The Crew
A criminal thriller with no great aspirations of being anything more than that - which is actually a positive thing. With an exciting story about robbery and settling of accounts, it will keep you hooked to know the unfolding of the story - which fits perfectly into the current reality of France and Paris.
The Bouncer
Jean-Claude Van Damme is one of the big stars of the '80s and '90s "macho" cinema. On the big screen, he starred in successful productions within the genre, such as 'Double Impact', 'The Great White Dragon', 'Kickboxer' and 'Universal Soldier'. This time, Van Damme returns as the title character of 'Lukas', a dark, bloody production with several fight sequences - all without resorting to an obvious script.
Earth and Blood
This violent production is directed by Julien Leclercq, a French filmmaker known for intense suspense like 'Lukas' (with Jean-Claude Van Damme) or 'Carga Bruta'. 'La terre et le sang' does not disappoint in this regard, so you can expect a well-crafted action thriller under the old and proven premise of one man (or group of them) against an army of bandits. The editing pace raises the tension to the limit and, although the feature itself does not revolutionize the genre nor change your life, it will certainly keep you engaged - especially if you're looking for pure and simple entertainment.
Sentinelle
Julien Leclercq is a French director who has specialized in action films - including 'Lukas' and 'Carga Bruta'. In 'Sentinela', the filmmaker delves a bit deeper into drama and has his first female lead: Olga Kurylenko, from '007: Quantum of Solace'. In the story, the actress plays a soldier traumatized by her past and yet forced to take action to avenge her sister's rape. It's one of those stories that, even though it's fiction, has a strong foot in reality - and, between one punch and another, makes us reflect on the world.
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.
