Dwayne Johnson is Hercules in this latest movie incarnation of the Greek legend, directed by Brett Ratner (Rush Hour), billed as "a revisionist take on the classic myth set in a grounded world where the supernatural does not exist."
Having endured his twelve labours penance, demigod Hercules has his life as a sword-for-hire tested when the King of Thrace and his daughter seek aid in defeating a tyrannical warlord.
Hercules is released in New Zealand cinemas this week, as is Begin Again.
The writer-director of Once returns to the music romance scene, putting Mark Ruffalo in the shoes of a failed exec who happens upon Keira Knightley’s singer-songwriter performing in a bar, having suffered a cold dumping from her now-ex-boyfriend.
When he gets an earful of her talents, the pair decides to jumpstart each other’s careers by setting up gigs all around the Manhattan streets.
I joined Firstline this morning to review these two new releases.
Watch the video.
