It seems so long ago that I watched this movie. Nothing like the excitement of the TV series of The Night Manager but the latest John Le Carre novel to make the big screen was a passable couple of hours. Naomie Harris and Ewan McGregor were an unlikely couple to become embroiled in Damian Lewis's unauthorised scheme. Thank goodness for Stellan Skarsgård as the Russian mafia fixer.
Another thriller, but this time one full of the wit lacking in the previous film. Idris Elba and Richard Madden as the anti buddy pair chasing around Paris after the bad guys. Director James Watkins keeps up the pace and the 90 minute running time is perfect.
Not another thriller? Again it doesn't take itself too seriously. George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Jack O'Connell are fun to watch, all of them looking pretty terrified in a funny sort of way. Director Jodie Foster keeps up the suspense but full marks go to a bunch of writers for some cracking dialogue.
