Director Edward Berger follows up his Vatican drama Conclave with another movie set within a small city with a distinctive personality. This time it's the Asian gambling mecca of Macau, a cross between the tacky glitz of Las Vegas and the exclusivity of Monte Carlo. It's there we find Lord Doyle (Colin Farrell), a British aristocrat whose opulent hotel room suggests he hit it big at one point on his trip, but he's now fallen heavily into debt.

Jeffrey Manchester is a currently incarcerated American prisoner who pulled off dozens of armed robberies of branches of McDonalds in the late '90s and early 2000s before his initial capture. In 2004, Manchester escaped from prison and spent months hiding out in a Charlotte, North Carolina branch of Toys R Us. During his time in Charlotte, Manchester ingratiated himself to the local community, joining a church and even dating a local woman. He was eventually caught after his fingerprint was found on a DVD copy of Catch Me If You Can.

New Release Review - "After The Hunt"

Over the past couple of decades Julia Roberts has convincingly transitioned from a great movie star to a fine actress. Recognising this, Luca Guadagnino has rewarded her with the sort of role usually reserved for the Kidmans, Blanchetts and Winslets of this world, a juicy lead part in a hot button drama. Roberts elevates the shoddy material and her magnetism ensures we're always at least partially engaged, but the film around her is an overblown mess.
