In these challenging times when cinema-goers are required to stay in, Roadshow Films is giving movie lovers across the country the ability to experience some of the biggest cinematic releases in the comfort of their homes.

The films to be released over the next week, include DC Blockbuster BIRDS OF PREY AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN, Guy Ritchie’s sophisticated action-comedy, THE GENTLEMEN, thought-provoking true story JUST MERCY and high-octane Australian family film GO! amongst others.

The compelling slate includes films that were either partway through their theatrical run, or which have recently completed their theatrical run in Australia and New Zealand and are being released express to in-home as a temporary measure in response to the COVID-19 crisis and the forced closure of cinemas.

“These are some of our most popular releases of the year and we are pleased to be able to bring them into Australian homes, express from the cinemas, in these extraordinary times” said Joel Pearlman, CEO Roadshow Films. “Roadshow Films has been entertaining Australians for over 80 years and we remain committed to bringing the best quality local and international entertainment to Australian movie lovers.”

The early release films will be available to buy on digital download from this weekend.

There are double and triple crosses a plenty in this examination of the marijuana trade and you don’t know where things really stand until the very last of its multiple endings. The byzantine script makes full use of the set up and the film ends with a final reveal that is a self-referential joy to behold.

The cast is incredibly cool with naughty boy Hugh Grant providing the voiceover storyline and Charlie Hunnam showing he hasn’t lost any of his acting chops after a few miss-step roles. Matthew McConaughey is top notch as well and goes against gangster type by loving the misses to the very end. Said lady played by Michelle Dockery leaves her wholesome Downton Abbey persona far far behind.

Ritchie reveals a maturity that buttresses his learned experience from a number of projects that didn’t show his skills in the best light. He’s returned to where it all began and we the audience are richer for the experience. 2019 has been a stellar year for crime dramas.
