DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOUR AMONG THIEVES

If you are excepting a live-action big screen re-telling of the popular 80s cartoon, you’ll be sadly disappointed, as was I. This does, however, have its moments delivering a fun but forgettable famil
y adventure perfect for the Easter holidays. When a professional thief (Chris Pine) is separated from his daughter after a heist goes wrong, he begins an epic journey to reunite with her, including breaking out of prison, and confronting former allies turned enemies. The cast are what makes this adventure fun, with Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez leading the line well. Regé-Jean Page is excellent as a princely warrior who takes on everything in a quite literal sense, resulting in some funny set-pieces. But it’s Hugh Grant who steals his scenes as a scampish rogue who double-crosses his former allies. I have no idea why any of these people made this film, but its mildly enjoyable all the same.
