Warning: contains spoilers for The Capture Series 1.
The most effective horror films are the ones that make menace out of everyday things – the TV in Poltergeist, the shower in Psycho, little girls with long, wet hair in… everything. Surveillance thriller The Capture does the same by turning the simple act of walking down a city street into a paranoid, pulse-raiser. Look up at the street corners and lampposts and you’ll see them, CCTV cameras feeding a data network that, combined with deepfake technology sufficiently advanced to make it indistinguishable from magic, can make you anybody’s puppet.
That’s what happens to Lance Corporal Shaun Emery (Callum Turner) in The Capture Series 1. First, Shaun’s barristers got him acquitted on the charge of unlawfully killing an unarmed Taliban insurgent on tour in Afghanistan. After serving six months in prison, Shaun was freed when his legal team called into question...

Film review: 'Wing Commander'
Beastly aliens called Kilrathi are rubbing out humans in the Vega system in the year 2564. One Confederation spacecraft carrier must stop an enemy fleet or Earth will be devastated. But for that to happen, ace Freddie Prinze Jr. has to overcome his outsider status as son of a hated Pilgrim -- antisocial types who once explored the vastness of space using the handy "jump" method -- and win the heart of Saffron Burrows, his new "Wing Commander".
Firing up the engines for "Episode I: The Phantom Menace" in two months, distributor Fox won't fare well with this hopelessly derivative, second-rate sci-fi actioner. Hot off "She's All That", Prinze is out of his element in director Chris Roberts' naval warfare-inspired adventure. The cast is at sea with wooden dialogue, and the widescreen voyage is often laugh-out-loud ridiculous.
Filmed in Luxembourg and based on Roberts' computer game series, "Wing" is a blatant rip-off of World War II movies and sci-fi TV shows: Space fighters are essentially dive-bombers, big warships with torpedoes, cloaking devices, shields and unceasing military bluster. Available women fight alongside and outpilot randy guys, but most of the usual cliches are adhered to.
Destined to save the day, proving more than once that he can freestyle navigate better than a computer, young Blair (Prinze) and his buddy Maniac (Matthew Lillard) join merchant ship captain Paladin (Tcheky Karyo) on the Tiger Claw, a future flattop with a dour, Pilgrim-hating captain (Jurgen Prochnow).
Maniac pairs with flygirl Rosie (Ginny Holder) in the film's only engaging subplot. Blair gets off to a bad start with Angel (Burrows) and keeps getting in trouble. With a famous father who married a Pilgrim, Blair is a pariah and antagonizes some of the Tiger Claw's fighters.
Much time is spent on this Pilgrim problem and the halfheartedly developed theme of faith vs. scientific fact, which is the boilerplate of space operas such as "Star Wars" and every other episode of "Star Trek" and its offshoots.
Unfortunately, Prinze shoots blanks as the reluctant savior of humanity. There are few sparks between him and Burrows ("Celebrity"), and he's no match for Karyo ("GoldenEye") as Blair's mentor in the Pilgrim ways.
From scenes evoking the wounded pilot crash-landing his plane to the submarine hiding from depth charges, "Wing" doesn't know when to quit and even has Karyo calling a "broadside" in the final clash of spaceships in the vicinity of Earth. The bulky, grumbling aliens are indeed ruthless but seen only in glimpses until called upon to die in mass quantities.
Prochnow, David Suchet and David Warner add firepower to the forces of good, but the movie is only partially salvaged by mildly arousing special effects sequences of dogfights and full-scale battles.
