GHETTO BLASTERS
Total Film|June 2021
SHORTA I A ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that shreds the nerves…
GHETTO BLASTERS

Shorta is an Arabic word for ‘police’, and this explosive action-drama by Danish writer-directors Frederik Louis Hviid and Anders Ølholm starts with a Muslim teen hospitalized by a cop. Tensions run high, and Copenhagen’s Svalegården ghetto erupts when the teen later dies… just as two white police officers, Jens (Simon Sears) and Mike (Jacob Lohmann), enter the area. What follows owes a debt to gritty ’70s thrillers The Warriors and Assault On Precinct 13 as the duo of cops, their cruiser smashed, try to make it out.

Snow Time to Die - Red One J.K. Simmons' Santa gets kidnapped. Luckily, Dwayne Johnson's on hand to save him...

If 2022's Violent Night gave us Die Hard in a Santa suit, Jake Kasdan's Red One could be retitled North Pole Has Fallen. The world imagined by Kasdan finds Saint Nick kidnapped two days before Christmas Eve. It's up to Dwayne Johnson's head of security, Callum Drift, and Chris Evans' unscrupulous hacker-for-hire, Jack O'Malley, to hunt down the man in red in time for the big day.

Back With a Vengeance - Sir Ridley Scott returns to the Colosseum with Gladiator II, the long-awaited sequel to the greatest historical epic of this century. Total Film meets the director and cast to discover how Maximus' legacy is echoing in eternity.

Ridley Scott is not a filmmaker to repeat himself. It's a trait that's all the more remarkable when you consider how prolific he's been over the nearly five decades since his feature debut, 1977's The Duellists. Alien prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant are the only times he's gone back to the same world, and those films are radical departures from the original.

Bad Romance - Timestalker Alice Lowe falls in love with the wrong man time and time again...

Her antidote to that? Timestalker a dark not-quite-romcom set over the course of centuries. Her protagonist Agnes finds herself attracted to the same man, Alex (Dunkirk's Aneurin Barnard), in every lifetime as she's reincarnated in the 1680s, 1790s, 1980s and the 22nd century. As romantic as that may sound, there's a bit of a catch: 'He's sort of a dickhead. On the surface he's appealing, but under, he's not.'
