COSMIC SIN
Cert 15 ★★
On digital and DVD from tomorrow
These days, having Bruce Willis on a movie poster isn’t a sign of quality.
It isn’t even a sign that it’s a Bruce Willis movie.
In recent years, the Pulp Fiction star has been happy to cash in his famous pate with cameo roles in B-movies. So it comes as something of a surprise when he hangs around for most of this low-budget sci-fi.
It’s the 26th century and humanity has colonised other worlds with the aid of a “quantum” device that bends the rules of space time. They’ve also developed a solar systemdestroying weapon of mass destruction called the “Q-bomb”.
Willis plays a renegade general tasked with leading a crack squad of unknown actors (and Frank Grillo) to nuke the home planet of fascist aliens.
It looks cheap and makes very little sense but there are some fun fights and a couple of amusing lines.
Fans of Grillo shouldn’t read too much into his prominent place alongside Willis on the poster. He’s hardly in it.
Bruce must be fuming.
(2.30) ran better last time out over this Naas C&D but his jumping remains a huge concern.
ADAM YATES survived a nasty crash to finish in second spot on his debut for Ineos Grenadiers in the UAE Tour.
The Brit, 28, finished 35 seconds behind overall winner Tadej Pogacar after rivals slowed up to allow him to be treated for cuts to his face.
There appeared to be a tangle between the Ineos riders in the peloton with about 40km to go on yesterday’s final stage and Yates (right) landed face down.
The collision happened on a straight stretch of road and Yates hit his head hard as others fell around him.
Pogacar, the 2020 Tour de France winner, had to take evasive action while Ineos’ Daniel Martinez had to abandon the race before the end of the stage.
Lotto-Soudal’s Caleb Ewan won the final stage after a bunch sprint.
