Richard Jobson, 15 (98min)

It was made only last year, but Jobson’s Edinburgh-set thriller feels curiously dated. Its villains are a pair of bankers who get their thrills hunting down and killing impoverished teenagers. The smug invulnerability of wealth rings rather hollow in the current climate and Dougray Scott’s smoothly amoral psychopath is an oddly anachronistic creation.
