Genre: Drama/Mystery
Director: Sebastian Lelio
Cast: Florence Pugh, Kila Lord Cassidy, Tom Burke, Elaine Cassidy, Caolan Byrne, Toby Jones, Ciaran Hinds
Despite its strong sense of atmosphere and an intense performance by lead actress Florence Pugh, "The Wonder" is strangely uninvolving.

Director: Gina Prince-Bythewood

Genre: Drama
Director: Nathalie Biancheri
Cast: George MacKay, Lily-Rose Depp, Paddy Considine, Eileen Walsh
The world-building is inadequate and the storyline is erratic. There are some good performances here, but the movie as a whole doesn’t work.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Thriller
Director: Stefano Sollima
Cast: Michael B. Jordan, Jodie Turner-Smith, Jamie Bell, Guy Pearce, Lauren London
For something based on a Clancy novel, it’s disappointingly lacking in the author’s trademark complexity and detail. This is pure disposable entertainment – nothing more, nothing less.
