  Gameboy Kids

  3.0
  Action, Comedy  •  Hong Kong

  I can imagine watching it thirty years ago and wanting to throw a brick at the screen, but, imbued with a tidal wave of nostalgia today, it was a decent ninety-minute distraction.

  Nightshooters

  4.0
  Action, Comedy, Martial Arts  •  UK

  Overcoming a small budget and using a single location to its advantage, ‘Nightshooters’ is slick, laugh-out-loud funny and when it cuts loose, a full tilt action flick.

  Golden Needles

  3.0
  Action, Adventure, Martial Arts  •  USA

  Ultimately, it is Joe Don Baker that makes ‘Golden Needles’ worth tracking down; it’s by no means his best work, but he’s always great to watch.

  Action, Fantasy, Mystery  •  South Korea

  Slick and taught action thriller with a sci-fi twist, ‘Spiritwalker’ is a fine slice of modern Korean filmmaking that propels along on mounting tension, a committed cast and a fun concept.

  The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure

  3.5
  Action, Adventure, Comedy  •  South Korea

  ‘The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure’ is a big, unapologetic action film that borrows all of the pomp and bombast of its American contemporaries.
