Escape Plan (2013)

Very poor. Terrible dialogue (in a bad way - the banter either falls flat or just doesn't make sense), wooden acting (and I do think better performances could have been teased from the two leads by a better director), nonsensical plot, a mass of cliches. It both wastes a load of great character actors (which makes me wonder whether the script was good at one point then got gutted after they signed up) - Neill, Caviezel, D'Onofrio, Amy Ryan - and also has fucking Vinnie Jones and fucking 50 Cent in it (both giving adequate performances as thugs, one a baddy thug and one a goody thug).

Basically, the 20 minute prison escape segment from Face/Off, but done badly and looped a few times.
Rating: Awful

Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (2013)

One third very funny, one third surprisingly sweet, and one third uncomfortable to watch in a bad way.
Rating: Good

Captain Phillips (2013)

Very tense, well-made, well-acted. Only suffers from not being able to have much structure due to being based on true events, but still recommended.
Rating: Good

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013)

Disappointing sequel to a brilliant film. There's scope for a fun take on lost world movies, but it gets bogged down with pointless returning characters and bland new ones, plus some tacked-on character reset/progression that makes Flint pretty passive and annoying. The 3D was also pretty much non-existent.

The two original director-writers only did story on this so perhaps that explains it...
Rating: Bad

Filth (2013)

A great lead performance, but no drive or depth. Essentially just a series of scenes of a nasty, fucked-up guy being nasty and fucked-up. A sledgehammer of a film.
