SNAKE EYES: G.I. JOE ORIGINS

12A FILM

OUT NOW CINEMAS

For the third film inspired by the toy line, Henry Golding takes up the role of Snake Eyes, a cage fighter whose pursuit of vengeance for his father’s murder leads him to join a Japanese yakuza boss’ posse. Spirited away to Tokyo, Golding’s fighter must undertake three trials to prove himself. While director Robert Schwentke delivers solid martial-arts action, a muscled-up Golding makes for a charismatic lead. Though the same can’t be said for Samara Weaving’s wooden Scarlett, Snake Eyes is a serviceable improvement on its predecessors. James Mottram
