I, DANIEL BLAKE (15)

DANIEL Blake (Dave Johns, pictured), a 59-year-old joiner, has recently suffered a heart attack and his doctor has signed him off work until he recovers. Following an assessment by telephone, a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions arrives in the post, which reveals he is not entitled to sickness benefit.

In order to qualify for jobseeker’s allowance, he has to agree to spend his week pointlessly looking for employment or attending a CV workshop, where he clashes with the officious staff.

During one foray in search of compassion, Daniel meets feisty single mother Katie (Hayley Squires) and her two young children, Dylan (Dylan McKiernan) and Daisy (Briana Shann), who have been moved hundreds of miles from London into rundown council accommodation in Newcastle.

Despite his woes, Daniel becomes a fatherly figure to Katie, completing simple DIY tasks to ensure her accommodation is tolerable.

Cruel fate sinks its talons into both Daniel and Katie, and they are forced to make terrible choices to keep their heads above water.

JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK (12A)

JACK REACHER (Tom Cruise) is living off the grid as he brings down men and women in uniform who abuse their position.

En route to a face-to-face meeting with his successor, Major Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders), Reacher discovers that she has been accused of espionage. When associates of Turner are slain before they can testify, Reacher realises that he has stumbled upon a wider conspiracy involving overseas shipments of weaponry.

Against the odds, Reacher springs Turner from her high-security holding cell so they can expose corruption within the Army ranks.

However, a tenacious assassin called The Hunter (Patrick Heusinger) is on their trail, flanked by violent henchmen, who will stop at nothing to silence witnesses. Cobie Smulders and Tom Cruise

TROLLS (U)

ONCE a year on the Trollstice, a race of ogres called Bergens feast on shiny trolls. King Gristle Sr (voiced by John Cleese) and his head chef (Christine Baranski) lead the festivities until the trolls, led by King Peppy (Jeffrey Tambor), escape.

Twenty years later, Princess Poppy (Anna Kendrick, pictured) has succeeded as ruler of the trolls, who sing, dance, enjoy group hugs and feverishly glue felt and paper into their scrapbooks in their new home.

Everyone except for pessimistic Branch (Justin Timberlake), who lives in a Bergen-proof bunker.

When the Bergen chef discovers the new troll village and captures several of Poppy’s friends, the princess and Branch embark on a rescue mission.
