LOGAN (CERT 15, 137 MINS)

World-weary Logan (Hugh Jackman) lives under his birth name, James Howlett, in a tumbledown ranch in the desert with an albino tracker called Caliban (Stephen Merchant). They care for ailing Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart), who is prone to violent psychic seizures, which paralyse humans and mutants alike within an ever-expanding radius. Out of the blue, a nurse called Gabriela (Elizabeth Rodriguez) contacts Logan and offers him 50,000 US dollars to drive a mysterious girl called Laura (Dafne Keen) to “a place up north” called Eden. The child is a vital link to a new generation of mutants and is being pursued by Transigen head surgeon Dr Zander Rice (Richard E Grant). Logan hits the road accompanied by Professor Xavier and Laura, with Transigen’s thuggish head of security, Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook), in hot pursuit.
