Why watch this film?
Netflix continues to push forward in its attempt to create big movie franchises that will sustain the platform's growth and attract new subscribers. 'The Gray Man' is exactly that: with a huge budget (US$200 million, Marvel Studios level), it brings directors and brothers Joe and Anthony Russo (from 'Avengers: Endgame') leading a star-studded cast that includes Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Wagner Moura and many more. The final result is well executed, full of action and breathtaking scenes. What it lacks, however, is exactly the soul that would create a legion of fans to justify the establishment of a franchise. It would be better to keep it simpler, with more likable characters and a less shaky camera. Now, even though it's forgettable, 'The Gray Man' delivers good entertainment, full of explosions and high stakes involved. If you're an action fan, it's worth a play.

Captain America: Civil War
"Captain America: Civil War" is the third installment of the First Avenger trilogy, tying up the loose ends left by the second part with the events seen in "Avengers: Age of Ultron." After the Sokovia disaster, a new world law was passed regulating superhero activities - causing a split, with a pro-agreement group led by Iron Man and an anti-agreement group headed by Captain America. The result is a great fight between heroes, especially after Tony Stark finds out the connection of Bucky, Steve Rogers' friend now known as Winter Soldier, to his own past. One of the best films of Marvel Studios, which would credential Anthony and Joe Russo to take over the Avengers franchise.
Avengers: Endgame
"Avengers: Endgame" is the conclusion to a grand arc of Marvel Studios, built through 22 films and spanning 11 years. The fourth movie of Earth's Mightiest Heroes begins shortly after the events of "Avengers: Infinity War," when Thanos gathers the Infinity Stones in the Infinity Gauntlet, snaps his fingers and kills half of all living beings in the universe. The remaining heroes go in search of a way to reverse the villain's actions, in a dense story (with humorous touches and plenty of action) and with many references to previous films--closing cycles in the most diverse ways. Even if it is long (3 hours long!) and slightly inaccessible to non-initiates of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ‘Endgame’ manages to deliver everything that fans of the House of Ideas wanted to see. It makes all the cinematic journey until now worthwhile.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
This is the second movie of the iconic Marvel character, set in modern times and directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (who would later take on the 'Avengers' franchise). "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" adds a spy and political thriller atmosphere without neglecting the plotlines set up in "The First Avenger". The action sequences are a show themselves, with great fight choreographies. Furthermore, the story includes elements and events that would later have repercussions not only in other Marvel movies, but also in the TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". This is one of the highlights of the studio.
Avengers: Infinity War
This movie works as the end of a cycle, which began with the first Iron Man movies and also the beginning, giving space for new superheroes. With humor, good action scenes and also a dose of emotion, 'Avengers: Infinity War' has a different tone from other Marvel productions: it is heavier and brings a reflection. For fans of superhero and action movies alike!
Cherry
Tom Holland had already shown he was an excellent actor even as a child when he stole the scene in 'The Impossible' and, since then, he has only evolved. In this movie, Holland delivers a worthy performance - making it clear that he is not just Spider-Man from the Marvel Universe. 'Cherry' deals with the post-traumatic disorder that a young doctor suffers after returning from Iraq. The film is an interesting portrait of how the army messes with the minds of soldiers (and all those involved in this environment) and how damaging this can be in the future. As seen in Stanley Kubrick's 'Full Metal Jacket', if the training is psychologically disturbing, just imagine going to war.

Freestyle
In need of cash for time in the recording studio, a rising rap star with a criminal past sets up a risky drug deal that could cost him everything.
The Machine
Bert Kreischer rose to fame as a stand-up comedian known as The Machine, and in his signature set he recounts his true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip. Now, 23 years later, that trip has come back to haunt him as he and his estranged father are kidnapped back to Russia by the mob to atone for something they say he did. Together, Bert and his father must retrace the steps of his younger self in the midst of a war within a sociopathic crime family, all while attempting to find common ground in their often fraught relationship.
Resident Evil: Death Island
A Japanese animated film, the fifth installment in a franchise of movies and series that takes place in the same continuity as the famous horror video games. 'Resident Evil: Death Island' continues after the events of 'Resident Evil: Vendetta,' bringing together several classic franchise characters such as Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, the Redfield siblings, and Rebecca Chambers, who investigate an outbreak of the T-virus on Alcatraz Island. The animation makes the movie feel like a scene from the video games that extends for an hour and a half, which will be perfect for long-time fans or those looking for a less fantastical adaptation than the films with Milla Jovovich. If you're looking for a traditional zombie movie, this may not be for you.
A Day and a Half
In a desperate bid to reunite with his daughter, an armed man bursts into the medical center where his estranged wife works and kidnaps her.
