Eventually Special Forces turns into a damn good survival thriller set in a beautifully captured Middle Eastern landscape. It’s just a shame you have to sit through an hour of numb, generic action to get there.

Tilda Swinton shines as the troubled mother of an even more troubled child. Though ‘shines’ is probably the wrong word to use for such a startingly bleak performance.

Ever wondered what it would feel like to be told after the event that your lap-dancer has crabs? Wonder no more – this exploitation thriller come ho-mance will take you through it step by sordid step.

There is something exquisitely beautiful about the quiet desperation of a broken heart. The Well-Digger’s Daughter captures this sorrow perfectly; from the excitement of the first meeting to the moment a young girl gives everything away for love, this picturesque period drama promises to captivate any audience.
