Written by and starring Tom Hanks and directed by Aaron Schneider, Greyhound follows captain Ernest Krause, played by Hanks, in the early days of WWII. Krause commands an international convoy of 37 Allied ships as his first command of a U.S. destroyer.
They cross the treacherous North Atlantic while hotly pursued by wolf packs of Nazi U-boats. The story originates from actual events and the novel The Good Shepherd by C. S. Forester.
Also starring in the movie is Elisabeth Shue, Rob Morgan, and Stephen Graham. Make sure you watch the trailer because the movie is intense and visceral.
Directed by Joe Wright, The Woman in the Window is a psychological suspense thriller with a stellar cast. But, don’t fall for the psychotropic drugs because the psychiatric industry labels a person, so Big Pharma can make money and ruin lives. If this woman, played by Amy Adams, were not on these drugs, she’d function just fine.
As the story goes, a child psychologist, Adams, befriends a neighbor, played by Julianne Moore, across the street from her New York City brownstone, only to see her own life turned upside down when the woman disappears, and she suspects foul play.
Tracy Letts’ screenplay based on the gripping, best-selling novel, brings to life, where shocking secrets revealed, and no one-and nothing-is what it seems.
Also starring is Gary Oldman, Anthony Mackie, Wyatt Russell, Brian Tyree Henry, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Written by Andrew Crabtree and directed by Anthony Jerjen, Inherit the Viper follows two siblings, Kip, played by Josh Hartnett, and Josie, played by Margarita Levieva. Dealing with opioids isn’t just their family business; it’s their only means of survival.
When a deal goes fatally wrong, Kip decides he wants out. But Kip’s attempt to escape his family’s legacy ignites a powder keg of violence and betrayal, imperiling Kip, Josie, and their younger brother, Boots, played by Owen Teague.
Stories involving families are searing and make a compelling situation for a crime-thriller. The movie also includes Valorie Curry, Chandler Riggs, Brad William Henke, Tara Buck, Dash Mihok, and Bruce Dern.
Written and directed by Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz, Antebellum follows Veronica Henley, played by Janelle Moná. She is a successful author and finds herself trapped in a horrifying existence. The short trailer shows her going from the civil war era to modern time. And it’s creepy. There is a place that is the Antebellum era from history as a thriller, and the fourth trailer seems to indicate it is in the movie, too.
Her necessity to uncover the mind-bending mystery before it’s too late is the force of the movie. The 911 call is coming from her or someone else? The image of the butterfly on the poster is intriguing.
Lionsgate calls the movie a terrifying new thriller, and Bush and Renz are reasonably new filmmakers. The rest of the cast includes Marque Richardson II, Eric Lange, Jack Huston, Kiersey Clemons, Tongayi Chirisa, Gabourey Sidibe, Rob Aramayo, Lily Cowles, and Jena Malone.
Directed by Reed Morano, The Rhythm Section follows Stephanie Patrick, played by Blake Lively. She is an ordinary woman on a path of self-destruction after the tragedy of her family’s death in a plane crash.
When Stephanie discovers that the crash was not an accident, she enters a dark, complex world to seek revenge on those responsible and find her redemption. Based on the novel by Mark Burnell, who created a series of books based on the character Stephanie Patrick. Burnell also wrote the screenplay for the movie.
Morano is an Emmy-winning director for The Handmaid’s Tale and a talented cinematographer. The Rhythm Section also stars Jude Law and Sterling K. Brown.
The movie trailer looks legit, and it’s exciting to see Lively get a movie of this caliber. Lively also starred in A Simple Favor with Anne Kendrick. I highly recommendA Simple Favor. Lively’s part is smaller, but it’s a good movie.
The movie clip is an intense car chase that keeps you on the edge of your proverbial seat.
The next trailer, designed for social media platforms, I don’t see much of a difference.
The next two featurettes lack enough information to tell you about the story, which is crucial to making this movie entertaining, and not just another female action movie.
The two movie clips show how Lively’s character is withdrawn but emerging and calculating.
Directed by Matias Moltrasio, En Brazos De Un Asesino follows Victor, played by William Levy. He is smooth-talking, seductive, eye candy for the ladies and a cold-blooded assassin who kills for money.
When he arrives at the home of an unmerciful drug lord to collect payment for his recent assassination, he encounters the gorgeous Sarai, played by Alicia Sanz. She spent the last nine years forced to be with the drug lord.
Victor leaves the drug lord’s compound, and Sarai seizes her chance at freedom by hiding out in Victor’s car. But things don’t go as planned, and instead of being transported back to her home, she finds herself free from one dangerous man only to be caught in the clutches of another.
While on the run from the vengeful drug lord and his brutal henchmen, Victor’s conscience catches up with him as he risks all he stands for to protect his captive.
In the end, the power Sarai unknowingly holds over Victor, and their undeniable attraction, places her right in the arms of a killer.
The thriller, based on the book “Killing Sarai,” by J.A. Redmerski, also stars Adrian Lastra, Roberto Sosa, Ettore D’Alessandro and Jean Jean.
Written and directed by Scott Z. Burns, The Report story played out on the headlines and newscasters had a field day with the conspiracy behind the expose of the evil, brutality at CIA’s Detention Center and Interrogation Program. The movie is a far cry from A Few Good Men.
The Report is a gripping thriller based on actual events. Naive and unrealistic staffer Daniel J. Jones, played by Adam Driver, is tasked by his boss Senator Dianne Feinstein, played by Annette Bening, to lead an investigation of the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program, which developed from the aftermath of 9/11.
Jones’ unremitting pursuit of the truth leads to dangerous findings that uncover the lengths to which the nation’s top intelligence agency went to suppress evidence, subvert the law, and hide a brutal secret from the American public.
The next trailer shows a pretty hard subject to explain in a matter of two hours.
The next six clips show what this man went through to get to the truth of what happened during the CIA’s interrogations of potential terrorists. Driver is so good at conveying the feeling that maybe all his work will be for not.
Directed by Scott Cooper, Antlers is a horror movie beyond horror movies. In a small-town Oregon, the story follows a young boy, played by Jeremy T. Thomas, who is creepy when he reads his story to his teacher, Keri Russell.
His story is so diabolical that it is undeniably evil and insane. The teacher’s brother is a sheriff, played by Jesse Plemons, and together they investigate the possible horrors within this boy’s life.
The teacher and her brother discover that the boy is harboring a dangerous secret with frightening consequences relating to ancestral spirits of some kind.
Guillermo Del Toro is one of the producers of the movie. Based on the short story The Quiet Boy by Nick Antosca, the screenplay by Henry Chaisson and Nick Antosca with revisions by Cooper.
“I couldn’t be more excited to begin production on Antlers with Guillermo Del Toro, and reunite with my dear friends at Fox Searchlight,” said Cooper. “They’re incredible filmmakers – not to mention necessary filmmakers – and are extremely passionate and supportive of my vision as I venture into yet another genre, and delve into the unnerving world of ancestral spirits.”
The second trailer is creepy without telling us anything about the storyline.
The third trailer is a redband trailer, but it doesn’t seem that gross or disgusting.
Kristen Stewart is trapped 7 miles below the surface.
Directed by William Eubank, the studios promote Underwater as being about “a crew of underwater researchers must scramble to safety after an earthquake devastates their subterranean laboratory.”
Now, that is far from what is in the movie trailer. The poster says, “…something has awakened.” Horror best describes this movie starring Kristen Stewart, T.J. Miller, Vincent Cassel, John Gallagher Jr., Jessica Henwick, Mamoudou Athie, and Gunner Wright.
Eubank started his film career as a second unit director and cinematographer. Now, he is a director, including the movies The Signal and Love, which won an award for Athens International Film Festival Best Director as well as Motion Picture Sound Editors, USA sound editing – direct to video.
Gunner Wright starred in Love about an astronaut in continuous orbit around Earth, out of communication with Houston, doing maintenance, reading old messages, and reading a journal from Civil War veteran.
Stewart looks good in the trailer donning a bra and short blonde hair. She is the focus of the story. A story that is not delineated by the studios yet. It looks terrifying and was shot well by Eubank.
The following clips show they are in deep trouble, and there is no safe way out of the situation.
My interest in this movie started when I first saw the trailer on Facebook. I watched it muted because I didn’t want to be rude, playing the sound in public.
I saw a movie that I wanted to see.
The situation in the story is interesting because we appear to see a perfect student named Luce, played by Kelvin Harrison Jr. His teacher, Harriet Wilson, played by Octavia Spencer, suspects him to be violent.
Julius Onah co-wrote and directed Luce, a smart psychological thriller adapted from JC Lee’s play of the same name. Lee also co-wrote the screenplay with Onah.
Onah talked about collaborating with Lee on the screenplay, “Despite how different we are on some levels, we have a similar sensibility when it comes to storytelling and the way we want to explore ideas and issues. Neither of us want to tell stories that are prescriptive or didactic in how they explore complex social issues. We both want to ask people to consider their blind spots, and to recognize their experience of the world will never be identical with anyone else’s.”
An all-star high school athlete and accomplished debater, Luce is a poster boy for the new American Dream. As are his parents, played by Naomi Watts and Tim Roth, adopted him from a war-torn country a decade earlier.
When Luce’s teacher, Ms. Wilson, makes a shocking discovery in his locker, Luce’s stellar reputation comes into question. But is he really at fault, or is Ms. Wilson preying on dangerous stereotypes?
Watching the trailer, Onah creates an intense, multi-layered, and entertaining look at identity in today’s America.
