This makes for some interesting viewing. Whilst it has an amazing cast (Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon and Jude Law just to name a few) this definitely isn't a character led film, instead with the focus most definitely on the disease. Whilst you may think this would make the film disengaging I found that the fact that the characters were basically numbers waiting to be eliminated made for some tense viewing. Marion Cotillard is criminally underused in a script that basically abandons her half way through until the end but Matt Damon's storyline with his daughter brought a sense of humanity to what otherwise could've alienated viewers from what is a VERY brave film... It is rare to see one of the biggest actresses in Hollywood killed off in the first 10 minutes!
4/5
Iron Man 3
What a great start to the summer blockbuster season! This film took the franchise in a much darker direction than the previous two films with terrorism and anxiety attacks at the forefront of the storyline, a move that definitely paid off by rescuing the series from the dregs of Iron Man 2. Full cinema review to follow.
4.5/5
