Never Grow Old

2019

Directed by: Ivan Kavanagh
Written by: Ivan Kavanagh
Cast: Emile Hirsch, John Cusack, Déborah François

Emile Hirsch and John Cusack star in Ivan Kavanagh's Western about an outlaw who takes over a frontier town. Cusack is Dutch Albert, a quintessential bad guy who figures prominently in Ivan Kavanagh's old-fashioned Western Never Grow Old. Hirsch also gives a powerful performance as the film's hero, Patrick Tate, an Irish…

Southern Fury

2017
US
1h 35min
18

Directed by: Steven C Miller
Cast: Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, Adrian Grenier, Johnathon Schaech
UK release: 24 February 2017

Troubled ex-marine Mike (Schaech) borrows money from his brother JP (Grenier), but falls foul of sadistic crime boss Eddie King (Cage). Hackneyed, half-baked thriller with Cage monologuing away behind a false nose and Cusack in an anonymous supporting role.

Blood Father

2015
US
1h 28min
15

Directed by: Jean-François Richet
Cast: Mel Gibson, Elisabeth Röhm, Erin Moriarty, John Cusack
UK release: 7 October 2016

John Link (Gibson), ex-con and recovering alcoholic, lives by himself in a trailer but then has to protect his teenage daughter (Moriarty) from a gang of criminals. Crimson-splattered B-movie with a thinly sketched redemption plotline and agreeably old-school action.

Cell

2016
US
1h 37min
15

Directed by: Tod Williams
Cast: John Cusack, Samuel L Jackson, Isabelle Fuhrman
UK release: 26 August 2016

When every mobile phone user in Boston is hit with a strange pulse that drives them crazy, graphic novelist Clay (Cusack) teams up with train driver Tom (Jackson) to find his son. Insipid and often ludicrous adaptation of enthralling source material, with Cusack wooden and Jackson phoning it in. Better forgotten.

Dragon Blade

2015
China / Hong Kong
2h 7min

Directed by: Daniel Lee
Cast: Jackie Chan, John Cusack, Adrien Brody, Lin Peng
UK release: 15 January 2015

China, 48 BC: Huo An (Chan), local badass, teams up with Roman general Lucius (Cusack) against power-mad consul Tiberius (Brody). A farcical mixture of po-faced historical balderdash, 300 -style gore, uneasily imported Hollywood stars, silly Jackie Chan comedy and ill-judged musical interludes, not quite bad enough to be…

Maps to the Stars

2014
Canada / US / Germany / France
1h 51min
18

Directed by: David Cronenberg
Written by: Bruce Wagner
Cast: Mia Wasikowska, Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Olivia Williams
UK release: 26 September 2014

Scarred mystery girl Agatha (Wasikowska) arrives in Hollywood and becomes personal assistant to aging diva Havana (Moore); meanwhile, her bratty actor brother Benjie (Bird) has become a teen idol. Williams tears into her role as Benjie's mother and Moore is fearless, but it all feels desperately obvious and rather silly.

Grand Piano

2013
Spain
1h 30min
15

Directed by: Eugenio Mira
Written by: Damien Chazelle
Cast: Elijah Wood, John Cusack, Kerry Bishé
UK release: 19 September 2014

Nervous concert pianist Tom (Wood) sits down at his comeback performance to discover a note on his music: one wrong note, and either he or his wife (Bishé) will be taken out by a sniper (Cusack). Chazelle's script wears its absurdity like a badge of honour, yet it's an involving, Hitchcockian tale of redemption, with an…

Love & Mercy

Directed by: Bill Pohlad
Cast: John Cusack, Paul Dano, Elizabeth Banks

BILL POHLAD | USA | 2014 | 121m | 12A CAST: JOHN CUSACK, PAUL DANO, PAUL GIAMATTI The story of Brian Wilson, the visionary leader of the Beach Boys.

The Butler

2013
USA
2h 12min
12A

Directed by: Lee Daniels
Cast: Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, John Cusack
UK release: 15 November 2013

Loosely based on a true story, Daniels' ritzy crash-course in US history follows Cecil Gaines (Whitaker), who rises from impoverished cottonfield worker to butler at the White House. It's pure Hollywood moonshine, but the stunt casting (Cusack as Nixon, Rickman as Reagan) sweetens the parallel story of Gaines' rebellious…

The Frozen Ground

2013
US
1h 45min
15

Directed by: Scott Walker
Written by: Scott Walker
Cast: Vanessa Hudgens, Nicolas Cage, John Cusack
UK release: 19 July 2013

Robert Hansen (Cusack) is a serial killer whose latest victim, Cindy Paulson (Hudgens) escapes, enabling Alaska state trooper Halcombe (Cage) to connect numerous unsolved crimes. An odd and not quite successful mix of formulaic thriller and true crime story; Cage is fine, Hudgens is solid and sympathetic but Cusack is…

The Paperboy

2012
US
1h 47min
15

Directed by: Lee Daniels
Written by: Pete Dexter (novel)
Cast: Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron, John Cusack, David Oyelowo, Scott Glenn, Nick Nolte, Macy Gray (narrator)
UK release: 15 March 2013

Florida, 1969: journalist Ward (McConaughey) investigates the story of a man (Cusack) who's been sentenced to death for killing a cop. Based on a Pete Dexter novel, it's haphazard and continues some bizarre moments, such as a soon-to-be-notorious peeing scene, but surprisingly involving and with solid performances; Kidman…

The Raven

2012
US
1h 51min
15

Directed by: James McTeigue
Written by: Ben Livingston/Hannah Shakespeare
Cast: John Cusack, Alice Eve, Luke Evans
UK release: 9 March 2012

Edgar Allan Poe (Cusack) is forced to play cat-and-mouse when a deranged fan starts slaying people in ways inspired by his fiction. Despite a vibrant performance from Cusack and credible support from Eve and Evans, the story drags, with one too many chases down cobbled streets; hardly a fitting epitaph.

The Factory

2012
1h 48min

Directed by: Morgan O'Neill
Cast: John Cusack, Dallas Roberts, Vincent Messina

An obsessed cop is on the trail of a serial killer prowling the streets of Buffalo, N.Y. but when his teenage daughter disappears, he drops any professional restraint to get the killer.

Hot Tub Time Machine

2010
US
1h 39min
15

Directed by: Steve Pink
Written by: Josh Heald, Sean Anders, John Morris
Cast: John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, Chevy Chase

Pink ('Grosse Point Blank') returns to Cusack and the 80s when a bunch of friends end up in 1986 after a hot tub malfunctions. With little character development and too many comedic opportunities missed, sometimes it's better to leave the past alone.

2012

2009
US
2h 38min
12A

Directed by: Roland Emmerich
Written by: Harald Kloser, Roland Emmerich
Cast: John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover, Woody Harrelson

Roland Independence Day Emmerich's ludicrous apocalypse disaster movie balances spectacular special effects with signposted speeches of withering environmental pomposity. Some old fashioned fun is to be had but there is also some tedium on the way.

Igor

2008
US / France
1h 26min
PG

Directed by: Tony Leondis
Written by: Chris McKenna
Cast: John Cusack, Molly Shannon, Eddie Izzard, Jay Leno, Steve Buscemi, Sean Hayes, Jennifer Coolidge, Arsenio Hall, John Cleese, Christian Slater

Hunchbacked Igor (voiced by Cusack) ekes out his precarious existence as humble servant to the sinister Dr Glickenstein (Cleese), an evil genius set on winning the annual evil science fair in the badass province of Malaria. But Igor bravely decides to enter the competition himself and enters his Bride of…

Cast: John Cusack, Samuel L Jackson, Mary McCormack

Mike Enslin (Cusack) makes his living by staying in supposedly haunted locations and writing about his experiences. After a mysterious invite to New York's Dolphin Hotel, he defies the portentous warnings of manager Olin (Jackson) and attempts to stick it out in room 1408, where increasingly bizarre things start to happen…

Serendipity

2001
US
1h 30min

A couple meet and fall in love one night in New York, part ways and leave it up to fate to determine if they see each other again.

Being John Malkovich

2000
US
1h 52min
15

Directed by: Spike Jonze
Written by: Charlie Kaufman
Cast: John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, Catherine Keener, Orson Bean, Mary Kay Place, John Malkovich

Frustrated puppeteer Craig Schwartz (Cusack) takes a job as a filing clerk and discovers a portal into the actor John Malkovich's brain. What could have developed into a one-gag film becomes a gender-bending extravaganza with a crazy network of love triangles, which climaxes with a lesbian relationship between two people…

High Fidelity

2000
US
1h 53min
15

Directed by: Stephen Frears
Written by: DV DeVincentis, Steve Pink, John Cusack, Scott Rosenberg
Cast: John Cusack, Iben Hjejle, Jack Black, Todd Louiso, Tim Robbins, Joan Cusack, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Lisa Bonet

Nick Hornby's story of a vinyl junkie who's more interested in his music collection than his relationships with women is practically a British institution. Yet, Cusack – and co-writer/producer pals D.V. DeVincentis and Steve Pink – have drawn on their own pasts to make a film that's as funny and profound as the book. But…

The Thin Red Line

1998
US
2h 50min
15

Directed by: Terrence Malick
Cast: Sean Penn, Adrien Brody, Jim Caviezel, Ben Chaplin, George Clooney, John Cusack, Woody Harrelson, Elias Koteas, Nick Nolte, John C Reilly, John Travolta

This is very much a director's film, with the mythic and revered Malick as the star. Movie A-list types make cameo appearances, while the bulk of the action centres on the boys from Company C, the luckless outfit charged with taking a vital hilltop stronghold in the battle for Guadalcanal.

Grosse Pointe Blank

1997
US
1h 47min
15

Directed by: George Armitage
Cast: John Cusack, Minnie Driver, Alan Arkin
UK release: 8 August 1997

Depressed freelance hitman Martin Q Blank (Cusack) returns to his home town for a high-school reunion, but finds his past private life and current profession are about to overlap. Armitage turns in a fair post-Woo action sequence here and there, while Cusack positively inhabits Martin, switching from comic/romantic lead…

Anastasia

1997
US
1h 34min
U

Directed by: Don Bluth, Gary Goldman
Written by: Susan Gauthier, Bruce Graham, Bob Tzudiker, Noni White, Eric Tuchman
Cast: Meg Ryan, John Cusack, Kelsey Grammer, Christopher Lloyd, Hank Azaria, Bernadette Peters, Angela Lansbury

With this widescreen romantic musical adventure, animator Don Bluth offers a film that rivals Disney. Rewriting history somewhat, evil magician Rasputin puts a curse on the Tsar's family and causes the 1917 Revolution. The child princess Anastasia survives, but grows up as an orphan, unable to remember her past. With…

Con Air

1997
US
1h 55min
15

Directed by: Simon West
Cast: Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi

Big, loud boyz movie in which Cage's parolee Cameron Poe is locked in a prison transport plane with two dozen of the most unsavoury characters. Of course, there's a mid-air break out and the cons, led by Malkovich's Sirus the Virus, put relative 'goody' Poe through his paces. Nice cameo from Buscemi as a child murderer.
