Trailer
Why watch this film?
A hilarious action comedy in which a desk-bound agent (John Cena) accepts a job as the bodyguard of a failed journalist (Alison Brie), who is about to embark on the interview of her life with a Latin American dictator (Juan Pablo Raba). However, when a coup d'état is declared, the trio must flee to the jungle, where they must learn to coexist and survive. Freelance won't change the course of action comedies, but it makes the most of Cena and Brie's considerable comedic chops.

From the same director
Peppermint
A female version of the Marvel character The Punisher - which becomes even clearer with the Brazilian title. A woman has her family murdered by the mafia and, seeing that justice failed the victims, she sets out in search of revenge. The difference here is that the protagonist, played by Jennifer Garner ('Elektra'), is an ordinary woman who, after the tragedy, trains to become a lethal machine (which, by the way, brings similarities to another hero: Batman). Direction is by Pierre Morel (of 'Taken'), which guarantees good action sequences. Unfortunately, the feature film lacks a more elaborated script, going beyond the already cited inspirations.
Taken
Within the parameters of action thrillers, 'Taken' is as conventional as it is well-executed, whose flashes of originality reside in its premise: putting a veteran actor in a brutal impossible mission, two years before Sylvester Stallone and company did the same in 'Les Misérables'. Liam Neeson was familiar with this type of movie (he had previously starred in 'Batman Begins' and 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace'), but 'Taken' was a turning point in his career for such films, establishing himself as a convincing action star who is also responsible for one of the most iconic and intense monologues in the genre's history.
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. The Other One - A fast-paced action, mystery and thriller film that follows a young woman with impressive telekinetic powers, desperately fighting for her life while unraveling the mysteries of her past, pursued by unscrupulous killers. With Blue Dragon Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Seo Eun-su) and Best New Actress (Cynthia), this film captures the protagonist's intense battle to find answers and justice, facing not only her persecutors, but also to his own inner demons.
