THE COLONY

Cert 15, £17.99, Blu-ray £19.99

The 1973 Chilean coup forms the backdrop for a daft prisondrama/escapemovie lacking shade, texture and anything resembling excitement.

Harry Potter’s Emma Watson plays a British air stewardess whose visit to Santiago coincides with the country’s military coup.

When her politically active boyfriend (Daniel Bruhl) is arrested and sent to a cult-like commune for re-education, run by Michael Nyqvist’s paedophile, she resolves to join up and help her beau escape.
