IR VERDICT:
Ever wondered what The Hunger Games or Battle Royale might look like from the point of view of the ones running the show? Wonder no more – SIX PASSENGERS FIVE PARACHUTES by Ian Bull tells the story of some of the nastiest TV producers you’re ever likely to meet, as well as the grizzled good guy hunting them down. It takes a rather long time to get to the meat of the action promised by its title, but when it does you’ll be glad you waited: explosions, snakes, nunchuks and more.
