Dillinger **** (1945, Lawrence Tierney, Edmund Lowe, Anne Jeffreys, Elisha Cook Jr, Eduardo Ciannelli, Marc Lawrence) – Classic Movie Review 3234
Director Max Nosseck’s 1945 thriller is an excellent B-movie gangster film Dillinger, which uses imagination and skill to triumph over its low-budget cheapness and enjoys a claim to being humble poverty row Monogram Pictures’ best […]
The Saint Takes Over *** (1940, George Sanders, Wendy Barrie, Jonathan Hale, Paul Guilfoyle, Morgan Conway) – Classic Movie Review 3224
Director Jack Hively’s twisty and noirish 1940 crime mystery thriller The Saint Takes Over is the fifth in the RKO Saint series, the fourth for George Sanders as Simon Templar, aka The Saint, and the […]
The Fall of the Krays ***½ (2015, Simon Cotton, Kevin Leslie, James Weber Brown, Josh Myers) – Movie Review
Taut, tense and well-made, director Zackary Adler’s welcome and essential sequel to his The Rise of the Krays is a lean, mean, spare, non-glamourised London crime thriller. It’s grittier and less of a show than Legend (2015). […]
Black Mass *** (2015, Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton, Benedict Cumberbatch, Dakota Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Peter Sarsgaard, Jesse Plemons, Adam Scott) – Movie Review

Four Rooms * (1995, Tim Roth, Bruce Willis, Quentin Tarantino, Jennifer Beals, Paul Calderon, Salma Hayek, Madonna, Antonio Banderas, Marisa Tomei) – Classic Movie Review 3056
Tim Roth plays an unlikely bellboy visiting the title’s four hotel rooms in this lacklustre 1995 portmanteau movie comedy, showing clearly why these kinds of films are out of fashion. Even good directors, it seems, […]
Performance ***** (1970, James Fox, Mick Jagger, Anita Pallenberg, Michèle Breton) – Classic Movie Review 2,990
Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell’s clever 1970 gender-bender teaser film Performance is a stunning eye-opener and turned out to be a milestone of British cinema with its provocative mix of perverted sex and violence. James […]
Legend *** (2015, Tom Hardy, Emily Browning, Taron Egerton) – Movie Review
Legend offers Tom Hardy an eagerly and exuberantly taken chance for a bravura star turn in twin roles as 1960s identical twin East End gangsters Reggie and Ronnie Kray (‘We’re talking about being gangsters, that’s […]
