Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
"Top Gun: Maverick" is a representation of a Hollywood era, in which producers like Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson perfected the blockbuster formula and explored the feeling of victory that Americans had in relation to the (soon to be ended) Cold War. The film, with its personification of love between men - not necessarily in a physical sense - marked a generation, which reunites with Tom Cruise in this eagerly awaited sequel. Director Joseph Kosinski ("Tron: Legacy") manages to remarkably revive the work of the late filmmaker Tony Scott, bringing much of the original's aesthetics and atmosphere, but adapting the language for a new phase of commercial cinema. The result is a dynamic film, with sensational aerial battle scenes (largely done with the actors themselves in jets, without doubles) and a rounded script, which evolves and expands the story of the original characters, while introducing others. In addition, it adds elements from other current franchises, such as "Fast & Furious" and "Mission: Impossible", as well as adding a "Star Wars" quest. The result is a production that manages to make everyone happy: fans of the past will love the nostalgia, while those who didn't like the "Top Gun" fever can find a fun movie that pleases and works very well alone. Perfect formula for success, in addition to showing that the almost sixty-year-old Tom Cruise is still a star in full form for any mission in action movies - whether they are impossible or in the measure for indomitable aces.

Where to watch?
From the same director
Tron: Legacy
The sequel to the classic 1980s movie takes CGI to the next level, creating a totally believable cyber reality and rejuvenating Jeff Bridges through computer graphics. The sound editing is also an attraction, even earning an Academy Award nomination. However, the story itself has its flaws with a weak script and lack of substance, making "Tron: Legacy" just a fun virtual ride - albeit with the backing of Daft Punk.
Spiderhead
From the same director of 'Top Gun: Maverick', Joseph Kosinski, this movie is quite different from the Tom Cruise-led blockbuster. 'Spiderhead' is based on the short story 'Escape From Spiderhead', by George Saunders and originally published in The New Yorker, and features an experiment involving intoxicants and the prison system. Its central concept isn't too far from our reality when we stop to think about how many chemicals we ingest daily - and we're not talking about drugs. This production navigates between science fiction, thriller, and dark comedy genres, managing to be perversely funny. Shot during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, 'Spiderhead' has few actors: the cast is composed of Miles Teller, Chris Hemsworth, Jurnee Smollett and Charles Parnell, relying more on dialogue than action, but it is well-filmed and much smarter than it appears. It's also a great opportunity to see Hemsworth expanding his acting potential beyond action heroes.
Action
Furies
An exclusive Vietnamese action and revenge thriller on Netflix that thematically will remind you of "Promising Young Woman", but in action and style it is more reminiscent of "John Wick" and "Kill Bill". Although it is not as refined (or interesting) as its references, "Furies" will leave genre fans satisfied. The plot is somewhat scant: three furious and violent female vigilantes join forces to take down a sinister mafia that has made them victims. There is more substance in the action sequences than in its premise, but if you're looking for something visually impactful and entertaining, you'll like it.
Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village
After his family is viciously murdered, a kind-hearted boy named Tanjiro Kamado resolves to become a Demon Slayer in hopes of turning his younger sister Nezuko back into a human. Together with his comrades, Zenitsu and Inosuke, along with one of the top-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen Uzui, Tanjiro embarks on a mission within the Entertainment District, where they encounter the formidable, high-ranking demons, Daki and Gyutaro.
