Cuban Fury (2014 James Griffiths)

I'm afraid I could not accept Nick Frost as a salsa dancer, in dance scenes that are a model of editor's conjuring tricks (note presence of Chris Dickens, though Jonathan Amos - Attack the Block, Scott Pilgrim - is the lead). However there's nothing basically wrong with Jon Brown's script, though it is peopled with incredibly horrible, sexist men, nor Dick Pope's rich widescreen photography.

Ian McShane, Olivia Colmans, Chris O'Dowd, Rory Kinnear, Rashida Jones, Alexandra Roach and (particularly watchable) Kayvan Novak are fine in support.
