Captain Phillips (2013)

Tom Hanks shows again why he's arguably the best actor around. He carries this film and it's a good job he does. Tense throughout but long winded and gets quite repetitive. 3/5

Red 2 (2013)

Very much like the first one, but sadly not as good. Plenty of action, a few laughs but borderline average. 3/5

Despicable Me 2 (2013)

Funny, entertaining and a great family film. Minions are a staple of any good movie. Steve Carell is class.4/5

Prisoners (2013)

Probably the most intense 2 hours I've seen, building up to some amazing twist and then...bang...uber shit Hollywood ending. What was great suddenly became average at best. 3/5
