93 minutes ago Classified review – Aaron Eckhart hitman thriller mines newspaper ads for coded messages

There is shockingly bad dialogue and a lot of extras waiting to fall over dead as Eckhart’s killer for hire finds all is not what it seemsThis decidedly shonky, if at least relatively unpretentious, action film stars Aaron Eckhart, once very much the coming man who’s not had the career you would expect for someone with his looks and talent. Eckhart plays a hitman named Evan Shaw; clearly a bit of a dolt, Shaw thinks he works for a super-specialised unit within the CIA that dispatches him to assassinate bad guys by sending him coded messages in the classified ads in newspapers (very retro).

2 hours ago Battered but bizarrely upbeat: why even utter defeat hasn’t shaken the Tory party’s confidence | Andy Beckett

The Conservatives believe that they uniquely represent British values – so what need is there to admit the UK is changing? Why exactly are the Conservatives so upbeat, barely three months after their worst-ever election defeat? At their party conference, in their leadership contest and in the Tory press, the mood has been unexpectedly positive, even unrepentant, with relatively few recriminations and little deep reflection. During the conference, I lost count of how often people told me the party would be back in power within a few years.There are some straightforward explanations: Labour’s troubles trying to run the country; Tory relief that they have been given a break from that difficult task; the displacement activity of the leadership contest; and the fact that the grind of opposit...
