On paper Lynne Ramsay's art-house thriller looks like it's channelling Taxi Driver plus any Luc Besson thriller you care to mention: brutal mercenary (Phoenix) takes on a mission to free a senator's daughter, but the job goes bad, to say the least.

However, it's not just the story, but how you tell it - the plot itself is cut down to the bone, and the film is built around the way the director presents a succession of tiny details, a broodingly intense performance from Phoenix, and a driving score from Jonny Greenwood. Pretty heavy stuff throughout, with some graphic violence and a relentlessly bleak vision of the world, but not the kind of film you can really look away from once it has you in its grasp. Not sure it really qualifies as entertainment, but an impressive work of art.
