The franchise’s stylized visuals and slick gun-fu choreography remain as strong as ever, and more significantly, the sequel commits to topping itself at every turn.

A long-winded, twist-heavy espionage thriller, starring and directed by Lee Jung-jae, with solid action in the middle.

Funny, tender, and surprising, this debut by Filipino writer/director Martika Ramirez Escobar is the definition of brimming with life.

This ambitious sequel channels the fallout of Chadwick Boseman’s death into a meaningful, almost meta, reflection of the post-Phase Three Marvel Cinematic Universe.

With pomp, pageantry, and pulp, director Robert Eggers has mashed up the bare bones of Hamlet’s revenge plot with Norse mythology.

A father and son rivalry set in the brutal world of mixed martial arts fighting.

Christopher Nolan’s time-bending fantasy deliberately prioritizes mystery and spectacle over character and keeps viewers in the dark for most of its first half.

A sequel of sorts to Mel Gibson’s wildly successful, albeit historically inaccurate, 1995 epic Braveheart.

If the racing scenes give off a you-are-there sensation, the rest of the movie doesn’t leave you in the dust either.
