A man known as Papillon (Steve McQueen) is wrongly convicted of murder and sent to a French prison colony in South America, before forging an unlikely friendship with another inmate, Louis Dega (Dustin Hoffman). The pair begin to plot their escape while simultaneously battling barbaric conditions, harsh punishments and plenty of betrayal along the way. Papillon is rightfully regarded as one of the finer releases of the 1970’s. It’s worth noting that the movie is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Law Abiding Citizen (2009) – Review

Leave a reply

When the United States justice system fails to properly punish those responsible for a brutal crime, Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) takes matters into his own hands. What begins as a straightforward quest for revenge quickly evolves into a carefully planned assault on the legal system itself, leaving prosecutor Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx) struggling to keep up. Law Abiding Citizen is a compelling and thought-provoking film that still holds up perfectly in 2025. It’s worth noting that the movie is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Leave a reply

Struggling away from home and finding his place at Oxford University, student Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) quickly finds himself drawn into the glitzy world of the charming and extremely wealthy Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi), who consequently invites him to Saltburn, his wildly eccentric family estate, for a summer never to be forgotten. A unique plot which will more than likely divide opinion, but in my eyes, worthy of a watch. Saltburn is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
