ROUND UP
ith cinemas shuttering, several movies reviewed recently have been fast-tracked for digital release, well ahead of hitting physical formats. The biggest: Harley Quinn (27 April, VOD/download), in which the Joker’s former squeeze is drawn into a comedy crime caper, as every lowlife in the city chases a girl who’s swallowed a diamond belonging to a psycho crime boss. We said: “It’s slight, has no real depth, and the plot is near non-existent, but it has an energy, buzz and full-throttle commitment to its central conceit that’s downright infectious.” ’s Elisabeth Moss stars in Blumhouse’s (out now, VOD), playing a woman whose controlling tech-billionaire ex becomes a see-through stalker. We said: “The cinematography and sound design is impeccably spooky; the violence is creatively nasty. But what really makes this movie work is Moss’s performance. Her trauma is absolutely convincing, her terror contagious.” In (out now, download), the extra-terrestrial erinaceus is obsessively pursued by US Defense Department scientist Doctor Robotnik (Jim Carrey, positively feasting upon the scenery). We said: “The movie’s let down by Sonic’s unexciting vocals, but some of the quips are genuinely witty and there’s Easter eggs aplenty for fans of the game.” Finally: animated sequel will be available via Sky Store and other platforms by the time you read this.
