Cape Town – Tom Cruise returns as Jack Reacher, Robert De Niro is back in the ring in a boxing biopic, the Trolls have their big screen debut and Madea has a run in with 'ghosts' – there's something for everyone to see this week.
Here are 4 new movies releasing in South Africa today:
Movie: Jack Reacher: Never Go Back
Our rating: 2/5
Short review: Just another typical Tom Cruise action film, with nothing to get too excited about. The film is loaded with action-film stereotypes and cheesy one-liners.
Our rating: 2/5
Short review: Hands of Stone is a bland, unlikable portrayal of a real-life boxer that struggles to hit the highs of Rocky IV let alone Raging Bull or the original Rocky. Mark this one down as “for boxing fanatics only”.
Movie: Trolls
Our rating: 3/5
Short review: This funny, smart, colourful flick will make you sing and dance along and put you in a happy place from the moment you start watching it!
Movie: Boo! A Madea Halloween
Our rating: 2/5
Short review: Tyler Perry's latest outing as Madea is a hot mess – it's time for him to shake her off.
