Movie reviews of Thomas Salmon

Alienation, and being out of step with reality is the primary dramatic conceit, as we follow Sarah’s slow burning descent into the depths of her psyche, which is played with a frazzled nuance and determination by Julia Sarah Jones... Review

The well-regarded cast have fun with their roles and make the most of them. Nguyen's script lacks the emotional depth to make you really care about who wins or loses in the race to lay high-speed fibre-optic cable across America. Review

It’s Alita: Battle Angel-lite in a story that simply tries to do too much at once and teases a sequel which the first entry hasn’t properly setup or earned. Review

Godzilla stomps, punches and roars his way back to being the king of the movie monsters in this action packed and earth shattering sequel! Review

More than just metal fisted uppercuts! Review

A fond farewell to one of Hollywood’s most charismatic leading men, the incomparable Robert Redford, and it will be a real crime if you miss it! Review

The action is bone snappingly real and operatic in a story that skilfully wrestles with the emotional fallout of lives spent fighting in the shadows for the greater good. Review

A totally dumb, prequel. No, really it’s dumb, but enjoyable mayhem while it lasts. Review

Johnny Depp is the world’s greatest back-garden detective Sherlock Gnomes in a colourful family adventure that kids will enjoy on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Review

I do salute the boys for making a non London-centric horror film that tries to do something different for better or worse. Review

A charming shaggy dog adventure. Review

Dares to be different. Very different, in fact. Review

Liam Neeson is solid as a desperate father trapped on a deadly train ride trying to find a mystery passenger. Review

All style, but lacking real soul. Review

As long as horny teens go on holiday, masked killers will chop them up and audiences will always be there to watch. Review

Fills the space between forgettable and cult classic. Review

A bizzaro, tender little indy film, shot with flare and passion. Review

A confusingly jaunty tale of identity crisis, insomnia and adoption, set in the idyllic suburbs of upstate New York. Review

A sweeping martial arts epic... Review

A haunting tale of identity crisis... Review

A love bite to teen romance. Review

The spunky low-slung debut of Gillian Robespierre, roaming along the same lovelorn sidewalks. Review

A beautifully realised wartime drama with a star-making performance from Jack O’Connell... Review

It aims to be a 21st-century morality tale of the sins of the father being revisited on the son. Review
