Star Trek Into Darkness | Mud | A Hijacking | The Reluctant Fundamentalist | Our Children | Deadfall | Vehicle 19 | Village At The End Of The World | Journey To Italy
**Star Trek Into Darkness** (12A) *
*(JJ Abrams, 2013, US) Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg. 132 mins**
Those cinemagoers won over by Abrams's first Star Trek movie (even if they can barely remember it now) won't be disappointed with this finely tuned follow-up, which deftly balances action crises, sci-fi repartee and the ongoing Kirk/Spock bromance, but adds enough surprises to keep things interesting, largely by way of Cumberbatch's shifty supervillain.
**Mud* (12A)
(Jeff Nichols, 2012, US) Matthew McConaughey, Tye Sheridan, Reese Witherspoon. 130 mins*
Another distinctive, beguiling southern parable from Nichols, this time tracking the friendship between two boys and the mysterious fugitive they find down by the river. It's like a mix of Stand By Me, Night Of The Hunter and Terrence Malick.
**A Hijacking* (15)
(Tobias Lindholm, 2012, Den) Pilou Asbæk, Søren Malling, Dar Salim. 101 mins*
Gripping, innovative account of a maritime hijack, and the fraught ransom negotiations that ensue between the Somali pirates and the ship's distant Danish owners. The fact that the two sides never meet only adds to the tension.
**The Reluctant Fundamentalist* (15)
(Mira Nair, 2012, US/UK/Qat) Riz Ahmed, Kate Hudson, Liev Schreiber. 130 mins*
Ahmed acquits himself well as a conflicted Pakistani-American whose post-9/11 radicalisation – the story suggests, often in excessively broad strokes – is as much a product of Wall Street as Islam.
**Our Children* (15)
(Joachim Lafosse, 2012, Bel/Lux/Fra/Swi) Emilie Dequenne, Niels Arestrup, Tahar Rahim. 111 mins*
A warped family dynamic leads to breakdown and tragedy in this unsentimental drama, as Dequenne's initial married bliss becomes an escalating battle of wills with her overbearing father-in-law.
**Deadfall* (15)
(Stefan Ruzowitzky, 2012, US) Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde, Charlie Hunnam. 95 mins*
Bana and Wilde play criminal siblings on the run in wintry Michigan in a post-heist thriller that's too packed with unlikely coincidences and silly actions to really convince.
**Vehicle 19* (12A)
(Mukunda Michael Dewil, 2013, US) Paul Walker, Naima McLean, Gys de Villiers. 83 mins*
Walker trades on his Fast & Furious driving skills (he doesn't have many others) in a traffic-trashing South African chase movie, set entirely within his mistakenly chosen rental car.
**Village At The End Of The World* (12A)
(Sarah Gavron, David Katznelson, 2012, Den/UK/Green) 82 mins*
A poignant documentary postcard from isolated Niaqornat, Greenland, where global warming and globalisation are eroding an unorthodox way of life.
**Journey To Italy* (PG)
(Roberto Rossellini, 1954, Ita) Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders, Maria Mauban. 70 mins*
Reissue for Rossellini's superb, highly influential movie, fusing marital melodrama with real locations to stirring effect.
*Out from Friday*
*The Great Gatsby*
Baz Luhrmann recreates 1920s America for a bold new take on Fitzgerald's "unfilmable" masterpiece.
Out from Thu
*Fast And Furious 6*
Vin Diesel and the gang refuel for yet another auto-action piston-headed smash-up.
*Beware Of Mr Baker*
The irascible Cream drummer looks back on an eventful life and career.
*The Stoker*
Russian maverick Alexey Balabanov crafts a grimly comical St Petersburg thriller.
*The Liability*
An aspiring crook gets a day's work experience with hitman Tim Roth in a British thriller.
*Rangeelay*
Jimmy Shergill leads a Punjabi action-romance.
*Coming soon*
*In two weeks ... *The "wolfpack" are back in *The Hangover Part III *… The spirit of '68 in Assayas's *Something In The Air *…
*In three weeks ...* Neil Jordan's vampire fest *Byzantium *… Robert De Niro smartens up for *The Big Wedding*…
*In a month ...* Shane Meadows's Stone Roses tribute *Made Of Stone *… Michael Douglas does Liberace in *Behind The Candelabra *…
