WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (15)
Director Simon West struggles to sustain the tension in this remake. Newcomer Camilla Belle does an admirable job of contorting her face into a variety of grimaces to convey concern, confusion, terror and constipation as the damsel in distress!
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III (12A)
Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in the third and most coherent mission so far. Action set pieces are spectacular, and the screenwriters keep the hairpin twists to a minimum and concentrate on characterisation. Philip Seymour Hoffman's bad guy is terrifically menacing.
