There's something for everyone at local cinemas this weekend


Cape Town – Steven Spielberg’s Oscar nominated film The Post hits cinemas this weekend. 

Starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep the political thriller tells the true-life story of the Washington Post journalists and their attempts to publish the Pentagon Papers, classified documents regarding the involvement of the United States government in the Vietnam War in the early 1970s.

Also showing: Taraji P. Henson plays a hitwoman and the final instalment of the Maze Runner trilogy.

Movie: Proud Mary

Our rating: 2/5

Short review: While she tries very hard Taraji P. Henson's incredible acting can't save this cliched, badly written action film from mediocrity.
