British crime thriller. A highly professional and goal-oriented businessman in the drugs trade finds his well-organised life falling into chaos when he gets mixed up with stolen Ecstasy, Serbian war criminals and a missing heiress. Could he be forced to become something he despises - an actual gangster?

Looks a bit like a Guy Ritchie movie - and not without reason, for Matthew Vaughn produced the early Ritchie films - but the tone is (thankfully) more measured and serious. The plot is nothing very distinctive, although the subtext about Craig's character having to adopt the brutal methods of the people he encounters has some interest. Good performances from a strong cast; Michael Gambon is scary as a gang boss, but it's Daniel Craig's movie. This is apparently the performance that swung Bond for him, but the film deserves to be recognised on its own merits.

Tokyo Xanadu Ex+ is an enhanced version of the original with an extra story chapter, two new characters, and additional mini games. The dungeon exploration feels similar to games like Persona and The Legends Of Heroes, but it's a lot of fun. You have one active character, but you can switch between party members quickly and this is actually part of the strategy for some of the boss battles. The combat is fun and easy to get into. The main story itself is pretty good and there are side quests that have stories that fit alongside the main story. There are also fun mini games to play like a skateboarding course. The game itself is really charming, fun to play, and it has a lot of interesting characters.
