A STREET CAT NAMED BOB (12A)

JAMES (Luke Treadaway, right) sleeps rough and earns a few precious coins each day by playing his guitar. Every week he visits support worker Val (Joanne Froggatt), who oversees the methadone programme that is the first step towards defeating his heroin addiction.

Val secures James a flat to aid his recovery and the busker makes two new friends: a free-spirited neighbour called Belle (Ruta Gedmintas), and a stray cat, which he christens Bob.

Bob’s presence at busking gigs inspires generosity from normally resistant passersby and James’ confidence that he can turn his life around grows. However, Val is concerned that James might be anchoring his entire recovery to an animal, who could slink away just as quickly as he arrived.

THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS (12A)

SET shortly after the First World War, Tom (Michael Fassbender) seeks a peaceful existence.

He puts himself Michael forward for the role of Fassbender lighthouse keeper on and Alicia the uninhabite­d Janus Vikander Rock off the west coast of Australia, where he falls for the vibrant Isabel (Alicia Vikander), who lives in the harbour town.

They marry and lead an idyllic life, but as time passes, they’re delivered devastatin­g blows to any hope of having a family. One day, a rowing boat washes ashore. Inside they find a dead man and a crying baby.

Isabel pleads with Tom to raise the girl as their own. Despite his reservatio­ns, he relents and the trio flourish miles from inquisitiv­e locals.

But, on a visit to the mainland, Tom discovers a local woman, Hannah (Rachel Weisz) who’s grieving a husband and child lost at sea. He contacts her anonymousl­y; a decision that sets into a motion a chain of events with devastatin­g and long-lasting consequenc­es.

THE ACCOUNTANT (15)

CHRISTIAN WOLFF (Ben Affleck, right) investigat­es embezzleme­nt, insider trading and other financial irregulari­ties in criminal enterprise­s.

He works alone and is ruthless in his pursuit of wrongdoing.

The Treasury Department, led by financial crimes director, Raymond King (JK Simmons), is determined to expose Wolff as the shadowy figure called The Accountant.

King blackmails analyst Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) into following the evidence and confirming Wolff’s involvemen­t.

Meanwhile, Wolff is hired by Living Robotics CEO Lamar Blackburn (John Lithgow), to verify the findings of in-house accountant Dana Cummings (Anna Kendrick), that more than $60m of company funds have gone astray, only for Wolff’s examinatio­n of the data to coincide with a series of deaths orchestrat­ed by a hit man (Jon Bernthal).
