Genre: Thriller
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Cast: Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rupert Grint, Abby Quinn, Kristen Cui
The mediocre mystery/thriller not only fails to draw in viewers but falls short both in terms of world-building and suspense.

Genre: Drama/Thriller
Director: Mary Nighy

Genre: Action
Director: Jean-Francois Richet

The movie offers limited entertainment for those who enjoy this sort of fare but fails as anything more than a throw-away streaming option.

Genre: Fantasy/Adventure
Director: S.S. Rajamouli
Cast: N.T. Rama Rao Jr., Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt, Olivia Morris, Shriya Saran, Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Rude Behavior)
Genre: Drama
Director: Marc Forster
Cast: Tom Hanks, Mariana Trevino, Rachel Keller, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Cameron Britton, Mike Birbiglia, Truman Hanks
The things that work outweigh those that do not and the performance by Hanks is the glue that holds everything together.
