To celebrate the release of The Rise on Blu-ray and DVD on September 30, we have 5 copies of the Blu-ray to give away.
Shot on location in Leeds & Yorkshire The Rise is British film at its best, a heist film, an underdog story and a thriller delivered with unexpected originality from the producers of Cherry Tree Lane and Ill Manors. This bold take on a much-loved genre showcases some of Britain’s best new talent (Luke Treadaway, Iwan Rheon) as well as acting gentry Timothy Spall.
Battered, bruised and under arrest, Harvey Miller (Treadaway) sits in a police interview room facing interrogation. Clutching a stack of eyewitness statements, Detective Inspector West (Spall) has no doubt as to Harvey’s part in a foiled robbery, and the subsequent attempted murder of local businessman Steven Roper (Maskell).
Denying nothing, Harvey agrees to tell his version of events in full. We take in his...

Marking new British director Rowan Athale’s feature directorial debut, The Rise premiered to the world out in Toronto last year – then screening under the name Wasteland – to promising early reviews.
The crime-thriller has been pegged as one of the best British movies of the year, and we’ve got the new UK quad poster to share with you before it arrives on our shores next month.

He recruits his three best mates to pinch dope deal proceeds from under the nose of the dodgy Roper. However, things are not what they seem and there's the added complication of Harvey's erstwhile girlfriend (Vanessa Kirby) to contend with.

Chicago – I’m not sure there’s ever been a heist film in which the heist is discussed, debated, and argued about more than “Wasteland,” opening in Chicago this Friday, August 2, 2013. We know from the beginning, with its “Usual Suspects” narrative trick of an arrested man telling a cop how he got there, that things went wrong. And then we get to hear about the plan for things to go wrong over and over and over again. Writer/director Rowan Athale thinks he has made a crime caper a la “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels” but the constant spinning of wheels drains the piece of its energy until a final act gets so convoluted that the whole thing falls apart.
Harvey (Luke Treadaway) was framed by a notorious crime lord named Steven Roper (Neil Maskell). As he explains it to D.I. West (Timothy Spall), successful crime bosses...

Waste of Time: Glossy Heist Fantasy a Missed Hit for Athale’s Debut
Producer Rowan Athale’s directorial debut, Wasteland, which he also penned, gets out of the gate like an excitable new race horse, overly assured, cocky, and with people betting it’s a sure kinda thing. But then you quickly realize that this is indeed his first time at the rodeo, his film debut so out of breathe and knees buckling before completing the first lap that we have to do everything in our power to stay with it till the finish line. If this analogy doesn’t give it away, director Athale has created a product grossly over-styled, a derivative amalgamation of heist genre classics, all the while bearing an excessively smug grin.

Not to be confused with the Oscar-nominated documentary of the same name a few years ago, Wasteland is a British heist film that’s set to premiere at Tiff tomorrow. Both Luke Treadaway and Matthew Lewis are on display in much grittier roles than their previous Attack the Block and Harry Potter films, respectively.
Directed by Rowan Athale, the film’s structure shows our lead being caught by the cops, only to have it flashback to the heist that they just attempted. It looks like a tense, fun thriller and as we saw with Treadaway’s creature feature, crime is just better with UK accents, isn’t it? Check out the trailer below via Collider for the film being compared to Ocean’s Eleven and The Usual Suspects, which also stars Iwan Rheon, Gerard Kearns, Timothy Spall, Vanessa Kirbya and Neil Maskell.

British crime-thriller is one of the final films to be added to the Tiff line-up this week, and with the addition comes four new images from the film, giving us a look at its leading stars, with Luke Treadaway (Attack the Block) particularly battered and bruised in one.
Joining Treadaway will be the brilliant Iwan Rheon (who you’ll no doubt love from Misfits), Matthew Lewis (Harry Potter), Gerard Kearns (Shameless), Timothy Spall (Harry Potter), and Vanessa Kirby (The Hour).

After a string of announcements, it looks like the Toronto International Film Festival have locked down their line-up and it’s looking like a fantastic slate. Much of the additions today come in the form of previous Cannes premieres, including Michael Haneke‘s Amour (review), Cristian Mungiu‘s Beyond the Hills (review), Abbas Kiarostami‘s Like Someone in Love (review), Bernardo Bertolucci‘s Me and You (review), Hong Sang-soo‘s In Another Country and the Venice premiere Olivier Assayas‘ Something in the Air. Most notably missing is Leos Carax‘s Holy Motors, but we do get a new Michael Winterbottom film titled Everyday. Out of the Discovery section, the biggest film seems to be The Brass Teapot, and indie drama starring Juno Temple and Michael Angarano and one can check out all the additions below.
