Director: Eshom Nelms, Ian Nelms
Cast: Mel Gibson, Walton Goggins, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Chance Hurstfield, Robert Bockstael
There are indications the filmmakers think they’re operating in the realm of satire but the movie gets lost in action/thriller territory that’s anything but thrilling.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Thriller
Director: Mark Williams

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Violence, Sexual Content)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Veena Sud
Cast: Peter Sarsgaard, Joey King, Mireille Enos, Cas Anvar, Devery Jacobs
Exemplifies Blumhouse at its worst and it’s not hard to see why this failed Hitchcock wannabe was never released theatrically. Even at the attractive price of “free,” it’s not worth it.
U.S. Release Date: 2020-05-08
MPAA Rating: "NR" (Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama
Director: Lara Jean Gallagher
Cast: Otmara Marrero, Sydney Sweeney, Sonya Walger, Will Brittain
The way in which it is presented by first-time feature director Lara Jean Gallagher is slow, awkward, and pretentious.

Director: William Dear
Cast: Richard Grieco, Roger Rees, Linda Hunt, Robin Bartlett, Gabrielle Anwar, Geraldine James, Michael Siberry, Roger Daltry
The filmmakers underestimate the audience’s intelligence, delivering something cartoonish and unfunny that doesn’t work as a comedy, an action/adventure spoof, or much of anything else.

"Men in Black International" is more than just an afterthought; it’s an unfortunate afterthought.

Genre: Thriller
Director: Deon Taylor
Cast: Dennis Quaid, Meagan Good, Michael Ealy, Joseph Sikora, Alvina August

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Viscera, Profanity, Brief Nudity)
