Mutiny

Mutiny

2026 · Mid-Day

Mutiny has the makings of a gripping Jason Statham thriller, but struggles to bring its emotional and dramatic threads to life. The film moves through familiar action territory without delivering enough impact, while its talented cast and intriguing characters are left with limited room to shine.

One Night Only

One Night Only

2026 · Mid-Day

One Night Only takes a wildly bizarre premise and turns it into a refreshingly funny, charming rom-com. With sharp humour, a playful will-they-won't-they romance, chaotic twists and perfectly timed cameos, the film keeps things light and entertaining.

Babita Singh Reporting

Babita Singh Reporting

2026 · Mid-Day

The slow-burn mystery works best as a story of self-worth, with Baby gradually learning to stop pleasing everyone. Babita Singh Reporting has a cop who can't even get leave from work without creating a whole new problem for herself.

Backrooms

Backrooms

2026 · Mid-Day

Kane Parsons' feature debut delivers exactly what you would hope for - a deeply unsettling trip into liminal horror. For newcomers, however, the experience may feel like wandering through an endless maze without a map.

Masters of the Universe

Masters of the Universe

2026 · Mid-Day

Masters of the Universe delivers stunning visuals, strong performances from Nicholas Galitzine and Idris Elba, and an emotionally compelling take on Prince Adam. However, an overlong runtime, uneven pacing, and excessive humour undermine its epic ambitions, resulting in a visually impressive but ultimately inconsistent He-Man reboot.

Disclosure Day

Disclosure Day

2026 · Mid-Day

Steven Spielberg returns to familiar territory with Disclosure Day, a sci-fi thriller that blends conspiracies and extraterrestrial encounters. Led by strong performances from Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor, the film combines conspiracy thrills, forgotten memories and extraterrestrial mysteries.

Your Fault: London

Your Fault: London

2026 · Mid-Day

While the sequel offers plenty of emotional drama and strong chemistry between its leads, it often relies too heavily on misunderstandings.
