Why watch this film?
A bicycle messenger wouldn't be the conventional choice to lead a high-octane thriller, but that's precisely what 'La entrega inmediata' (‘Premium Rush’) is. Written and directed by David Koepp (who has penned movies such as 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' and 'Spider-Man'), the movie has a nonlinear narrative as dynamic as its protagonist's fast-paced life. Despite having some holes - maybe too many for talents like Joseph Gordon-Levitt ('(500) Days of Summer') and Michael Shannon ('Revolutionary Road') - it manages to keep enough interest for what's truly spectacular about this production: its thrilling bike chases and stunts. Believable? Not at all, but they are still incredibly exciting.

From the same director
Stir of Echoes
One of the great horror films of the 1990s, 'Stir of Echoes' is based on the homonymous novel by Richard Matheson and directed and written by David Koepp, the same screenwriter of 'Death Becomes Her', 'Mission: Impossible' and 'Jurassic Park: The Lost World'. The experienced screenwriter showed that he is also a great director when he took the helm of this movie. As expected, the script is well developed and captures the viewer's attention. 'Stir of Echoes' has similarities with 'The Sixth Sense', another great horror from the same era, but with a different story, as it talks about hypnosis. It is important to mention that Kevin Bacon is great as the protagonist.
You Should Have Left
New horror with suspenseful touches from 'Secret Window' director David Koepp, the feature film 'You Should Have Left' is the typical 8 or 80 movie. Without a doubt, some will like it and embark on the story of a man (Kevin Bacon) trying to overcome stress and jealousy for his much younger wife. To do this, he decides to spend some time with her and their daughter in a rented house in the English countryside, where strange phenomena begin to haunt the family - something reminiscent of, and very much like, 'Interstellar'. Others, however, will look for more horror than actually exists in this Koepp plot, which actually wanted to show how terror can also be found in a good drama. The secret here is to travel the possibilities and paths of this strange story.
Action
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One - A fast-paced action, mystery and thriller film that follows a young woman with impressive telekinetic powers, desperately fighting for her life while unraveling the mysteries of her past, pursued by unscrupulous killers. With Blue Dragon Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Seo Eun-su) and Best New Actress (Cynthia), this film captures the protagonist's intense battle to find answers and justice, facing not only her persecutors, but also to his own inner demons.
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
