CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER
Directors
Anthony Russo and Joe Russo
Cert. 12A. 136 mins

Superhero Steve Rogers / Captain America (Chris Evans) and his adversary, the mysterious, brainwashed assassin the Winter Soldier, may be the title characters, but this is really an ensemble piece, concerning the vast organisation known as S.H.I.E.L.D.

These are ostensibly the good guys, but it’s far more complicated. Captain America works with S.H.I.E.L.D., run by director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), but questions the methods and philosophy of ‘the-ends-justify-the-means’.
