Trailer watch: Which movie should you go see this weekend?

What’s a must-watch, and what’s a miss? We tell you.

THE WEEKEND IS coming up, and that means new movies for you to see. But which is a must-watch, and are there any you should avoid?

We take a look.

Chappie

Sony Pictures Entertainment / YouTube

What we know

The world’s first robot police units are created by a young buck (Dev Patel), but a saucy baddie with a mullet wants to a put a stop to things.

What the critics say

  • “Sadly, there’s a qualitative loss in Chappie that eventually transforms the director’s former naivety into proper silliness” - Twitch Film

What’s it rated?

Appropriate Behaviour

peccadillopictures / YouTube

What we know A young bisexual woman nurses a broken heart and fears becoming a loser. Will she grow up? What the critics say

  • “…this tart, sexually frank portrait of a disintegrating relationship — and its long, bitter aftermath — packs plenty of punch in its best scenes, but it also frequently tests audience patience” - Variety
  • “…feels like a unique vision of life seen through unique eyes.” - RogerEbert.com
  • “Akhavan’s blend of cultural insights and sweetly relatable, self-deprecating humor provide a charming showcase for a new filmmaker worthy of discovery.” - IndieWire

What’s it rated?

Unfinished Business

20th Century Fox / YouTube

What we know

Vince Vaughn sets up his own business, and travels to Germany to shake on a deal. But then he finds out he’s up against his old nemesis. Frolics ensue.

What the critics say  

  • “…it’s hard to deliver a good buddy comedy when two of the buddies in question are such narrative deadweights.” - Variety
  • “…the fact that it can’t spell out the basics of this business deal  is indicative of a general lack of focus and an inconsistency in tone.” – The Wrap

    Hailo had to add that feature because it was the next step …….and to keep up with other apps that have that feature before them ….e.g…cab:app

    My husband left a cab company recently. The company sold the controlling share to the guy named above. They thought that they could sell the drivers rent as part of the business package, (Approx’ €5K per year),forgetting that the drivers hire the cab company to supply them with work, and they work for the driver. Not wanting any association withthe new owners, he fired them.

    He wondered why, as he calls it “the Weakest Lynk”, chose the exact same colour branding as Hailo? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I suppose.

    Lynk taxis. €25 free sign up. €5 per journey if you pay by card but wait there’s a €3 booking fee before you sit in the taxi. It is removed after you use your “free” €25. So, free €10 sign up.

    They do. I got a taxi that usually costs less than €5 and cost me over €8. Minus the “five” free. When you contact them they say that is taken off when your €25 is up.
