CAST: Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Daniella Pineda, Allison Robertson, J.K. Simmons, Robert Morgan, Grant Harvey, Andrew Holland

CREW: Gavin O’Connor (director), Bill Dubuque (writer), Ben Affleck, Lynette Howell Taylor and Mark Williams (producers), Bryce Dessner (composer), Seamus McGarvey (cinematographer), Richard Pearson (editor)

PLOT: After years of living off the grid, autistic criminal accountant Christian Wolff (Affleck) is contacted by Treasury agent Marybeth Medina (Addai-Robinson) to solve the murder of her former boss, Raymond King (Simmons). He soon approaches his estranged brother Braxton (Bernthal), a lethal hitman, for help on the case, but the two soon find themselves targeted by powerful killers…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The long-awaited sequel to the hit 2016 action-thriller sees Ben Affleck reprise one of his most intriguing recent roles
• Affleck also reunites with director Gavin O’Connor and writer Bill Dubuque for the follow-up, as well as with co-star Jon Bernthal who has a much bigger role this time
• The actors’ chemistry gives a surprisingly lighter tone compared to the dourer original film, which makes it more enjoyable for audiences put off by some of the coldness last time
• Plenty of action and suspense also helps to keep it afloat, with early reviews suggesting it’s even more of a rollercoaster than before
• Should the film do well with audiences, it’s likely that we won’t have to wait nearly another decade for a potential third entry

The Accountant 2 is showing in cinemas from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Odessa A’zion, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, Maia Mitchell, Peter Stormare

CREW: David F. Sandberg (director, producer), Gary Dauberman (writer, producer), Blair Butler (writer), Roy Lee, Lotta Losten, Mia Maniscalco, Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan (producers), Benjamin Wallfisch (composer), Maxime Alexandre (cinematographer), Michel Aller (editor)

PLOT: Clover (Rubin) and her friends head to a remote valley in search of answers to the disappearance of her sister Melanie (Mitchell), but they soon find themselves murdered… only to wake up back at the beginning of their mission. The group soon learns that they are in a time-loop that resets with a different killer, and that to survive they need to make it until dawn…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The hit interactive video game series gets a movie adaptation that somehow doesn’t betray the inventive spirit of the source material
• Shazam! director David F. Sandberg reunites with his Annabelle: Creation writer Gary Dauberman to rework the game’s unique gameplay into a narrative that expands upon the series’ lore
• Each reset is rumoured to invoke the style of several different horror genres, which could also make it an interesting love letter to horror as a whole
• The young cast – and Peter Stormare, in a homage to his original role in the game – encounter numerous deadly foes that get more terrifying as they go along
• Those sceptic of a video game like Until Dawn working on the big screen will be reassured by its bold decisions that help it translate better than anyone could have predicted

Until Dawn is showing in cinemas from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: Naomi Watts, Bill Murray, Sarah Pidgeon, Constance Wu, Ann Dowd, Noma Dumezweni, Felix Solis, Owen Teague, Carla Gugino, Gina Costigan, Josh Pais

CREW: Scott McGehee and David Siegel (directors, writers, producers), Liza Chasin and Mike Spreter (producers), Trevor Gureckis and Jay Wadley (composers), Giles Nuttgens (cinematographer), Isaac Hagy (editor)

PLOT: Iris (Watts), a writer living in New York, is unexpectedly bequeathed by her late friend and mentor Walter (Murray) his Great Dane dog Apollo, even though she is not allowed to have pets in her apartment building. As she struggles to find Apollo a new home, she soon forms an unbreakable bond with the dog…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The most lovable Great Dane since Scooby-Doo is the main attraction of this heartwarming comedy-drama about friendship and healing
• Filmmakers Scott McGehee and David Siegel adapt Sigrid Nunez’s award-winning semiautobiographical novel of the same name, which last year charted on the New York Times’s list of best 100 books of the 21st century so far
• The human cast includes Oscar-nominees Naomi Watts and Bill Murray, who bring warmth and unexpected humour to tender arcs that may have you reaching for the tissues
• It’s gotten extremely high praise since debuting at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, with critics highlighting the genuine drama and the scene-stealing antics of the central dog
• Those looking for a sweet-natured and deeply emotional drama with its own adorable canine will get plenty of that and more from this film

The Friend is showing in cinemas from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: Tessa Van den Broeck, Ruth Becquart, Koen De Bouw, Claire Bodson, Laurent Caron

CREW: Leonardo Van Dijl (director, writer), Ruth Becquart (writer), Gilles Coulier, Gilles De Schryver, Wouter Sap, Roxanne Sarkozi and Delphine Tomson (producers), Caroline Shaw (composer), Nicolas Karakatsanis (cinematographer), Bert Jacobs (editor)

PLOT: Julie (Van den Broeck) is a promising young champion at a prestigious tennis academy, but after her coach Jérémy (Caron) is placed under suspicion following the suicide of a fellow player, the students are encouraged to come forward about their experiences with the disgraced coach – except for Julie, who decides to remain silent…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• This powerful Belgian drama takes a sobering look at the harsh realities of control and abuse in a post-#MeToo world
• Writer-director Leonardo Van Dijl makes a surprisingly tense feature debut where the drama comes from what isn’t necessarily shown or said, adding to the complexity of the situation
• It features a striking lead turn by Tessa Van den Broeck, who like her character is also a highly skilled young tennis prodigy who has already competed in several international tournaments
• Following its successful debut at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, the film was picked to be Belgium’s entry for the International Feature Film Oscar, though it ultimately wasn’t nominated
• Viewers will be compelled as well as haunted by the drama that should hit home for a lot of people, whether they’re in tennis or in any other industry

Julie Keeps Quiet is showing in cinemas from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: Lea Myren, Thea Sofie Loch Næss, Ane Dahl Torp, Flo Fagerli, Isac Calmroth, Malte Gårdinger, Ralph Carlsson, Isac Aspberg, Albin Weidenbladh, Oksana Czerkasyna, Katarzyna Herman, Adam Lundgren, Willy Ramnek Petri, Cecilia Forss

CREW: Emilie Blichfeldt (director, writer), Maria Ekerhovd (producer), John Erik Kaada (composer), Marcel Zyskind (cinematographer), Olivia Neergaard-Holm (editor)

PLOT: In 19th century Norway, Elvira (Myren) is a young woman who is forced to compete with her more attractive stepsister Agnes (Næss) for the attention of handsome Prince Julian (Calmroth), which soon drives her to more and more extreme measures…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Coming hot off the heels of The Substance is a shocking new body-horror take on the classic fairy tale of Cinderella
• The Norwegian dark comedy marks the magnetic feature debut of writer-director Emilie Blichfeldt, as well as lead actor Lea Myren in a role that goes to some messed-up places
• To give you an idea of how sick and twisted the film is, there were reports of an audience member throwing up during its Sundance premiere – which is as promising as it is gross
• Its provocative themes on impossible beauty standards are presented in a different fashion to last year’s Oscar-winning runaway hit, but are no less timely and relevant to anyone in this image-obsessed age
• You’ll come away never looking at the fairy tale in quite the same way, which is saying something because there are things in that original story that are already quite disturbing (and wisely nixed from the Disney versions)!

The Ugly Stepsister is showing in cinemas from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: Ia Sukhitashvili, Kakha Kintsurashvili, Merab Ninidze, Roza Kancheishvili, Ana Nikolava, David Beradze, Sandro Kalandadze, Tosia Doloiani, Beka Songhulashvili

CREW: Dea Kulumbegashvili (director, writer), Ilan Amouyal, Archil Gelovani, Luca Guadagnino, Francesco Melzi d’Eril, Gabriele Moratti, Alexandra Rossi and David Zerat (producers), Matthew Herbert (composer), Arseni Khachaturan (cinematographer), Jacopo Ramella Pajrin (editor)

PLOT: After she becomes involved in a tragedy at a Georgian maternity hospital, skilled obstetrician Nina (Sukhitashvili) faces an inquiry that threatens to reveal her other secret job: driving to the homes of pregnant young women and performing unsanctioned abortions…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The provocative second feature from Georgian filmmaker Dea Kulumbegashvili is a striking look at a controversial underworld of female autonomy
• Kulumbegashvili reunites with actors Ia Sukhitashvili and Kakha Kintsurashvili, who worked on her similarly compelling 2020 debut Beginning
• Among the film’s producers is none other than Luca Guadagnino, who also lends his Bones and All cinematographer Arseni Khachaturan to provide the film’s luscious visuals
• It was awarded the Special Jury Prize at last year’s Venice Film Festival, where it also competed for the Golden Lion award
• As challenging as its themes and depictions may be, it’s an important film to watch for anyone who’s even the least bit sympathetic to the unethical lack of resources for women’s health in Europe

April is showing in cinemas from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: Masaki Suda, Kotone Furukawa, Daiken Okudaira, Amane Okayama, Yoshiyoshi Arakawa, Masataka Kubota, Yutaka Matsushige, Masaaki Akahori, Maho Yamada, Mutsuo Yoshioka, Yusei Mikawa, Toshihiro Yagi, Yoshiyuki Morishita, Tetsua Chiba

CREW: Kiyoshi Kurosawa (director, writer), Yumi Arakawa, Nobuhiro Iizuka and Yuki Nishimiya (producers), Takuma Watanabe (composer), Yasuyuki Sasaki (cinematographer), Kochi Takahasi (editor)

PLOT: In Japan, Ryosuke Yoshii (Suda) is a young man who makes a living reselling unwanted goods on the Internet, but soon he becomes drawn into a series of mysterious and dangerous events…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The latest film from Japanese auteur Kiyoshi Kurosawa is a thrilling psychological adventure into the darkest pits of humanity
• It features a compelling central performance from Japan acting and singing sensation Masaki Suda, who plays against type in a film that pushes the performer to his limits
• The movie received a warm reception at international film festivals like Venice and Toronto, and was even submitted as Japan’s official entry for the International Feature Film Oscar, though it wasn’t nominated
• In typical Kurosawa fashion, there are twists and turns that will break your brain, as well as bursts of violence that recall the filmmaker’s earlier horror work such as Pulse and Cure
• You can bet on it becoming a cult favourite among lovers of Japanese cinemas, as well as admirers of tense psychological thrillers in general

Cloud is showing in cinemas from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: Joe Gill, Becky Bowe, Darren Connolly, Darryl Clark, Jo Dakin, Eliane Hawley, Christine Dalby, Vincent Davies, Leah Salmon, Tahlia Cherry, Thomas Ende, Ben Toye, Christine Barton-Brown, Wendy Patterson, Barney Thompson, Mike Hilton, David Males, Gemma Louise Nuttall, Junior Akinola, Keane Sudworth, Umar Ali

CREW: Gino Evans (director, writer), Ben Toye (producer), Andrew Layfield (composer), Sam Cronin (cinematographer), Dan Baboulene (editor)

PLOT: After being released from prison, Danny (Gill) attempts to keep his addiction and mental health under control, but a chance encounter with old schoolmate Laura (Bowe) soon sends him into a pit of tragic obsession…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• This compassionate British drama tackles some heavy issues that need to be talked about more in general society
• Writer-director Gino Evans makes a heartfelt filmmaking debut that is tough to stomach in parts, but always has its heart in the right place
• Joe Gill and Becky Bowe give a pair of excellent lead performances amidst the backdrop of a chilly Manchester setting
• Anyone struggling with mental health and substance addiction can recognise the deeply layered mannerisms that the film carefully replicates to emotional effect
• With its tender narrative and empathetic filmmaking, it’s the kind of movie that we need a lot more of, especially within independent cinema

Treading Water is showing in cinemas from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: “Amy Smith,” Marina Garrett, Hanna Senko, Jenny Ecklund, Elizabeth Myers, Margaret Moore

CREW: Julie Lunde Lillesæter (director, producer, cinematographer), Arne Dahr and Natalya Sarch (producers), Therese Aune (composer), Mathias Askeland and Trude Lirhus (editor)

PLOT: In Austin, Texas, the cases of three women who have experienced sexual assault are dismissed, leading them to join a class-action lawsuit against the local authorities that brings about much-needed changes to the law…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The power of unity, especially among women, is evident in this inspiring legal documentary about those who brought about real change in today’s modern world
• Its focus is on three women including anonymous plaintiff “Amy Smith” who, despite suffering traumatic sexual violence, are badly let down by the justice system
• Their efforts to challenge the governing forces directly are captured by Norwegian filmmaker Julie Lunde Lillesæter, who gives the involved women their own chance to have their voices heard
• The documentarian also takes a hard look at the borderline criminal mishandling of sexual assault cases which, until the resulting action, are relatively shocking in today’s society
• It is a powerful reminder that change can be brought about, especially in these stubborn political times, if people are actually willing to band together and make their case with force

An Army of Women is showing in cinemas from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: Tom Hardy, Forest Whitaker, Timothy Olyphant, Justin Cornwell, Jessie Mei Li, Yeo Yann Yann, Xelia Mendes-Jones, Serhat Metin, Quelin Sepulveda, Luis Guzmán, Sunny Pang, Michelle Waterson, Richard Pepper, Tony Parker, Megan Lockhurst

CREW: Gareth Evans (director, writer, producer), Tom Hardy, Gufran Khan, Ed Talfan and Aram Tertzakian (producers), Aria Prayogi (composer), Matt Flannery (cinematographer), Sara Jones and Matt Platts-Mills (editors)

PLOT: Walker (Hardy), a bruised detective operating within a system of corruption and conspiracu, gets caught in a drug deal that goes wrong, which leads to him cruising through the criminal underworld in search of a politician’s estranged son…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Gareth Evans, who previously wowed audiences with The Raid and its equally fierce sequel, returns with another high-octane action thriller that hits harder than ever before
• Tom Hardy both stars and produces the film, in which he engages in some extremely violent set-pieces that are among the most gnarly and spectacularly choreographed in modern action cinema
• The film was shot all the way back in 2021, but years of reshoots caused the film to experience heavy delays – but the end result was surely worth it!
• Wales’s very own city of Cardiff substitutes for the mean American streets in ways that have actually had a positive lasting effect for the local community
• With violence aplenty and some masterful action filmmaking always on display, it’s set to become a new favourite among genre afficionados everywhere

Havoc is streaming exclusively on Netflix from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: Gerard Butler, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Evin Ahmad, Meadow Williams, Salvatore Esposito, Orli Shuka, Cristian Solimeno, Nazmiye Oral, Dino Kelly, Fortunato Cerlino, Yasen Zates Atour, Michael Bisping, Giuseppe Schillaci, Rico Verhoeven, Velibor Topić, Antonio Bustorff, Adriano Chiaramida, Swen Temmel, Ciryl Gane

CREW: Christian Gudegast (director, writer), Gerard Butler, Mark Canton, Alan Siegel and Tucker Tooley (producers), Kevin Matley (composer), Terry Stacey (cinematographer), Roberth Nordh (editor)

PLOT: After avoiding capture following a federal reserve heist, skilled thief Donnie (Jackson Jr.) is hiding out in Europe when he’s suddenly approached by former detective Nick O’Brien (Butler), who seeks to team with Donnie and his crew for a daring new job involving rare diamonds…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The hit 2018 crime thriller gets a long-awaited follow-up that takes the heist action across international waters
• Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr. join forces once more as their respective criminal and cop characters, once again under the direction of Christian Gudegast who also writes the film
• A much more complex plan is put into motion that makes effective use of several European locations, including the Canary Islands and parts of the UK
• Expect more thrilling action as friendships are betrayed, plans go awry, and lots of gunfire is fired upon our outlaw anti-heroes
• Like the first film, it’s a fun heist caper that gets plenty of cinematic enjoyment out of its increasingly heightened plot and setting

Den of Thieves: Pantera is streaming exclusively on Prime Video from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: Eiza González, Aaron Paul, Iko Uwais, Kate Elliott, Beulah Koale, Flying Lotus

CREW: Flying Lotus (director, composer), Jonni Remmler (writer), Nate Bolotin and Matthew Metcalfe (producers), Richard Bluck (cinematographer), Bryan Shaw (editor)

PLOT: Riya (González), an astronaut, wakes up on a distant planet with no memory and the rest of the crew on her space station mysteriously dead. When a man named Brion (Paul) arrives to apparently rescue her, Riya is unsure whether to trust him…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• This intense psychological thriller brings a heavy sci-fi twist to a familiar amnesia storyline
• Eiza González and Aaron Paul dazzle in a pair of central performances where you’re never sure how much you should trust them
• It’s a fascinating spectacle from musician-turned-filmmaker Flying Lotus, who also composed the score and even has a small supporting role
• Some freaky designs are brought to life by colourful CGI that brings out the terrifying nature of space more than some of the more recent movies in the Alien franchise
• You’ll be guessing right up to the very end what is going to happen in this deeply unsettling narrative where just about anything could happen

Ash is streaming exclusively on Prime Video from Thursday 24 April 2025

CAST: Peter Dinklage, Juliette Lewis, Esmé Creed-Miles, Levon Hawke, Andrew Schulz, James Hetfield, Leslie Grace, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Arliss Howard, Macon Blair, Ned Dennehy

CREW: Elliott Lester (director, producer), Chris Kelley (writer), Peter Dinklage, Michael Frislev, Shannon Gaulding, David Ginsberg, Andre L III, Gianni Nunnari, Brian O’Shea, Chad Oakes and Caddy Vanasirikul (producers), Ray Suen (composer), Guillermo Garza (cinematographer), Jean-Christophe Bouzy (editor)

PLOT: In the Old West, ruthless bounty hunter Reginald Jones (Dinklage) is hired by Jack Parker (Hawke) to help him locate his sister Lula (Creed-Miles), who’s been abducted by merciless outlaw Cutthroat Bill (Lewis) and taken to a deadly landscape known as The Thicket…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Peter Dinklage leads this bleak and gruesome Western that’s filled with gnarly action and a cool cast of characters
• The Game of Thrones actor, also a producer on the film, has been developing an adaptation of Joe R. Lansdale’s novel since 2014, but production was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to several cast members being replaced
• Dinklage takes on a fierce lead role opposite Juliette Lewis as an intimidating villain, while none other than Metallica frontman James Hetfield also has a major supporting role
• The vast snowy wilderness of Canada doubles for a deadly Texas atmosphere where most of the film takes place
• It’s got plenty of entertainment to go around, from its ferocious star power to some good old-fashioned Western genre storytelling

The Thicket is available to rent/buy on digital platforms from Monday 21 April 2025

CAST: Keira Knightley, Matthew Macfadyen, Brenda Blethyn, Donald Sutherland, Rosamund Pike, Jena Malone, Tom Hollander, Penelope Wilton, Judi Dench, Simon Woods, Carey Mulligan, Talulah Riley, Rupert Friend, Kelly Reilly, Tamzin Merchant, Claudie Blakley, Cornelius Booth, Peter Wight, Roy Holder, Pip Torrens, Meg Wynn Owen, Sinead Matthews

CREW: Joe Wright (director), Deborah Moggach (writer), Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Paul Webster (producers), Dario Marianelli (composer), Roman Osin (cinematographer), Paul Tothill (editor)

PLOT: In 18th century England, Elizabeth Bennet (Knightley) and her sisters Jane (Pike), Mary (Riley), Kitty (Mulligan) and Lydia (Malone) encounter and contend with several potential suitors, including their wealthy new neighbour Charles Bingley (Woods) and his pompous friend Mr Darcy (Macfadyen)…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Director Joe Wright’s beloved take on Jane Austen’s classic novel is back in cinemas to mark its 20th anniversary, as well as the 250th birthday of the author
• Keira Knightley’s central turn as the incomparable Elizabeth Bennet has since become synonymous with Austen fans around the world, as has Matthew Macfadyen’s take on her love interest Mr Darcy
• It became an instant hit with critics and audiences, earning four times its $28 million budget at the box office, as well as a total of four Oscar nominations including Best Actress for Knightley
• The breathtaking cinematography, combined with plenty of astonishing Georgian sets and costumes, make it a visual treat that compliments the faithful script by Deborah Moggach
• Despite initial fears it would be outshone by the popular 1995 BBC miniseries, which featured Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth as Bennet and Darcy respectively, the film stands firmly on its own as a pleasing adaptation of the timeless story

Pride & Prejudice is showing in cinemas from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: Sandra Bullock, Michael Caine, Benjamin Bratt, Candice Bergen, William Shatner, Ernie Hudson, John DiResta, Heather Burns, Melissa De Sousa, Steve Monroe, Deidre Quinn, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Asia De Marcos, Mary Ashleigh Green

CREW: Donald Petrie (director), Katie Ford, Marc Lawrence and Caryn Lucas (writers), Sandra Bullock (producer), Edward Shearmur (composer), László Kovács (cinematographer), Billy Weber (editor)

PLOT: When a terrorist threatens to plant a bomb at an upcoming beauty pageant, tomboy FBI agent Gracie Hart (Bullock) is instructed to go undercover as a contestant in order to find and apprehend the criminal…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The hit action-comedy takes another bow on the big screen in celebration of its 25th anniversary (on the very date that holds a special meaning for its fans)
• Sandra Bullock produced the film in addition to starring in it, which further solidified her status as a major A-list movie star
• While critical reception was and continues to be mixed, it became a box office success after grossing over $200 million against its $45 million budget, and even scored Bullock a Golden Globe nomination for her comedic lead performance
• Its satirical depiction of the world of beauty pageants is a major source of comedy, though its earnestness is also celebrated
• Don’t miss your chance to experience the crowd-pleasing comedy on the big screen, a quarter of a decade after it first delighted audiences

Miss Congeniality is showing in cinemas from Friday 25 April 2025

CAST: Hayden Christensen, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Ian McDiarmid, Samuel L. Jackson, Jimmy Smits, Christopher Lee, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Frank Oz, Peter Mayhew, Oliver Ford Davies, Ahmed Best, Silas Carson, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Matthew Wood, Temuera Morrison, Bruce Spence, Rohan Nichol

CREW: George Lucas (director, writer), Rick McCallum (producer), John Williams (composer), David Tattersall (cinematographer), Roger Barton and Ben Burtt (editors)

PLOT: As the Jedi, including Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (McGregor) and Knight Anakin Skywalker (Christensen), defend the galaxy amidst the Clone Wars, Anakin takes his final steps towards the dark side and his eventual identity as the feared Darth Vader, apprentice to the evil Sith Lord Palpatine (McDiarmid)…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The third and final film in George Lucas’s prequel trilogy takes the high ground with an all-new theatrical comeback in celebration of its 20th anniversary
• Widely considered the best of the divisive prequels, Lucas fills the gaps on some of the series’ most lingering questions, notably how Anakin Skywalker became the infamous Darth Vader
• The film features some of the most epic action in the entire Star Wars franchise, including a climactic showdown on a lava planet that deserves to be seen on the biggest screen available
• Lucas inserts plenty of treats for eagle-eyed fans, including appearances by original trilogy characters as well as a hugely memorable villain turn by Ian McDiarmid
• Whether or not you’re a Star Wars fan, this is a big-screen experience that you will definitely not want to miss out on – so, when it comes to securing tickets, in the words of Palpatine himself: “Do it!”

Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith is showing in cinemas from Friday 25 April 2025
