Ahead of the release of A House of Dynamite – which could make Bigelow the first woman to win the best director Oscar winner twice – we rate her hits, from Point Break to The Hurt Locker
An old-school coldwar nuclear sub thriller based on a true story from 1961, with Harrison Ford as the icily authoritarian Soviet commander busting out his Ryushhhyan acksyent. Liam Neeson plays his second-in-command, resentful at having this cold fish imposed over his head and yet destined to respect the guy. Some slightly clunky traditional moments for our two leading males, but also a few exciting ones.
