Trailer
Why watch this film?
Imagine 'Groundhog Day', with Bill Murray, with less irony and much more frantic action. The result is one of the best and most original action films of the decade, based on the Japanese manga "All You Need is Kill". In 'Edge of Tomorrow', Tom Cruise takes on his typical action hero role, but with a touch of humor, while Emily Blunt enshrines Rita Vrataski as a heroine who loses nothing to Ellen Ripley ('Alien') or Beatrix Kiddo ('Kill Bill').

From the same director
The Bourne Identity
Based on the book written by Robert Ludlum, this movie is a portrait of an era - taking advantage of the zeitgeist about the war on terror and the emergence of the information age to create a story full of action. Particular mention goes to the tightly-knit script written by Tony Gilroy and William Blake Herron.
American Made
Directed by Doug Liman ("Edge of Tomorrow"), "Barry Seal: Only in America" is inspired by the incredible true story of its titular pilot, who in the 70s and 80s went from being a commercial pilot to an undercover CIA agent, and then a major drug trafficker for the Medellín Cartel. The script takes some liberties with the facts to prioritize comedy, as well as flashy action sequences under Liman's capable direction. Although Tom Cruise is an odd choice to play the titular character, it works for the extravagant and cynical tone of the movie, which also features Domhnall Gleeson ("Ex Machina"), Sarah Wright ("Parks and Recreation"), Jesse Plemons ("Breaking Bad") and Caleb Landry Jones ("Twin Peaks: The Return").
Locked Down
The new coronavirus pandemic has caused profound changes in social behavior throughout its course, between 2020 and 2021, with direct effects on relationships, families and work relationships -- in addition to the effects of tragic deaths during this period. Filmmaker Doug Liman, of 'Edge of Tomorrow' and 'The Bourne Identity', decided to take a different look at this social isolation and social changes in 'Locked Down': from an action movie, focusing on a robbery. In the plot, the viewer is introduced to the story of Linda and Paxton (Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor), who used to have a great relationship. However, with the marriage crumbling, they are forced to stay in the same house in the middle of the covid-19 quarantine. Together, they devise a robbery that may, or may not, save the relationship. Liman's direction to tell this story is a bit confusing and tedious at times -- it's understandable who can't get to the end. However, there is good chemistry between Hathaway and Ejiofor, unlike 'Malcolm & Marie', which also bet on an intimate plot, in the middle of the quarantine, to talk about a couple. It's a strange movie, even clumsy, but it brings a different look to this strange and troubled period in world history. Just turn off your mind and enjoy.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Unrelated to the 1941 film of the same name (directed by Alfred Hitchcock), Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a comedy-action directed by Doug Liman (Unknown Identity) about a married couple leading a boring life, though each one hides a secret from the other: they're hired assassins. It's an interesting premise on paper and it works thanks to the chemistry and performances of its two protagonists, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, which compensates for its excessive action. It's an entertaining action movie that, for fans of Hollywood celebrity gossip, also went down in history as marking the beginning of their relationship, popularly known as "Brangelina".
Chaos Walking
'Chaos Walking', the movie directed by the unstable Doug Liman (of 'Edge of Tomorrow'), follows the path of trying to reproduce the success of 'The Hunger Games' on the big screen -- a plague that haunts the 'juvenile dystopias'. Here, we follow the story of Todd (Tom Holland), a boy who lives on a planet after the total and complete collapse of Earth. In this new place, life takes a very different turn. Men's thoughts are sonorized, making it impossible to hide anything. In addition, in the village where Todd lives, there are no women. They were killed by the native creatures of the planet. So it is shocking when Viola (Daisy Ridley) arrives on board a ship, coming from Earth, in this place. From then on, 'Chaos Walking' lives up to its name by showing this young woman trying to survive in an inhospitable environment, in which she understands nothing, and having to deal with these men who verbalize their thoughts all the time. Liman, as he knows well, soon turns this cauldron full of conflicts into action, with the duo fleeing from the Mayor (Mads Mikkelsen, canaster like never before). Despite some original elements, such as verbalized thoughts, the absence of women and even the native creatures that quickly appear in the production, almost everything is transformed into pure generic juvenile dystopia broth. The feeling that remains is that Liman followed the producers' bingo, putting the original story of writer Patrick Ness in a box. At least Holland and Ridley have fun with an escapist, fun and unpretentious adventure.
Jumper
A movie with a criminal protagonist capable of teleporting to any place in the world he desires is an ambitious concept that should result in a very entertaining science fiction thriller. Unfortunately, this is not the case with 'Jumper', a movie that confirms that Hayden Christensen's regular performances in 'Star Wars' were, in fact, a pattern. At least here we see him reunited with Samuel L. Jackson, and there's good talent involved, such as director Doug Liman ('Mr. and Mrs. Smith'), as well as actors like Diane Lane, Jamie Bell, Rachel Bilson or Michael Rooker. Although the script is weak and leaves many questions unanswered, the action scenes are interesting to watch thanks to the teleportation factor.
Road House
Road House is a film that epitomizes its director, Doug Liman: energetic, fun, and unexpected – much like his other works such as Edge of Tomorrow and Swingers. Here, a former UFC fighter (Jake Gyllenhaal) lands a job as a bouncer at an establishment in the Florida Keys, only to discover that this paradise isn't all it seems. Fun and uncompromising, the film brings forth solid action scenes and, alongside Gyllenhaal, a well-tuned cast featuring Daniela Melchior, Lukas Gage, Jessica Williams, Joaquim de Almeida, and even Conor McGregor and Post Malone.
Action
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.
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
