Arthur Thirkell Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 17, 2026 While I do hold question marks over some of the glib motives attributed to many of the characters, the overall impression is of a daring, brilliantly conceived film of shuddering impact. Go to Full Review A Clockwork Orange (1971) 83% 93%

Ron Hall Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 13, 2026 Despite its magnificent cast, the film suffers from the lack of a really great performance. Only Peter Ustinov approaches his very best -- in a brilliant comic performance as the owner of the gladiator school. Go to Full Review Spartacus (1960) 89% 87%

Donald Zec Daily Mirror (UK) Oct 13, 2026 It isn't another "All Quiet" -- but it has considerable integrity and there are flashes of brilliance in dialogue and acting. Go to Full Review Paths of Glory (1957) 96% 95%

Simon Rose Daily Mirror (UK) Sep 23, 2026 3/5 I can't decide whether the filmmakers had their tongues in their cheeks, but who cares, because Street Fighter turns out to be incredibly daft and funny. Go to Full Review Street Fighter (1994) 20% 20%

Donald Zec Daily Mirror (UK) Aug 24, 2026 To dismiss it as a long, drawn-out obscenity is to overlook its one notable achievement -- managing to be as dull as it is vicious, as unreal as it is unsavoury. Go to Full Review The Devils (1971) 55% 88%

Simon Rose Daily Mirror (UK) Aug 3, 2026 2/5 Even ignoring special effects, a confusing and implausible plot, wild coincidences and leaden dialogue, Escape From LA is simply far too similar to the plot of writer/director John Carpenter's cult classic Escape From New York.
