Even though we kindly offered you ungrateful swine free tickets to see this, we thought we should review the bugger anyway, even though it’s another one that’s been doing the rounds for the best part of a year –but hey, it’s quite good…if you like films that replace the cameraman with a lizard and most of the script with acid flashbacks….

Over the years Sir Maurice Micklewhite has been is some right old guff. For every moment of quiet gravitas as Alfred The Butler there’s a ‘Shadow Run’ waiting to quietly derail things.

Far be it for us to diss the movies, but with the likes of 24 and..erm…Relic Hunter…the small screen has long had more than it’s fair share of high-octane action. Fortunately for those of us who prefer Cinema’s unique buzz, Crank directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have decided to combine the two, pitching an hour-long drama to NBC this week.
Given the sheer lunacy the pair bought to the Stath-starring mechanical heart/synthetic drug explosion-a-thons, the series-tentatively titled Zeroes – has a lot to live up to, but the pair aren’t worried;
“We want to drop right into it and sustain the absolute most berserk state of crisis, when all of the options have been exhausted” says Taylor in the Hollywood Reporter.
What do you think-can the human brain take 26 episodes of berserk? Or should they stick to the DVD market?

It’s a sad fact that racism and neo-Nazi groups are still present in modern Europe, and writer Ozgur Yildrim scores bonus points for his realistic depiction of the troubles faced by immigrants in this occasionally taught gangster drama.
