Which is something of a disaster as there are still 7. Getting to the end is a long, unrewarding but unintentionally quite funny – and, yes, I do mean you, Orlando Bloom – old slog. It’s such a shame as, until the moment when it suddenly drops off a cliff, quality- wise, it had looked perfectly promising, as you’d expect from director Michael Apted, whose long career includes the Bond film The World Is Not Enough. Unlocked stars Noomi Rapace (above) as Alice, a CIA agent hoping to get her career and life back on track but it's a long, unrewarding but unintentionally quite funny old slog.

Spies rushing around London – which is essentially what Unlocked is – should be just up his street. Especially given the resources he has to play with.

There’s Noomi Rapace playing Alice, a traumatised CIA agent who’s hoping to get her career and life back on track by going deep undercover as an east London council worker secretly trawling for terrorists. Then there’s Michael Douglas as her slightly inappropriate agency mentor who knows what happened in Paris wasn’t her fault. Heck, there’s even a twitchy John Malkovich being really rather good and really rather funny as the CIA boss who can’t quite believe the London station has made such a mess of a simple kidnapping and interrogation. Alongside Michael Douglas, there’s even John Malkovich (above) being really rather good and rather funny as the CIA boss who can’t quite believe the mess the London station has made. Unlocked has all this… and yet it goes so badly wrong you’ll be stifling the giggles well before the end. So what goes so awry? It certainly doesn’t help that two of these three key elements go missing for a large chunk of the running time, leaving Rapace – whose character is clearly meant to resemble a female Jason Bourne – to anchor the film in a way that, as yet, she’s not really up to. Still, she gives it her best shot, as Alice is suddenly summoned to interrogate the freshly abducted intermediary between a radical imam and a ‘trust fund jihadi’.

The real damage to the film is done, however, by the extraordinary entrance of Orlando Bloom, who arrives in the unlikely shape of a burglar whom Alice bumps into as she rushes to a supposedly ‘safe’ house. The real damage to the film is done, however, by the extraordinary entrance of Orlando Bloom (above left), who arrives in the unlikely shape of a burglar at a supposedly ‘safe’ house. Until that moment, Unlocked has at least aspired to be a serious and reasonably well- plotted thriller, and then, suddenly, there’s Bloom giving it the old twinkly- eyed, aren’t- I- good- looking- under- this- balaclava, London- geezer ‘charm’, and it’s a different film altogether. A much poorer film. It’s a film in which top- secret phone calls are overheard because the person making them is shouting so loudly that the by now tied- up burglar can knock over a nearby phone and listen in full on the extension. It’s a film in which Peter O’Brien’s hitherto competent screenplay suddenly has to include lines such as ‘Sounds like there’s some serious s*** about to go down’ and ‘Yeah, but most people didn’t lose their best mate in the 7/7 Tube bombings.’Yes, yes, Apted and O’Brien can argue that there is eventual justification for such dialogue but, by then, it’s too late: the damage is done. Most of all this is a film that, deludedly, would like to establish Alice as a female Jason Bourne and even has the misplaced confidence to set itself up for a sequel (above, Toni Colette)We’ve started giggling, we’re no longer taking the film seriously and, as for Bloom – his professional reputation enhanced not a single jot – he’s picked up his cheque and gone, in what turns out to be a cameo. Inevitably, given the difficult times we live in, the urban- terrorist thriller has become a contemporary cinema staple and, as a result, you have to work really hard – and intelligently – to make yours stand out. And this, with its increasingly clumsy plot twists and frankly ridiculous dénouement, just doesn’t, at least not for the right reasons. The central plot is similar to the recent feature film version of Spooks and elsewhere there are distinct echoes of the 2.

Pierce Brosnan thriller Survivor, in which Milla Jovovich played the much- pursued female protagonist, and of the recent Riz Ahmed film City Of Tiny Lights. But most of all this is a film that, deludedly, would like to establish Alice as a female Jason Bourne and even has the misplaced confidence to set itself up for a sequel. To which I respond with just three words.

No, thank you. SECOND SCREEN Mindhorn (1. Rating: The Journey (1. A)Rating: A Dog's Purpose (PG)Rating: Sleepless (1. Rating: If Mindhorn was conceived late one night in a film festival bar, I wouldn’t be at all surprised. How else do you explain a film about an Eighties TV detective fitted with a truth- detecting bionic eye, cast members from The Mighty Boosh and a list of producers that include Ridley Scott, Steve Coogan and Christine Langan of BBC Films?

Must have been a good night. Thankfully, it’s a pretty good, if fabulously silly, film too – as vain, deluded, washed- up old actor Richard Thorncroft (played by Boosh alumnus Julian Barratt), still best known for playing the Isle of Man- based Mindhorn 3.

Manx police catch a serial killer. Mindhorn is a pretty good, if fabulously silly, film about a washed- up old actor (Julian Barratt, above with Essie Davies) helping the Manx police catch a serial killer. Watch Addicted HDQ. It’s very funny, features surprising cameos from Kenneth Branagh and Simon Callow, and has a running gag about John Nettles, who, of course, played that other island detective, Bergerac.

But while Barratt is splendid in the central role, we have seen this sort of satire many times before, not least in Coogan’s own Alan Partridge, of course. One of the great unexplained mysteries of our time is how those former sworn enemies, the Reverend Ian Paisley of Ulster’s Democratic Unionist Party and Martin Mc. Watch The Mask Of Zorro Online (2017). Guinness of Sinn Fein, somehow came together not just to become First Minister and Deputy First Minister of the Northern Ireland Executive but forge a friendship apparently so warm that they were nicknamed The Chuckle Brothers. The Journey imagines how the unlikely reconciliation between Ian Paisley and Martin Mc.

Guinness (Colm Meaney, above right with Timothy Spall as Paisley) might have taken place. In The Journey director Nick Hamm and writer Colin Bateman imagine how this unlikely reconciliation might have taken place, as ‘circumstances’ improbably force Paisley (Timothy Spall) and Mc. Guinness (Colm Meaney) to share a car to Edinburgh Airport. Spall doesn’t have the physical size to totally convince as Paisley but Meaney is terrific as Mc. Guinness, and while the end result is both wordy and not always believable, I found it fascinating and deeply moving. A Dog’s Purpose begins with the startling premise that dogs don’t die but are actually reincarnated over and over again. A Dog’s Purpose is an inevitably episodic film that for all its laboured canine capers never comes close to charming, at least not until Dennis Quaid joins the cast for the final chapter. So when that sweet little stray puppy is caught by the dog- catcher… don’t worry, he’ll be back as a red retriever any moment.

The result is an inevitably episodic and repetitive film that for all its laboured canine capers – and my goodness, there are a lot of them – never comes close to charming, at least not until Dennis Quaid joins the cast for what I admit is quite a sweet final chapter.

All the Details and Secrets We Spotted in the Latest Star Wars: The Last Jedi Footage. D2. 3 is upon us this weekend, and with it, a new behind- the- scenes glimpse at the next chapter in the Star Wars saga. But although the movie didn’t offer us a full trailer, what we did get was still jam- packed with little hints and clues as to what’s to come for Luke, Leia, Rey, Finn, and Poe.

The opening salvo of the reel gives us a few intriguing shots of sets, locations, and characters. There’s a great big rocky set—which we’ll see later is actually home to a massive pool of water—the bridge of a Star Destroyer under construction, huts on Luke’s new home of Ahch- To, and rather spectacularly, Chewbacca getting his hair done. Some very slick looking speeders blanketed by the sun. Judging by some of the things we see later on in this reel, these appear to be for the glitzy streets of Canto Bight, a casino world that both Finn (John Boyega) and new character Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran) venture to at some point in the movie. A poor camera man gets doused in red soil—meaning that this is presumably Crait, the mineral planet from the first trailer and seemingly the site of a really major battle at some point in the film, judging by some of the character’s we’ll later see filming stuff on this new planet. Rey (Daisy Ridley) pops up from behind a camera, giving us a good look at the hairstyle so secret it somehowbecame a months- long Star Wars rumor. Night on Ahch- To..

Luke would maybe invite Chewie to stay in his home, but apparently not, as the Wookiee goes solo camping with the Falcon. When he’s not stealing Poe’s clothes, Finn seems like at some point he’ll be donning a Resistance pilot flight suit.

It’s not the orange of Poe and his fellow X- Wing pilots, so maybe Finn suits up to use one of those big gunships we saw in the first trailer’s space battle. One of the most mysterious, intriguing shots of the whole reel is this one we see of General Leia (the late, ever- great Carrie Fisher). She’s not on a bridge of a Resistance ship as we’ve seen repeatedly already, but instead looking distraught on the grey, cracked surface of a planet.

It doesn’t quite look like Crait, and it doesn’t look like what we’ve seen of Ahch- To either, so could it be a new world altogether? Our first look at a pivotal scene that’s presumably from the earliest moments of the film, knowing that it picks up immediately after the end of The Force Awakens: Rey returns the Skywalker family lightsaber to its former owner, Luke (Mark Hamill).

Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) goes business formal, keeping the helmet but ditching his pleated robes for a First Order officer’s tunic and a new, totally- trying- to- be- grandpa cloak. In fact, there’s been a rumor that it might literally be Vader’s cloak, so there’s a possibility that poor Ben has gone full cosplay. The location he’s on looks very Death Star, but it’s likely Supreme Leader Snoke’s grand Star Destroyer—referred to in reports as a Mega Destroyer—which we’ve heard is a pivotal location in the film. Here’s a look at what Kylo’s staring at in the above shot—which definitely looks like a big- ass throne for Snoke to sit in, seemingly confirming this is the Mega Destroyer the First Order’s leader calls home.

A reverse look at that big explosion we see Poe (Oscar Isaac) and BB- 8 run to in the first trailer—one that gives us our first really good look at the A- Wings, making their return to the franchise in both original red and Resistance White/Blue flavors. Look at these adorable little space heroes! Sure, it’s an isolated behind- the- scenes shot, but could it imply that all four of our young heroes will be meeting up in the film at some point? We know at the very least a few will, thanks to some later shots in the reel. Our first look at a nasty- looking new weapon for the Stormtroopers (or at least a special version of them, given the new black shoulder pads). Previous reports described this clawed battlestaff as also being electrified, because the big spikey claws didn’t quite look sinister enough as is.

This gorgeous animatronic creature looks a little more The Last Guardian than The Last Jedi. The environment seems to match set pictures from filming for Canto Bight, some of the first pictures ever seen from filming— and the gated, horse- esque creature could be from a stable we recently heard of in a set report that Finn and Rose duck into during an elaborate chase sequence that ends up with them riding this creature, allegedly called a Falthier. Look, I don’t have anything to add here other than HOW COOL DOES THIS ICY WOLF LOOK!? A very tiny Casino staff member on Canto Bight prepares his space- gambling table. The design is very reminiscent of Colonel Gascon from Clone Wars, who was from a diminutive race called the Zilkin. Our best look yet at Laura Dern’s mysterious new character—Resistance Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo. Watch Capture Kill Release Dailymotion.

She might be sharing a warm greeting with General Organa here, but we’ve heard quite a few reports that she ends up playing a more antagonistic role despite being on the hero’s side. The internet’s boyfriend Poe Dameron takes his seat in a cockpit—one that appears to be a cockpit of one of the Resistance Skimmers we saw gorgeously gliding across Crait’s salted surface in the first trailer. This seemingly innocuous shot of Chewie might come during a jokey sequence from John Boyega mocking director Rian Johnson, but note the environment: he’s on the Resistance ship bridge set we’ve seen Poe, Leia, and Finn all on as well. Given it doesn’t appear that he instantly returns to the Resistance after dropping Rey on Ahch- To, could he have come back with a few more passengers in tow when he eventually does?

We saw the very close- up version of this in the trailer itself, but this wider shot gives us a better look at the fact that Rey is seemingly charging into battle on Ahch- To. There’s been a report floating around forever about a major duel on the planet featuring Rey, Luke, Kylo Ren, and the Knights of Ren themselves—could those be the opponents she’s running to meet here? Here’s a really good look at the full extent of the scar Rey gave Kylo Ren during their Force Awakens duel. You’ll note, as we previously reported, Kylo’s scar has moved a couple inches to the side compared to where Rey actually slashed him—a continuity- bending choice by Rian Johnson because he thought the first scar placement looked goofy. Luke stands tall on Ahch- To, but he’s had a change of clothes from his white robes. We got a brief glimpse of this look at Star Wars Celebration a few months ago, but this our best full look at it. This shot was heavily obscured in the initial trailer, but if you didn’t notice, here’s confirmation that Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) and a bunch of Stormtroopers are responsible for that massive explosion aboard the Resistance ship Poe is on.

Note the unfortunate tattered ruins of Black Leader’s X- Wing in the foreground. Speaking of Black Leader, here’s Poe sliding into a trench on what appears to be Crait—could this be earlier in the same sequence we saw at the very start of the reel? Rose, with a different hairstyle, sits on the landing bay of the Millennium Falcon. You can just make out that she’s been crying, so something pretty bad’s probably happened..

But first, a very quick look at another mysterious new addition to the Star Wars galaxy, played by Benicio Del Toro. We know nothing about this character other than the fact that he was referred to on set as “DJ”. You can just about glimpse BB- 8 in this shot too. A Resistance Gunner takes her place in the nose turret of one of the bombers we saw in the space battle of the first trailer—but not just any gunner. Rian Johnson has confirmed that this is, in fact, Paige Tico (Veronica Ngo), Rose’s sister. Beloved family member in a precarious combat position?

Well, maybe something happens to her and that’s why Rose looked so upset.
