For fans of: Super heroes, tight pants, kicking ass

Avoid if: You’re a pacifist

Mindy/Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz) tries to act like a normal teenager, but can’t escape her superhero roots. Meanwhile, Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) joins the ranks of vigilantes, and Red Mist becomes the world’s first super villain. This is the sequel to Kick Ass, and Mindy’s escape from forced retirement could be the key to fighting Red Mist’s power.

2 Guns

For fans of: Guns, lads, laughs

Avoid if: You’ve seen it all before

Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg play two crooks who steal $40 million dollars from a bank… and then discover they were both acting undercover for the DEA and Naval intelligence respectively. Of course, the unlikely twosome soon find themselves working together and against the mob who set them up in the first place. The trailer features a woeful cover of Jimi Hendrix’s ‘All Along the Watchtower’. Maybe that bodes badly…

Call Girl

For fans of: The Killing, thrillers

This Swedish film is set in 1970s Stockholm, and is based on a real-life prostitution scandal. We meet two young teenage girls who fall in with a madam and are groomed by her to become sex workers, and the young detective charged with investigating the case. Dark.
