(Fox, cert 18, DVD/Blu-ray/digital)

Jack O’Connell gives a star-is-born turn as the young lag toughing his way to the top, in a British prison drama with attack, grit and a surprise in the showers.

The Double

(StudioCanal, cert 15, DVD/Blu-ray/digital)

Richard Ayoade’s Submarine follow-up turns Dostoevsky’s story about a man (Jesse Eisenberg) haunted by his own double into an impressive Gilliamesque nightmare.

Black Narcissus

(Network, cert PG, Blu-ray)

Nuns are driven to lustful frenzy in the Himalayas in the must-own 1947 classic from Powell and Pressburger, surely one of the most beautifully shot films ever.

Half of a Yellow Sun

(Soda, cert 15, DVD/Blu-ray)

Gone with the Wind, Nigerian style, with Thandie Newton and Chiwetel Ejiofor as lovers thrown hither and yon by the Biafran war. Excellent ingredients, so-so results.

Labor Day

(Paramount, cert 12, DVD/Blu-ray/digital)

A single mum is re-introduced to intimacy by escaped lag Josh Brolin in Kate Winslet’s latest attempt to exhume Joan Crawford. Achingly romantic, totally bonkers.

Pioneer

(Arrow, cert 15, DVD/Blu-ray)

This Norwegian thriller about the race to extract oil from Norway’s sea bed boasts American star Wes Bentley (barely in it) and feels like a TV series squeezed till it yelps.

Rio 2

(Fox, cert U, DVD/Blu-ray/digital)

Like Rio 1, a kaleidoscope of colour and action, full of ADHD sidekick animals, everything focused on blue macaws Blu and Jewel, so dull you want to shoot them.

Box Sets

Clint Eastwood: The Blu-ray Collection

(Universal, cert 18, Blu-ray)

This box of all Eastwood’s eight Universal films – including High Plains Drifter and The Eiger Sanction – is a good one, if a bit steeply priced at 40-odd quid.

CSI Miami: The Complete Collection

(E One, cert 15, DVD)

This first CSI spin-off ran for ten years and gave Channel 5 a ratings boost. All 282 episodes are here. David Caruso: prepare to put on/take off those sunglasses.

Z-Cars Collection 2

(Acorn, cert PG, DVD)

The 1962-1978 cop series with the whistle-along theme tune had become a forerunner of The Bill by the time these 1972 episodes aired – amiable, well played soap.
