Why watch this film?
Remake of the Spanish film El Desconocido, from 2015, Retribution marks a new era in the career of Irish actor Liam Neeson: he leaves behind the frenzied action of films like Taken and gradually begins to embrace more suspenseful and thrilling movies. That is the case with Retribution: here, he plays a man who is driving his daughters to school and discovers that he has a bomb under the car seat and, with no way out, he can't stop the car. Recalling a smaller and less impactful version of Speed, the film has an intense pace in its plot and, despite some wrong and generic decisions in the script, it manages to keep the audience captivated until the end of the story, mainly thanks to Neeson and his somber performance.

The Whiskey Bandit
Have you ever heard the story of the "Whiskey Robber" who became a folk hero in Hungary? Meet Attila Ambrus, who balanced a career as a hockey player with bank robberies, in a country that had just left communism and embraced capitalism - which earned him the sympathy of many people. This movie adapts the story of Ambrus and features the direction of Nimród Antal, who signed the feature film 'Metallic Through the Never'.
Action
The Fall Guy
The Fall Guy is one of those films that seem designed to have it all and thus please the broadest audience possible. Based on the 1980s series of the same name and directed by David Leitch (former stunt double and now director of films like Bullet Train and Deadpool 2), the movie follows Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), a down-on-his-luck stunt double who must investigate the mysterious disappearance of actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as this would ruin the first movie of his beloved, filmmaker Jody (Emily Blunt). And the major problem with this movie is that it tries to be everything: romantic comedy, action comedy, Hollywood satire, crime mystery, and more, hampered by the magnitude of its own ambitions, as well as an overloaded and unclear script. You can enjoy it as an insight into the world behind action cinema, and for the charisma of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.
Money
In this high-stakes action thriller, two pharmaceutical executives are about to get away with stealing $5 million until an uninvited houseguest derails their plans and holds them hostage during an all-night standoff. Featuring a powerful ensemble cast, including Jesse Williams, Kellan Lutz and Jess Weixler, MONEY is a chilling lesson in greed that will keep you guessing until the very end!
