Manhunt (2017)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
John Woo (‘Face/Off’) returns to his birthplace: Hong Kong cinema. In this movie, he brings that basic script: a man who is framed for crimes he didn't commit and finds himself forced into a huge manhunt against his enemies. All of the director's known artifices are also present, famous for his extremely plastic action scenes. It's not one of his best films, but it will surely please action fans with its '70s style mixed with CGI and 2010's aesthetics. Oh, don't be fooled by the Brazilian title: 'Hunter of Men' is just a lazy translation for the original one, 'Manhunt'.

Face/Off
The premise of 'Face/Off' may seem ridiculous at first, but if you give the movie a chance you'll see that the action sequences and plot are very entertaining. John Woo is an excellent director of Asian action cinema, recognized for his hyperstylization and elaborate choreography ('Hard Boiled', 'Double Target', 'Mission: Impossible 2'). However, the icing on the cake is seeing John Travolta and Nicolas Cage in a great acting duel, where one has to convincingly portray the other and vice versa.
Mission: Impossible II
After a first movie with a 1990s feel, the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise took a more spectacular (and explosive) turn with the second film. Directed by John Woo ('Face/Off') and considered by many to be the weakest of the franchise, the feature film inserts more unrestrained action into the plot of Ethan Hunt, the secret agent who is once again called upon to lead a team and thus prevent a deadly virus created in Germany from spreading around the world. Tom Cruise is once again good on screen, now with long hair, but it is not enough to reduce the exaggerated tone of the production. The great highlight ends up being Brendan Gleeson, who gives unexpected depth to his character and helps 'Mission: Impossible II' to gain more layers.

Mother's Day

A chance for a new sense of adrenaline and the possibility of returning to life for her son, whom she must have had more .
Blood & Gold
Set in Germany during World War II, but with a spaghetti western sensibility, Blood and Gold is a war film directed by Peter Thorwarth (Blood Red Sky) with an evident Tarantino-like sensibility. The plot follows a German deserter who becomes involved alongside a young Jewish woman in a battle against the Nazis, who are searching for hidden gold. Acidic humor, exaggerated violence, and Nazi blood flowing everywhere make it comparable to Inglourious Basterds, and even if it doesn't reach the same levels, it's a fun substitute.
