Genre: Thriller
Director: Gavin O'Connor
Cast: Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Daniella Pineda, J.K. Simmons, Robert Morgan, Grant Harvey
The movie works when focused on character interaction and buddy-movie tropes, but the action elements are perfunctory at best and boring at worst.

Genre: Thriller
Director: James Hawes

MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Fantasy/Action
Director: Jared Hess
Cast: Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Hansen, Jennifer Coolidge, Rachel House
Never finds its groove, constantly veering from one set-piece to another with a scattershot storyline and whiplash-inducing tone inconsistencies.

Genre: Action/Thriller
Director: David Ayer
Cast: Jason Statham, Jason Flemyng, Arianna Rivas, Emmett J. Scanlan, Eve Mauro, Maximillian Osinski, Andrej Kaminsky, Chidi Ajufo, David Harbour, Michael Pena
For anyone whose primary concern is to see the righteous slaughter of bad guys at the hands of the noble Statham, "A Working Man" does not disappoint.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Violence)
Genre: Drama
Director: Barry Levinson
Cast: Robert De Niro, Debra Messing, Cosmo Jarvis, Kathrine Narducci, Michael Rispoli
There is a sense that a pairing of director Barry Levinson and actor Robert De Niro working with a Nicolas Pileggi script should have borne juicer fruits.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Science Fiction/Horror
Director: Flying Lotus
Cast: Eiza Gonzalez, Aaron Paul, Iko Uwais, Beulah Koale, Kate Elliott, Flying Lotus
Even though this haunted-house-on-an-alien-planet movie is highly derivative, it is enjoyable for precisely that reason.

Genre: Drama
Director: James Mangold
Cast: Timothee Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, Dan Fogler, Norbert Leo Butz, Scoot McNairy
Less a traditional bio-pic and more a picture of an era and an exploration of the impact of Bob Dylan on those around him.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity)
Genre: Drama/Comedy
Director: Jesse Eisenberg
Cast: Kieran Culkin, Jesse Eisenberg, Jennifer Grey, Will Sharpe, Daniel Oreskes, Liza Sadovy, Kurt Egyiawan

Genre: Drama/Comedy
Director: Sean Baker
Cast: Mikey Madison, Mark Eydelshteyn, Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, Vache Tovmasyan
Stands out as an airy experience full of surprises (big and small), all anchored by the tremendous performance by lead actress Mikey Madison.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Hans Petter Moland
Cast: Liam Neeson, Ron Perlman, Frankie Shaw, Daniel Diemer, Yolanda Ross, Javier Molina
Possibly too generic for those with an affinity for movies about larger-than-life figures diminished by infirmity and too downbeat for those who have enjoyed the action/thriller outings of Liam Neeson.
