Derek Adams Time Out May 14, 2013 2/5 With its puerile dialogue, daft performances, flat comic repartee and ear-rupturingly loud sound levels, the experience of watching 'Fast & Furious 6' is like listening to death metal pour out of 500-watt speakers while being strapped to a pneumatic drill.

Derek Adams Time Out Apr 30, 2013 2/5 Despite the tissue-thin plot, slipshod performances and predictable single-mum family dynamics 'Robosapien' is surprisingly easy to endure - a freewheeling kids' film. Nothing more, nothing less. Go to Full Review Robosapien: Rebooted (2013) - - 42%

Derek Adams Time Out Jul 31, 2012 2/5 Slightly better than its predecessors - although it's still the same disjointed fluff about an aloof American middle-class kid with a bunch of hang-ups. Go to Full Review Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (2012) 52% 63%

Derek Adams Time Out Mar 22, 2012 2/5 'Act of Valor' reeks of military-sanctioned exploitation drama aimed solely at the 'Call of Duty' set. Go to Full Review Act of Valor (2012) 28% 72%

Derek Adams Time Out Mar 13, 2012 4/5 This is a film perhaps better suited to DVD, simply because there are thoughts here of such profundity you might feel the need to reach for the rewind button. I, for one, have been left substantially enlightened. Go to Full Review Four Horsemen (2012) 71% 78%

Derek Adams Time Out Feb 23, 2012 2/5 'Blood Car' is essentially a one-joke scenario that never quite adds up to the sum of its mangled body parts. Go to Full Review Bloodcar (2007) 58% 50%
