Why watch this film?
The Norwegian film 'A Onda' was atypical: outside of the traditional circuit, director Roar Uthaug (who would go on to direct the new 'Tomb Raider') managed to create a grandiose blockbuster about survival and the end of the world. In this case, a tsunami that forms in a small town in the heart of Norway. Now, five years later, the franchise returns for another catastrophe in 'Skjelvet'. In this case, as the name itself says, an earthquake of unprecedented proportions promises to destroy the capital Oslo. Without Uthaug's direction, and now under the command of the inexperienced John Andreas Andersen (from the good movie 'Uno'), the franchise loses vitality and the effects become more erratic. However, that's it: for those who liked 'A Onda' and have a special affection for movies like 'Deep Impact' and 'Daylight', they will find guaranteed fun. And the best part: coming from a country with very little tradition in action cinema, showing that there is room for experimentation.

From the same director
The Burning Sea
A disaster movie from Norway that stays true to the genre conventions: some human characters the story relies on, as a pretext for showing us action, destruction and survival scenes. However, Maremoto compensates for its conventionalism with an excellent execution, as the destruction scenes in the middle of the sea are as tense as they are impressive. It will certainly be a delight for fans of this type of movies.
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.
