4 h. ago Deep Cover review – Bryce Dallas Howard leads improv actors into London’s underground

Howard, Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed star in an entertaining odd-trio crime caper with turns by Sean Bean and Paddy Considine Producer and screenwriter Colin Trevorrow has co-created this amiable, high-concept action comedy about three hapless improv actors dragooned into going into deep cover to bust a drug ring. It’s entertaining, though I think some of the cast understand comedy better and more instinctively than others. It’s set in London (though Trevorrow might originally have imagined it set in LA or New York) and the credit is shared with his longtime writing partner Derek Connolly, and also with Ben Ashenden and Alexander Owen, the funny British double act known as the Pin, who also amusingly appear as two squabbling coppers with a Mitchell and Webb energy. The director is the talented Tom Kingsley, who has a substantial TV career and with Will Sharpe got a Bafta nomination in 2012 for the dark comedy Black Pond.Bryce Dallas Howard plays Kat, an American actor whose caree...

19 h. ago Football Daily | Cohesion, energy and a gameplan: Senegal show England what they are lacking

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!England’s Brave Thomas Tuchel might be starting to understand why they call it “The Impossible Job”. On a balmy evening by the River Trent, it took Harry Kane just eight minutes to score against Senegal, and surely leave the edgy disquiet of Saturday’s 1-0 win over Andorra behind. The fun summertime vibes didn’t last long: three Senegal goals later, the final whistle was met with a volley of boos and jeers, England coming up distinctly second best to their opponents. England’s men’s side had never lost to an African nation before, but a record that probably should have fallen at Italia ‘90 was finally claimed in June 2025 – and deservedly so. Senegal may have benefited from funky interpretations of both the handball rule and VAR intervention when Jude Bellingham’s equaliser was chalked off, but this was their night. “I want to congratulate my players for the tremendous performance and mindset they showed out on the pitch today,” man...

19 h. ago A bold image of motherhood – using a prosthetic belly: Gabriel Moses’ best photograph

‘My sister used to have all these fashion posters in her bedroom – Nick Wright photographs, pictures of Naomi Campbell. Those references have become important in my work’I was raised in a single-parent household by my mum and we’re very close. She is a nurse, but she also did a lot of flower-arranging. I would often go to hang around the florists with her and her arrangements were always around the house. When I was a kid she was also a Sunday school teacher and would run arts and crafts workshops at church. I think I began to appreciate colour, how to match things, and develop taste, from there. My sister also studied fashion – and I was always in her bedroom as that’s where I would go to watch TV. She would have all these posters from Dazed and Vogue, Nick Knight photographs, pictures of Naomi Campbell. I thought it was rubbish at the time, but in hindsight I can understand how those references have become important.This image was the cover of my book, Regina, which was a massive ...
