The movie boasts a star-studded cast including Ana de Armas and Bridgerton breakout Rege-Jean Page, and action sequences that feel like a cross between The Winter Soldier and the Fast & Furious franchise. Based on the novel by Mark Greaney, it follows Court Gentry/Sierra Six (Ryan Gosling), a highly skilled operative for the CIA who becomes embroiled in a game of cat and mouse with the psychopath Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans).

Stars: Jamie Foxx Bud Jablonkski, Dave Franco Seth, Snoop Dogg Big John Elliott, Karla Souza Audrey, Meagan Good Jocelyn Jablonski.Add in Dave Franco as a neurotic bureaucrat and Snoop Dogg as a vampire hunter (yes really) and you have a recipe for a great time. Who can forget the first time they saw Blade take out a nightclub full of vampires, or Buffy Summers staking the undead on a weekly basis? Day Shift puts a new spin on the subgenre, painting vampire hunting as a job - and Jamie Foxx’s Bud Jablonski is less concerned with saving the world than he is with making rent and getting his daughter the braces she needs.ĭirector JJ Perry brings his stunt experience from the John Wick and Fast & Furious films to his first ever film, resulting in some insanely inventive action sequences - a battle in a bowling alley has just the right amount of absurdity and bloodshed.

Stars: Tom Holland, Victor Sullivan, Sophia Ali, Tati Gabrielle, and Antonio Banderas.Add in a delightfully unhinged Antonio Banderas and a few inventive setpieces including a fight against gravity itself, and this is one game you won’t want to be over.

Dick story, Minority Report finds Cruise’s Ethan Anderton tracking down and stopping crimes before they happen as part of a “pre-crime” unit. Based (as most groundbreaking sci-fi films are) on a Phillip K. Why stop at Top Gun? Make it a Cruise double feature with Minority Report. Starring: Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Kelly McGillis.In this case, it’s the rivalry/friendship between Tom Cruise’s Maverick and Val Kilmer’s Iceman…which lends itself well to a pivotal scene in Maverick. The film is pure ‘80s glory: a high concept pitch, an all star cast, and a friendship that may or may not be laced with homoerotic subtext. Top Gun: Maverick took the world by storm - it’s a critical and commercial success, and is even the front runner for Best Picture at this year’s Academy Awards!
