement. Fresh out of jail after almost six years, Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) has promised to go straight. Straight back to her con artist ways, more like it. But this time she has a big score in mind: she wants to steal a $150 million dollar Cartier necklace from the neck of movie star Daphne Kruger (Anne Hathaway) during the glamourous Met Gala ball. But first she and her partner in crime Lou Miller (Cate Blanchett) have to get the necklace on Kruger's neck - and for that they're going to need a team. So far so good, especially after a fun opening where Ocean (siste...
