Con Air
Along with 'Frenzy', and 'Lord of War', the movie 'Con Air' forms a kind of holy trinity of action and crime films from Nicolas Cage. After all, they are intense films, with fun premises, and have become firmly established in popular imagination. In the case of 'Con Air', filmmaker Simon West ('The Expendables 2') hits it out of the park with the story. In it, a prisoner on parole hitches a ride on a flight with the most dangerous criminals in the United States. From there, Cage, John Malkovich ('The Box'), John Cusack ('2012'), Steve Buscemi ('The Death of Stalin') and Danny Trejo ('Machete Kills') create chaos inside this plane and make it one of the most entertaining and exciting action films of all time. Not to mention Nicolas Cage's long hair, which has become a perpetual symbol among fans of the American star.
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
Angelina Jolie embodies the great video game heroine in 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider', one of the biggest box office successes with a female lead in an action movie. Jolie, who was on a roll with 'The Bone Collector' and 'Girl Interrupted', fit the role perfectly, creating an intriguing and powerful character. Also noteworthy is Jon Voight, the actress's father, who plays the role of... Lara Croft's father in the story. The feature works very well as entertainment, so much so that it spawned a sequel, 'Tomb Raider: The Origin of Life'. However, it should be said: those looking for a story completely related to the video games may be disappointed. After all, director Simon West (of 'Con Air') gave his vision of the plot, which takes on more 'Indiana Jones'-like traits.
The General's Daughter
One of John Travolta's most interesting (and unknown!) roles, 'The General's Daughter' is an unusual military suspense. After all, the plot delves into the investigation of a crime committed at the highest level of the American army, directly involving politicians, military personnel and people connected to power. Travolta (who was highly rated at the time after 'Beyond the Red Line') consolidates himself as the moral reserve of the story, tracing an interesting confessional narrative with the public. It is not Simon West's best film (from 'Con Air' and 'Lara Croft'), but it should keep the viewer in their seat throughout its almost two hours with a plot that provokes, instigates and, above all, makes the viewer reflect.
Skyfire
Movies about volcanoes have long been considered a great hit for the 'Afternoon Session'. Who doesn't remember 'Dante's Inferno'? 'Skyfire' brings back this premise and takes it to another level. The production follows a researcher who wants to help people in a theme park built around a volcano that is about to erupt. It's a mix of 'Dante's Inferno' and 'Jurassic World: The Dinosaur World'. It's an action movie that is also recommended for those who like 'Rampage: Total Destruction', 'San Andreas Fault Earthquake' and 'Skyscraper'. To make 'Skyfire' even more interesting, all it needed was Dwayne Johnson in the cast.
The Expendables 2
Action, muscle and a good dose of adrenaline. The return of The Expendables is the return of Sylvester Stallone to his best years after playing the legendary 'Rocky Balboa'. Stallone leads the cast, mostly composed of muscular men from the 80s and 90s, among which stand out Jean-Claude Van Damme ('Universal Soldier'), Chuck Norris ('Walker, Texas Ranger') and... Arnold Schwarzenegger ('Terminator'). We also have the new generation of warriors led by Liam Hemsworth ('The Hunger Games'). A movie with lots of testosterone, rude, violent and brave. 'The Expendables 2' will not disappoint fans of high voltage action full of big stars.
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.
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
The Witch: Part 2.
