Summary
GI JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA (12A) Based on the popular, militarythemed action figures, GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra is an action adventure by numbers from the director of The Mummy and Van Helsing, starring Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans, Sienna Miller and former Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston. Aimed squarely at teenage boys with limited attention spans, Stephen Sommers's all-guns- blazing romp has big weapons, bigger explosions and visual effects- heavy sequences aplenty.

Star rating: MESRINE: KILLER INSTINCT (15) Released in two parts at opposite ends of this month, Mesrine is an epic and brutal tale of crime and punishment inspired by the true-life exploits of one of France's most notorious criminals. Director Jean-Francois Richet pulls no punches with the explosions of violence as he chronicles the rise and fall of Jacques Mesrine in a smidgen over four hours in the two films: Killer Instinct and Public Enemy No 1 (released on August 28).See the full content of this document
