KNOCKOUT REVIEWS PRESENTS:  

You aren't likely to find reviews for all the films ever made here. Nor are you likely to find reviews for all the good or bad ones. BUT! you will get reviews for films that our crack team of review-slaves have seen recently, either at home or at the cinema. Which had damn well better be good enough for you.

New Reviews:

Tom Cruise! its possible that this is just a film for his big fat oscar-wanting head, but then its possible that this is a film trying to kick some ass using swords / general cool stylings of the eastern 'way'. On the other hand it could be an intelligent discussion of social and political change. Get to grips with the many possibilities in our sexually-devious review.

If you didn't like ghostbusters, its unfortunate for you that bill murray plays exactly the same character here as he did whilst wearing a proton-throwing backpack. In fact the similarities between the two films are quite remarkable. Consider this whilst knowing that I have in fact just made up this connection, and there are no links whatsoever (other than that murray is in it).

The screens seem to be alive with cartoons from all over the world at the moment, what with Spirited Away, Finding Nemo, and now this, a gutsy european offering that isn't apparently aimed at kids. I guess we should hope we aren't entering Hentai territory here, people...
