Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe go Depression-era rugged in The Weight, an old-school survival thriller about convicts carrying gold through Oregon. It’s in UK cinemas now, and it’s worth the ticket.

Brad Pitt crashes a plane in Alaska and has to walk home with his combat dog. It’s earnest, flag-waving and soppy in places, but Pitt still holds the screen.
