We take a look.

Chappie

What we know

The world’s first robot police units are created by a young buck (Dev Patel), but a saucy baddie with a mullet wants to a put a stop to things.

What we know A young bisexual woman nurses a broken heart and fears becoming a loser. Will she grow up? What the critics say

  • “…this tart, sexually frank portrait of a disintegrating relationship — and its long, bitter aftermath — packs plenty of punch in its best scenes, but it also frequently tests audience patience” - Variety
  • “…feels like a unique vision of life seen through unique eyes.” - RogerEbert.com
  • “Akhavan’s blend of cultural insights and sweetly relatable, self-deprecating humor provide a charming showcase for a new filmmaker worthy of discovery.” - IndieWire

Unfinished Business

20th Century Fox / YouTube

What we know

Vince Vaughn sets up his own business, and travels to Germany to shake on a deal. But then he finds out he’s up against his old nemesis. Frolics ensue.

What the critics say  

  • “…it’s hard to deliver a good buddy comedy when two of the buddies in question are such narrative deadweights.” - Variety
  • “…the fact that it can’t spell out the basics of this business deal  is indicative of a general lack of focus and an inconsistency in tone.” - The Wrap
