So far, so predictable, and in truth, the film continues along a well worn route. Hes there to nothing more than make noises and panic, to amuse younger children. I was perfectly prepared for a brief cameo at the end. Still, if theres one reason to watch this film, its the big man himself....

This humiliating tale forms one of a number of lengthy stories that Smith recounts. The stories are filled with brutal honesty, humour and vulgarity. There seems to be no subject that is taboo, no matter how embarrassing the story. He often links stories together and, sometimes, you have to work to keep up with his references.

Kate Beckinsale returns for more action fantasy in Underworld: Awakening. Here’s our verdict on the franchise’s latest toothsome entry… TheUnderworldfolks really dont mess around. As catch-up montages go, it was actually a really good one. Not that youve got a lot of plot to catch up on. There are vampires and werewolves, and theyve been at war for centuries.

They called him Houdini, and he was the best. Ad content continues below Contrabands cast, then, is probably the strength of this film. Hes charming enough and looks tough, but nottootough. Hes in shape, but hes not a muscle head. It helps that hes funny, and the script gives him some good jokes. Its distinctive, and that (plus his goatee and muttonchops) make him a memorable villain. The other characters, especially those in Farradays assembled crew, are also pretty fun....
