12 Rounds

This week one-time world wrestling champ John Cena plays an honest cop who gets to grips with a vengeful arms dealer in the thriller 12 Rounds. Meanwhile a suicidal kid comes back to haunt the bullies in Tormented.

Villainous Aiden Gillen kidnaps his girl...and to find her Cena must negotiate a series of traps and clues, the 12 Rounds of the title, left by the mad mastermind in this high-speed rough and tumble action flick.

Just a hop across the Atlantic, David Belle and Cyril Rafaelli return as the ethical ghetto kid and honourable cop who do battle with the grasping wrong ‘uns as they cross Parisian rooftops at a fast sprint in District 13: Ultimatum.

This time they've got to contend with black, white, Arab and Asian warlords...as well as a bunch of renegade killer cops led by Monseiur Nasty Daniel Duval.

On a quieter note (but in the same city), the action is of a more comported nature in Cheri where Michelle Pfeiffer plays ageing courtesan who falls for Cheri, the young son of a former rival.

It's the first time the actress has teamed up with the writing and directing team of Christopher Hampton and Stephen Frears since Dangerous Liasons in 1988.

In Tormented, there's shocks a-plenty as a fat, friendless asthmatic schoolboy is driven to suicide by classroom bullies and indifferent teachers, only to return from the dead to wreak revenge.

We've also got  Angels & Demons, with Tom Hanks as the crack symbologist who's called in by the Vatican when The Iluminati – an ancient anti-Catholic organisation - hatch a revenge plot to destroy the church.

Horror fans get a special treat with Last House on the Left, a needle-sharp remake of Sam Raimi's much-banned "nasty" from 1972.

There's also plenty of thrills in the nasty-things-happening-down-on-the-farm prequel Messengers 2: The Scarecrow and the barking "Snakes on a Plane...but with ants" comedy horror Infestation.

Emma Thomson playing an airport worker who falls for American jingle writer Dustin Hoffman in the romantic comedy Last Chance Harvey.

Scottish-set drama New Town Killers  sees a pair of loathsome private bankers get their kicks paying penniless chavs to act as prey in a warped hunting game.

The wham-bam fuel-injected actioner Fast & Furious reunites The Fast And The Furious stars Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, as ace car thief and dogged detective. 

And don't forget we still have Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in Race To Witch Mountain, one of 2009's very best family films.
