Don’t you just hate it when you’re trying to enjoy a nice family holiday only for everyone else to get kidnapped and for you to discover that your father, who always claimed to be a “business consultant”, actually works for the CIA? And that you’re going to have to trust your own action instincts if you want to rescue everyone? That’s the dilemma faced by Superman Theseus Henry Cavill in The Cold Light Of Day.

Not that it would ever happen in real life. Nope. No way. Definitely not. Okay, once… But definitely not to anyone here. Nu-uh. No siree. Okay...
