DVD of the WEEK!

Starring: Jason Statham, Ray Winstone, Sam Riley, 50 Cent, Mickey Rourke.

You enter the store and peruse the new-release shelves. Spot the line-up and pick it up. You pause (briefly) to wonder why it's gone straight to DVD without so much as a blip on the radar. Shrug, pull a face at the rom-com your missus picked out, and grunt, "Nah, this one..."

Then you get home and find it's a thriller about a dude who accidentally enters a Russian roulette comp and has to see it though -- like if someone made an entire film by recycling the Deer Hunter's infamous scene. D'oh.
