Movies This Week – 23-08-17

Has the Cruiser made a good movie? It’s the first in a while where he has stepped away from being a super hero/ spy of some description. He can act when he tries. Otherwise, it’s a pretty damn good week with Lucky Logan and Detroit both receiving much love from our in house critics. Funny to have three good movies in one week, but we won’t complain…
