Why watch this film?
A kind of female John Wick, 'Jolt' stars Kate Beckinsale (‘Underworld’) as an assassin seeking revenge after the murder of the first guy she ever fell in love with. With Stanley Tucci, Bobby Cannavale and Laverne Cox rounding out the cast, the feature film is eye-catching for director Tanya Wexler’s (‘Hysteria’) aesthetic flair, playing with color, angles and the way to tell this traditional revenge story. It should appeal to those who enjoy films like ‘John Wick’, ‘Atomic Blonde’ and other action-packed productions, also paying attention to the aesthetics of it all, becoming a fun and painless way to pass the time.

The Witch: Part 2.

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.
