Why watch this film?
Think of 'Taxi Driver': an alienated man with disturbing ideas about the decadence of society, who decides to isolate himself and train to face it (also add the narration that illustrates the protagonist's thoughts, plus a performance by Harvey Keitel). Translate that to a futuristic world on the brink of apocalypse, and the result is 'The Last Man' (‘The Last Man’), the story of a war veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder (Hayden Christensen from 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith') who firmly believes the end of the world is near, so he decides to build an underground shelter and prepare to withstand extreme conditions. It's an interesting idea executed with a modest budget, and even if the result feels a bit generic, there are good performances by Christensen and Keitel, so those who enjoy a generous dose of seriousness and violence in their entertainment will be able to enjoy it.

Thriller
An Ordinary Man
An infamous war criminal and former general (Ben Kingsley) spending his life on the run from international authorities is suddenly moved to a new hideout, where he develops a relationship with the maid that looks after him. But when he discovers that she is actually an agent hired to protect him, he makes a decision that will drastically change both of their lives.
He Went That Way
He Went That Way is a taut thriller centered on the true story of a celebrity animal trainer who picks up a hitchhiker, only to discover his passenger is a young, cunning serial killer.
Out of Darkness
The stunning feature film debut of director Andrew Cumming is what happens when you take the horror and survival thriller to its most basic elements, in more ways than one. Out of Darkness is set in the Stone Age, 45 thousand years in the past, and follows a small group of people looking to build a new home in a desolate landscape. However, as darkness falls, they realize they are not alone, and that an evil lurking in the shadows seeks to consume them. The film's great achievement is to create an atmosphere that connects us to our most primal and natural fear: the fear of dying at any moment, due to human fragility in the face of the world's dangers. Darkness and uncertainty are the big monsters here, something few horror films manage to convey effectively.
Boy Kills World
In Boy Kills World, Bill Skarsgård (IT) plays another somewhat disturbed protagonist. Here, he swears revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen), the disturbed matriarch who left the boy orphaned, deaf, and voiceless. With shades of John Wick, the young man seeks to become an instrument of death and promises to cause bloody chaos, ideal for those who enjoy a movie with few scruples and visually appealing aesthetics. It doesn't bring much new to the genre, but it's at least entertaining.
