NEVER TOO LATE hhjjj 95 minutes (M)

A BUNCH of elderly Vietnam vets plan their escape from a retirement home to tick a few last items off their bucket list. For former special ops leader Jack Bronson (James Cromwell), that means proposing to the love of his life (Jacki Weaver), who is in the early stages of dementia, before she forgets who he is. A strong seasoned cast, which also includes Jack Thompson, Dennis Waterman and Roy Billing, deserves much better material than this. Shamelessl­y sentimenta­l. Screening in cinemas now

BORAT 2: SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM Unpreviewe­d 83 minutes (CTC)

SHOT surreptiti­ously in the US as soon as COVID-19 restrictio­ns were eased, Sacha Baron Cohen’s provocativ­e sequel is releasing on Amazon a week-and-a-bit ahead of the Presidenti­al election. During a particular­ly tumultuous period in North American history, the sixth most famous person in Kazakhstan once again goes undercover to get people to reveal their true selves. Things got so hairy during filming, Cohen reportedly wore a bullet proof vest on two separate occasions. Screening on Amazon Prime Video now

HONEST THIEF Unpreviewe­d 98 minutes (M)

A PROFESSION­AL bank robber (Liam Neeson) tries to turn himself in after falling for an honest woman (Kate Walsh). But his well-meaning plans go seriously awry when his case is turned over to a couple of corrupt FBI agents, who frame him for murder. Now Tom Carter must go undergroun­d to save himself and the woman he loves. Australia’s Jai Courtney also stars in this escapist action thriller which is taking advantage of movie theatres left vacant by the absence of bigger blockbuste­rs.
