Trailer
Why watch this film?
Jessica Chastain stars as the protagonist and producer of this action movie that seeks to break away from the cliché that only men can lead this type of feature. It's almost inevitable not to compare it with Charlize Theron's 'Atomic' and celebrate that Hollywood is opening up space for women to star in any story, changing the usual and generic pattern of things. In addition to Chastain, the production has good actors such as Geena Davis, John Malkovich, Common, Colin Farrell and Joan Chan. However, it must be said that action movies with female protagonists still have scripts that could be better explored.

From the same director
Ma
An original premise and an extraordinary actress in the lead role should result in a memorable movie. Unfortunately, 'Ma' doesn't reach its full potential, but the powerful performance of Octavia Spencer (Oscar winner of 'The Help', also directed by Tate Taylor) is already enough reason to watch this movie and have fun.
The Girl On the Train
Based on the acclaimed novel by Paula Hawkins, 'The Girl on the Train' is proposed to be a thriller in the same vein as David Fincher's 'Gone Girl'. As a script, it definitely does not reach that level, but it has great performances from Haley Bennett and the always brilliant Emily Blunt to make it worth giving it a chance.
The Help
You may find "The Help" set in the sixties, but its themes remain relevant. With great cinematography and outstanding performances - particularly from Octavia Spencer who won an Oscar for this movie - the film presents its story in a fresh and even humorous way, which earned it three more Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture.
Breaking News In Yuba County
A hilarious dramatic comedy starring Allison Janney, Mila Kunis, Regina Hall and Awkwafina, the feature film 'Breaking News In Yuba County' is one of those stories that bet on the absurdity of situations - and the great probability of everything going wrong - to make people laugh. Here, more specifically, director Tate Taylor (‘The Help’ and ‘Ma’) plays with the story of a woman who takes advantage of her status as a subcelebrity while searching for her missing husband. It's a well-dosed situational comedy, although with all the absurdities that director Tate Taylor insists on putting in his exaggerated direction. Highlight for Allison Janney (awarded in ‘I, Tonya’) with a humor to measure.
Get On Up
Directed by Tate Taylor ('The Help') and produced by Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, 'Get On Up' portrays the life of the Godfather of Soul in a spirited and charismatic biopic. The film manages to capture the strength and presence that James Brown had on stage, making the whole movie vibrate with a lot of groove. The production is composed of a star-studded cast, bringing together names like Viola Davis, Dan Aykroyd, Octavia Spencer and Craig Robinson, but the big highlight is Chadwick Boseman, who embodies the singer and dancer incorporating his energy and personality impeccably. It is a stylish biography, which captures the essence of its character and makes it flow throughout the movie. A recommended work for both fans and occasional viewers, those who know James Brown will love it, but those who don't will be impressed with the story of this icon.
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.
