REVIEW: Run Hide Fight: Infidels (2026 Film) - Starring Jonathan Majors

Run Hide Fight: Infidels is a provocative and deliberately uncompromising action thriller that takes a terrorist attack on a US university and pushes the scenario to an extreme. The slow-burn opening eventually gives way to fast-paced action as students, a security guard and a former Delta Force soldier attempt to fight back against an ISIS cell trying to establish a caliphate. The political message is impossible to miss, and the film's blunt approach will divide audiences, but there is no denying that it tackles a subject rarely explored this directly in mainstream Hollywood action films.

The small budget does show at times, and the screenplay can be heavy-handed, particularly when characters are used to represent political viewpoints rather than being fully developed individuals. However, the action is entertaining, the tension builds effectively and Jonathan Majors gives a strong performance as Clay Saunders. Run Hide Fight: Infidels is not subtle, but it is intense, entertaining and willing to make its argument without backing away from it.

REVIEW: The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival (2026 Video Game) - on PlayStation 5

The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival brings AMC's The Walking Dead into classic 2D side-scrolling beat-'em-up territory. Playing as Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon or Michonne, with Negan available to unlock, you fight walkers and Saviors using character-specific abilities and familiar weapons. The combat is simple, responsive and satisfying, while the All Out War storyline, recognisable locations and decent cut scenes give the campaign more personality than a standard arcade brawler.

The simplicity is also the game's biggest weakness, as once you understand the basics, progress through the campaign can be fairly quick. The survival elements, different characters, difficulty levels and boss battles provide some extra variety, but there is limited depth beyond the core fighting. At £17.99 for the standard version and £29.99 for the Deluxe Edition, the pricing is also difficult to overlook. This is a niche release, but for fans of The Walking Dead and classic 2D beat-'em-ups, there is plenty of uncomplicated arcade fun to enjoy.

REVIEW: Runner (2026 Film) - Starring Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson

 

Runner pairs Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson in a familiar buddy-action setup as a former soldier and an unlikely companion become targets of a Colombian cartel while trying to complete a vital medical delivery. The action is the main attraction, with vehicle chases, shootouts, explosions and plenty of close-quarters violence keeping the pace moving. Ritchson fits the role well, while Wilson provides most of the humour, and their contrasting personalities make the partnership enjoyable.

The story follows a well-worn formula, with personal tragedy, criminals, betrayal and a race against time all familiar territory. There are few genuine surprises, but the film's short running time prevents it from becoming tiresome. The emotional material gives Ritchson's character some extra depth, while the two leads are well matched throughout. Runner is generic and predictable, but it remains an enjoyable way to spend 90 minutes.

REVIEW: Hyperstacks VR (2026 Video Game) on MetaQuest

Hyperstacks combines combat, parkour, puzzle-solving and level creation into a colourful VR experience that makes good use of its three core gameplay pillars. Combat benefits from VR weapons, environmental hazards and frantic encounters, while the movement system gives you climbing, grappling hooks, ziplines, jumping, teleportation and skating. The logic systems, powered by Greenlink, add another layer of challenge, with campaign levels introducing the mechanics progressively through character-led quests and interactions.

The level editor is one of Hyperstacks' strongest features, giving players accessible tools for creating enemies, traps, movement challenges, puzzles, logic systems, colours and lighting. Community-created levels add substantial replayability, while fast loading makes it easy to explore new creations. The sheer number of systems can make the experience feel somewhat unfocused if you are looking for one highly polished gameplay style, but the combination works well overall.

REVIEW: Motor City (2026 Film) - Starring Alan Ritchson, Ben Foster, Pablo Schreiber, Lionel Boyce and Shailene Woodley

Motor City proves that action films do not need endless dialogue to make an impact. Driven by Alan Ritchson's commanding physical performance, brutal action scenes and a superb rock soundtrack, the film tells its revenge story almost entirely through visuals. Its blend of silent-style storytelling and gritty 1970s action influences creates something that feels genuinely fresh.

The underlying revenge plot is fairly conventional, and the pacing occasionally suffers from slow-motion sequences that overstay their welcome. Even so, the film's confidence, originality and explosive finale make it an engaging and memorable action thriller that stands apart from most modern entries in the genre.

REVIEW: Mortal Kombat II (2026 Film) - Starring Karl Urban

Mortal Kombat II (2026) is a sequel that fully embraces its identity as a loud, gory martial arts fantasy built around the iconic video game franchise. The film follows Johnny Cage as he is pulled into Raiden’s fight for Earthrealm, joining a wider group of fighters as they enter a deadly interdimensional tournament against Shao Kahn’s forces. The action is the main attraction, with well-staged combat sequences that lean into a raw, 1990s-inspired style and deliver the kind of brutality fans expect, alongside a steady undercurrent of humour that keeps the tone from becoming too serious.

While the film’s energy and fan service are strong selling points, its structure is less consistent. The narrative juggles a large cast and multiple story threads, which leads to uneven pacing and moments where the momentum dips. It also feels slightly overlong, with certain plot developments competing for attention rather than building cleanly. Even so, it remains an entertaining experience for fans of the franchise, offering enough spectacle, violence and character appearances to outweigh its structural flaws, resulting in a solid, if imperfect, sequel.
