No-one will be neutral about Plunkett and Macleane. Either you go with its notion of cheeky, stylish fun or you want to grab first-time director Jake Scott by the ear and slap him silly. Your inclination may depend on whether you recall his dad Ridley's own directing debut, The Duellists (1977), and savour the correspondences. Dad took a Joseph Conrad tale of the Napoleonic Wars, cast it with the ultra-contemporary Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel, and filmed it with a swooping, mobile camera. Son Jake has made a feisty period piece about a pair of thieves (Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller) in 1748 London and filled it with blatant anachronisms. A decadent aristo (Alan Cumming), asked whether he "still swings both ways," replies, "I swing every way!" A ballroom full of revellers dances the minuet (or is it the gavotte?) while our ears--if not theirs--are filled with a trance ballad. And so forth. Is this sophomoric? Maybe. But it's also often fresh and inventive. Why shouldn't a filmmaker be allowed to speak directly to a contemporary consciousness, even flaunt it, as long as he also delivers startling imagery and convincing period detail? The solid cast includes Michael Gambon as a corrupt magistrate, Ken Stott as a very nasty enforcer named Mr Chance (who favours a thumb through the eye socket and into the brain as a mode of execution) and Terence Rigby as a philosophical jailer. Even Liv Tyler looks more interesting than usual. In the end pretty frivolous, Plunkett and Macleane is nonetheless a lively debut. --Richard T Jameson, Amazon.com

Push the Button. You'll Know When. Welcome to Thames, New Zealand. Population: 7,518 and falling. Unless of course you're Johnny (Anton Tennet), the new member of a local gang led by Shelton (Jonathan Brugh, What We Do in the Shadows). He's multiplying. After Johnny is foiled in an effort to double-cross Shelton at his own game of masterminding the sleepy town's unsurprisingly tame criminal underbelly, he inadvertently steals an ancient bracelet with which he can turn back time and in the process create multiple clones of himself. This gives Johnny the ability to literally form his own gang against Shelton's. The only problem is: how can you learn to live your best life, when you're also having to figure out which one of you exactly that is? Oh, that and there's a demon after him for bending the rules of time, physics and just general common sense. Tim van Dammen directs this 80s-throwback supernatural crime caper, dubbed by critics as a grounded sci-fi mini-odyssey with lots of creativity and even more laugh-out-loud gags, in which a brilliant ensemble works with sharp dialogue to deliver an endearingly odd and endlessly entertaining slice of Kiwi life.
