Cloverfield
This movie revives the "found footage" style to tell the story of an alien invasion in New York, through the reactions of the city's inhabitants, on a low budget. Behind the cameras are big names of the newest generation of Hollywood filmmakers, such as director Matt Reeves (from 'War for the Planet of the Apes'), producers Bryan Burk and J.J. Abrams (from 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens') and screenwriter Drew Goddard (from 'The Martian'). The result is a movie that entertains, mixes styles, and innovates.
The Batman
Forget Christopher Nolan's Batman, or even Zack Snyder's version. 'The Batman' brings a new interpretation of the famous Dark Knight. Inspired by noir cinema and films like 'Zodiac', 'Se7en' and 'Chinatown', the production delivers a slow-burning story, with an investigation into the corrupt underworld of Gotham City politics and the mafia. Directed by Matt Reeves (of 'Planet of the Apes: War'), the feature film addresses the second year of the Caped Crusader's performance, in an excellent interpretation by Robert Pattinson - who lends his most dramatic side here, bringing weight to the hero. To this is added a cast of weight, with Andy Serkis and Jeffrey Wright standing out - but with Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman stealing the show. The action sequences, although rarer, are breathtaking, carrying a certain pomp that fits, yes, the DC character. When all of this is added together, we have a more detective version of Batman, in an enveloping atmosphere movie that, if it does not make us feel better at its end, does carry in its conclusion a message of positive reflection. It may not be the Batman you were expecting to see, but you will certainly be happy to find him.
War for the Planet of the Apes
More than just an action-filled movie full of special effects and big scenes (which, with praise, is also the case here), this super production from filmmaker Matt Reeves offers one more layer to the philosophical discussion about the essence of humanity initiated by the classic 1968 - transforming the feature film into a great metaphor about our world today, making us think. Highlight for Woody Harrelson, highly energetic and magnetic as the antagonist Colonel, plus the brilliant Andy Serkis, as the intelligent leader ape Caesar - in another revolutionary performance with motion capture technology.
Action
Wanted Man
Wanted Man - With Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV) in the lead role, Marked for Death is a thrilling action film that follows an aging detective on a dangerous mission to rescue and protect a witness after a brutal cartel shootout. Directed by Dolph Lundgren, the film takes an unexpected turn when Johansen discovers the attack was carried out by American forces, putting him in a race against time to save his witness and his own life. With a cast that includes Christina Villa (River) and Kelsey Grammer, this thriller is packed with twists and turns and tension from start to finish.
Renegades
Renegades - An explosive film that follows four Special Forces veterans, brought together one last time after one of their own is brutally murdered by a violent gang in London. With the police always nearby, they use refined combat skills to impose their own justice on the city's dark streets in a relentless hunt for revenge. Every moment of the film is full of tension and action, highlighting the actors' skill in high-adrenaline scenes, in a narrative where loyalty and revenge are dramatically intertwined.
Trigger Warning
Trigger Warning is the typical Netflix action movie: in the story, a skilled Special Forces commander (Jessica Alba) takes over her father's bar after he suddenly dies and soon finds herself in conflict with a violent gang on the rise in her hometown. Following in the footsteps of Jennifer Lopez, another streaming action star, Alba comfortably takes on the lead role, showcasing her action skills and reminding the audience of the (good?) old days of Fantastic Four.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is the first installment in the acclaimed reboot of the original saga (started in 1968), following the failure of the first remake in 2001, directed by Tim Burton. This film introduces the character of Caesar (initially played by Roddy McDowall in the original series, and here taken on by Andy Serkis through motion capture), the evolved chimpanzee who starts a revolution against the human race for its subjugation and abuses of his species. This installment breathed new life into the long-standing franchise, with spectacular visual effects, inaugurating a new saga of stories.
