Genre: Drama
Director: Mimi Leder
Cast: Felicity Jones, Armie Hammer, Justin Theroux, Sam Waterston, Kathy Bates, Cailee Spaeny, Jack Reynor, Stephen Root, Chris Mulkey
Although the film’s heart is in the right place, there are times when it misses the mark as a fully fleshed-out biography.

Genre: Adventure
Director: David Mackenzie
Cast: Chris Pine, Stephen Dillane, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Billy Howle, Tony Curran, Florence Pugh, Josie O’Brien, James Cosmo
With the exception of a few slow spots, this "Braveheart" quasi-sequel flows briskly and is one of the better “Netflix originals” the service has provided.

Genre: Comedy/Thriller
Director: David Lowery

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Drugs)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Gary Ross
Cast: Sandra Bullock, Richard Armitage, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham-Carter, Cate Blanchett, James Corden
A poorly-designed heist leads to a surprisingly lackluster experience, unless you’re on hand primarily for the fun of seeing eight talented actresses interacting.
U.S. Release Date: 2018-05-04
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Brief Nudity)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Rob Greeenberg
Cast: Anna Faris, Eugenio Derbez, Eva Longoria, John Hannah, Mel Rodriguez, Swoosie Kurtz, Emily Maddison, Hannah Nordberg, Alyvia Alyn Lind
Invested in audiences buying these two as a mismatched couple but the lack of a connection between Faris and Derbez makes it an unwise venture.
