Reviews of the latest films headlined by Ma Dong-seok and Anne Hathaway.

South Korean superstar Ma Dong-seok and his knuckles return as Detective Ma Seok-do to investigate an internet gambling scam.

The hero is no fool, though. He knows to entrust the digital stuff to the cybercrime unit, so this fourth instalment remains happily old-school as Ma and his Seoul Metropolitan Police squad proceed with their usual business of pulverising bad guys.Ma Dong-seok has the charisma to convince as a big-hearted bruiser, and his rough justice – dispensed with a comically weary expression that says, “You leave me no choice but to hurt you” – is his down-to-earth appeal.

The pop act in the romcom The Idea Of You, adapted from Robinne Lee’s 2017 same-titled beach read, are based on the British quintet One Direction.
