1 At Hampshire cinemas…

Retribution and regret are saddle-sore travelling companions in writer-director Scott Cooper’s gritty western, set during the final years of the bloodthirsty war between the United States Army and Native Americans. In Hostiles, differences between conventional heroes and villains are intriguingly blurred, and justice is seldom granted to battle-scarred characters.

Christian Bale delivers a blistering performance as a world-weary army captain, whose humanity is revitalised by an unexpected encounter with the sole survivor of a Comanche attack (Rosamund Pike).The on-screen pairing of the two British actors elevates Cooper’s film.

2 At Mottisfont…
