Adapted from Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel, this seductive, psychological thriller follows renowned author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway) and Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson), a struggling writer who relocates to the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for Verity.

After Lowen uncovers what appears to be Verity’s chilling autobiographical notes, she wrestles with the disturbing and twisted confessions about Verity’s husband Jeremy (Josh Hartnett), and finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession.

Starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Brady Wagner, Verity will be released in Aussie cinemas October 1!

We’ve never seen Jessie Buckley, as the Bride, so electric. She fills every scene with a strong sense of danger as her character transforms in a wild arc. Christian Bale, almost unrecognisable at first as Frankenstein’s Monster, fills the screen with an almost overwhelming mix of aggression and sadness. Annette Bening is also fabulous as Dr Euphronius, who is tasked with bringing the dead back to life.

Every scene has a purpose, and this kinetic energy powers the film forward throughout its two-hour running time. It constantly brings in so many other film references; it’s a film aficionado’s dream. The art exists in those moments, being presented as a tribute and not as outright thievery. Gyllenhaal even succeeds in delivering an ending that validates your care for the participants.

In a nod to Bonnie & Clyde, Sid and Nancy and many others, Frankenstein and The Bride embark on a crime-riddled romantic road trip for the ages. And it speaks to Maggie Gyllenhaal’s sure hand at the till and her obvious love of the cinema (past and present) that the final product feels so fresh and holds together so well with so many influences at play. This all equates to a rollicking good time.

Revolving around the antics of old school detective Lou (Mark Ruffalo), who is falling out of favour with the higher-ups in his all-consuming quest to take down a successful bandit. One who uses the brain instead of brawn to complete his audacious transgressions. Lou is also in the midst of a number of life-changing moments. His wife Angie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) is leaving him, and his superiors are running out of patience with his single-mindedness.

Into this situation, we are dropped in the city of Los Angeles, and it adds an important element to the story. The discrepancies between the haves and have-nots in this ever-evolving metropolis rumble underneath almost every scene. There are a number of high-power action pieces that stitch together the story and keep things moving along nicely. There is also the contrast between the staid nature of the criminal Davis and the explosive antics of fellow crim Ormon (Barry Keoghan), who creates havoc everywhere he goes.

Even though all the characters in Crime 101follow a somewhat traditional story arc, there are a number of surprises coming your way. As things progress and the tension ramps up in the final reel, you are seemingly led to a point where you feel certain of the outcome for all the parties involved. But here is where the film really delivers, and you are actually given a resolution much more satisfying and life-affirming than expected.

Through circumstance, he has to travel to the mainland for supplies and is ensnared by a secret government plan to use everyone’s phones and CCTVs to identify criminals, and this leads to the unwinding of his solitude. This breach also envelopes the life of Jesse (Bodhi Rae Breathnach), the niece of his army buddy. Together, they are forced off the island and to go on the run.

The subtext of a wide spread and illegal government spying effort adds a bit of substance to the plot, but the action mostly revolves around what drives most Statham projects: action and lots of hand-to-hand combat. Even with his advancing age, he is almost sixty after all, he still presents a convincing pugilist on screen. His inner core of morality is also intact.

Shelter succeeds in delivering what most of the British actor’s work excels at, a high percentage of action powered by a decent moral code. This makes him kicking the crap out of anyone that gets in his way, good, somewhat clean fun. The depth of the story is enhanced by an evil government ethos, and this makes for a clear definition of what is right and wrong.

Linda Liddle (Rachel McAdams) is a mousey office worker who tries the patience of all her co-workers with her clumsy attempts at connection and over-the-top positivity. This hides a deeply lonely person who lives by herself, with her only real friend being a pet bird. When the patriarch of the company she works for passes away and she is overlooked for promotion in favour of the arsehole son, her world becomes that much dimmer.

With the establishment of that situation, the things that happen from that point on are a joy to behold. Since this is a Raimi film after all, the humour resides in both the gore and the situational comedy. As Lidddle comes into her own, you cheer her on the entire way. Seeing the emergence of the strength of her actual character charges the film with an energy that is hard to resist.

This girl power work is wildly compelling, and seeing the men in Lidddle’s life receive the comeuppance is totally satisfying. That the film goes through so many changes in mood and temperament and never loses its forward momentum shows Raimi working at the peak of his substantial powers. It’s a great date night film, but only for those with a strong sense of how powerful women can be.
