Why watch this film?
Following in the footsteps of Korean action films starring women, such as The Villainess and Kill Boksoon, the movie Ballerina isn't afraid to shock – it consciously exaggerates the blood, adrenaline, and fighting. Meanwhile, the story follows a former bodyguard who, grieving the loss of her best friend after failing to protect her, will stop at nothing to fulfill her friend's last wish: revenge. It's a visually daring film that manages to bring the best of Korean action cinema to the table: stunning choreography and an engaging, thought-provoking plot.

Call
South Korean cinema has always been good, but the West only started to show more interest after 'The Handmaiden', by Park Chan-wook, and 'Parasite' by Bong Joon-ho - which was the first non-English language film to win the Oscar for Best Picture and changed the history of the seventh art. Based on that, it's easier to say that most of the productions made in South Korea are good, interesting and with good plot twists. 'Call' is undoubtedly a well-constructed suspense, with an engaging story and good performances. If you liked the mentioned films, you will certainly be interested in 'Call'.
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!
Deadpool & Wolverine
Wolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth, Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy.
