‘Huge’ is the only way to describe everything about Lord of The Rings — if you thought the first film was big, you won’t believe how much bigger The Two Towers can get. And not just in comparison to Fellowship of the Ring, either.

When a young man returns unexpectedly from a tour of duty in Iraq and promptly disappears, his career military father (Tommy Lee Jones) goes to the base where he was stationed to look for him, his only clues patchy and disturbing video clips from his son’s mobile phone.

Despite needing stronger dramatic markers to tell you what was going on, there’s an escalating sense of desperation and despair and some great performances to carry it, particular the always-wonderful Aden Young, who doesn’t get nearly enough screen time as the smooth, lizard-like Angus.
