When a large cocaine shipment goes missing, an

investigation is launched to find out what has

happened to the drugs. The Cook (Nicolas Cage) and The Man (Laurence Fishburne) are sent out to get to the bottom of the situation.

A hardened gang, made up of criminals and dirty

cops, is tasked with getting information on a Russian gangster’s husband. To do this, they fake a ‘999’ or officer-down scenario, with the new partner of one of the gang members as the target. However, their scheme doesn’t go to plan, and before long the finger of suspicion points in their direction. The glittering cast includes Kate Winslet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Gal Gadot, Aaron Paul, Casey Affleck, Anthony Mackie and Woody Harrelson.

The Bank Job

Petty criminal turned London car dealer Terry’s life is

far from exciting. He’s married with a family, but

struggling to make ends meet. When a former flame

(Saffron Burrows) walks back into his world with an

offer of a bank robbery that could set him up for life,

Terry jumps at the idea. He puts together a crew to

pull off the heist, only to discover that he’s merely a

pawn in a much bigger, rather more deadly, scheme.

Jason Statham heads the cast, with Daniel Mays and Richard Lintern.

a one-man war against Colombian guerrillas. Arnold
