Director: J.K. Amalou. Cast: Danny Dyer, and Anna Walton. Actor Danny Dyer tries a new character in J. K. Amalou's Deviation. Instead of the usual Cockney hood, Dyer plays it up as a an escaped psychopath named Frank Norton. Rarely is Dyer menacing in this picture. Deviation is meant as a thriller; yet, much of the tension is missing as Norton's hostage, Amber (Anna Walton), has little to fear from Dyer's Midlands swagger. Thus, Deviation unfolds in a fairly tepid manner. A few interesting film elements light the way, but essentially Deviation was sunk at the casting stage with the story also faltering. Deviation is a film of kidnapping. Norton has escaped the local hospital after a vicious stabbing. A convicted murderer, Norton continues his killing spree as if his rehabilitation never happened. An ex-con is the first offed. Wearing lipstick in front of Norton is a death sentence. Norton...

Danny Dyer has revealed that he would love a threesome with Dames Helen Mirren and Judi Dench. The 34-year-old actor, who is known for his roles in Deviation and Run for your Wife, said that he definitely finds successful older women attractive. At the London premiere for Deviation, Dyer told the Daily Star: "Dame Judi Dench, you know, she's well fit. I think I'd quite like a Gilf." When asked if he'd prefer to have a romantic encounter with Dench or Dame Helen Mirren, he replied: "Oh, listen, it'd be the ultimate threesome." (more)...

Rampart (15)
(Oren Moverman, 2011, Us) Woody Harrelson, Robin Wright, Anne Heche, Cynthia Nixon, Ned Beatty, Sigourney Weaver, Ice Cube. 108 mins
Harrelson looks scarily at home as the most corrupt cop in Los Angeles: drinking, smoking, cheating and brutalising his way to notoriety, then stubbornly denying all culpability. It's less a straight cop story than a fragmented study of a – personally as well as professionally – rotten man. There's almost too much in the mix, but it's told with great style and anchored by a fearsomely committed performance.
Safe House (15)
(Daniel Espinosa, 2012, Us) Denzel Washington, Ryan Reynolds, Vera Farmiga. 115 mins
A spy thriller that gives you what you'd expect: Washington as a suave rogue spy; Reynolds as the rookie who brings him in; frenetic action; double crosses; shifting allegiance; and a bit of waterboarding for kicks.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (12A)
(John Madden, 2011, UK) Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Dev Patel. 124 mins
Aah,...

The Woman In The Fifth (15)
(Pawel Pawlikowski, 2011, Fra/Pol/UK) Ethan Hawke, Kristin Scott Thomas, Joanna Kulig. 84 mins.
Mysteries abound in this sombre, 1970s-style drama, and so do women. Hawke's emotionally wracked American in Paris is plagued by them – not just the seductress of the title (Scott Thomas) but also his estranged wife and daughter, and the pretty Polish waitress. Plus some dodgy (male) gangster types. If it all seems too good to be true, it is, but this doesn't show its hand till very late on – maybe too late – and maybe too many cards, or too few.
Hadewijch (12A)
(Bruno Dumont, 2009, Fra) Julie Sokolowski, Yassine Salime, Karl Sarafidis. 105 mins.
Boldly drawing connections between (Christian) religious devotion and (Muslim) religious extremism, this radical but naturalistic drama follows a rejected nun whose search for spiritual solace takes her far out of her central Paris comfort zone, and deep into the paradoxes of faith.
