Frank Dillon is retiring from the Army after 15 years with only £5 000 which won't last and the physical and psychological scars which will.

But what he and his mates have gone through what they've seen what they've done is something no one else will understand; and so they turn to each other - when the doors close when the pubs open when revenge is the answer when the scars are healing. As they struggle to find their feet in the world always lurking in the darkness is Barry Newman an East End gangster who is one of the few to see potential in hard men trained to kill. Whether they can avoid the darkness and stay in the light will be seen as we see life in Civvies. Special Features: Lynda La Plante Biography Cast Filmographies Subtitles

• A Beautiful Mind | Blu Ray | (28/05/2012) from £5.99   |  Saving you £14.00 (233.72%)   |  RRP £19.99

  A Beautiful Mind manages to twist enough pathos out of John Nash's incredible life story to redeem an at-times goofy portrayal of schizophrenia. Russell Crowe tackles the role with characteristic fervor, playing the Nobel prize-winning mathematician from his days at Princeton, where he developed a groundbreaking economic theory, to his meteoric rise to the cover of Forbes magazine and an MIT professorship, and on through to his eventual dismissal due to schizophrenic delusions. Of course, it is the delusions that fascinate director Ron Howard and, predictably, go astray. Nash's other world, populated as it is by a maniacal Department of Defense agent (Ed Harris), an imagined college roommate who seems straight out of Dead Poets Society, and an orphaned girl, is so fluid and scriptlike as to make the viewer wonder if schizophrenia is really as slick as depicted. Crowe's physical intensity drags us along as he works admirably to carry the film on his considerable shoulders. No doubt the story of Nash's amazing will to recover his life without the aid of medication is a worthy one, his eventual triumph heartening. Unfortunately, Howard's flashy style is unable to convey much of it. --Fionn Meade
