Sometimes I will sit down to watch a movie based solely on the fact that on paper it has checked some of my boxes! While that list does seem to be getting longer by the movie I still can’t help having to satisfy my British low-budget itch. Let me tell you though, I get even more excited when I see we are dealing with an Irish crime caper set partially in Malta.

Broken bones, stolen Bearer bonds, pregnant mobsters, super spy’s, dodgy priests (careful) and a pair of comedic gangland clowns… Kind of sounds like the title of Guy Ritchie’s autobiography. However… that… it is not, for you see dear reader today we are talking about Danny Patrick’s movie The Irish Connection.

"I cannot stress enough the importance of this mission. Good luck, stay sharp." Shout Factory has released an official Us trailer for a British bomber "war epic" titled Lancaster Skies, which originally opened in the UK in spring last year. A loving homage to the classic British war films of the 1940s and '50s, Lancaster Skies soars in its depiction of the legendary bomber crews who fought for our freedom.

There's a scene early on in Brotherhood, the concluding chapter in Noel Clarke's British Hood trilogy, in which his Sam Peel checks himself out in a changing room mirror after a rigorous gym session. He ends up sadly patting his emerging belly and you realise that whatever his original intentions for this series, Sam has become his Rocky Balboa.

Having played the antagonist in 2006's Kidulthood and then switched gears in the hit 2008 sequel Adulthood to show the difficulties of that character's life after being released from prison, Brotherhood ties up a lot of loose ends but also rediscovers Sam a little further down the line, much like Sylvester Stallone brought back his most iconic character in Rocky Balboa or Creed. Sam the character has nothing like the innate sympathy that the Italian Stallion evokes, but the connecting tissue in all...
