  Badland Hunters

  4.0
  Action, Adventure, Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller  •  South Korea

  Slickly helmed by stunt guy and first-time director Heo Myung-Haeng, ‘Badland Hunters’ is some rollicking fun not to be taken too seriously.

  Men On The Dragon

  3.5
  Comedy, Drama, Sport  •  Hong Kong

  Each of the protagonists has their own trial to overcome, each has a solid character arc, and each contributes to the infectious enthusiasm created herein.

  The Boy And The Heron

  4.0
  Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Fantasy  •  Japan

  Beginning somewhat sombre and low key before exploding into a cavalcade of colour and crazy (talking) creatures, ‘The Boy And The Heron’ is pure unbridled Miyazaki.

  Bodyguard Kiba 2

  3.0
  Action, Crime, Drama, Martial Arts  •  Japan

  Not as riotously entertaining as the first instalment, ‘Bodyguard Kiba 2’ is still a fun watch, mainly to see Chiba strutting his cool stuff and for the impressive fight scenes that open and close the film.

  Bodyguard Kiba

  Action, Crime, Drama, Martial Arts  •  Japan

  Existing in its own heightened reality, ‘Bodyguard Kiba’ is all about making our hero look cool (and indestructible!) and the bad guys as nasty as possible.

  Owing a lot to likes of ‘Evil Dead’ (and other 80s style demon/zombie/gore films) Kenichi Ugana puts enough of his own spin and Japanese style quirk into proceedings to make it his own.
