No One Gets Out Alive [Netflix]

No Time To Die [Cinemas]
Bond is back after several COVID forced delays, with Daniel Craig donning the tux for one last time. This time he's up against Rami Malek as a facially disfigured oddball intent on poisoning segments of the population with a virus designed to attack specific DNA strands. The movie gets off to a rousing start with an action packed opening half hour, but gets needlessly bogged down in plot as it ties up loose ends from the previous Craig-era instalments. Its bittersweet ending makes for a satisfying conclusion to Craig's time however, and surprisingly it's the female supporting cast – Lea Seydoux, Ana de Armas and Lashana Lynch – that keep the movie anchored.

Percy Vs Goliath [VOD]

Séance [Shudder]
