- DirectorJames MangoldStarsHugh JackmanPatrick StewartDafne KeenIn a future where mutants are nearly extinct, an elderly and weary Logan leads a quiet life. But when Laura, a mutant child pursued by scientists, comes to him for help, he must get her to safety.My most anticipated film of the year did not disappoint, instead proving itself to be a masterfully crafted and deeply effecting action/thriller that stays with you long after the credits roll; it is brutal, somber, visceral, heart-breaking, nuanced, tragic and overall an amazingly accomplished piece of work in every possible way.
- DirectorJordan PeeleStarsDaniel KaluuyaAllison WilliamsBradley WhitfordA young African-American visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point.The first two acts are fantastic, creating a palpable sense of growing unease and mounting dread, before the explosive finale brings the story to a satisfying conclusion - all the tension culminating in a brutal final confrontation that isn't afraid to go dark; in the end this one of the absolute best horror films I've ever seen.
- DirectorChris McKayStarsWill ArnettMichael CeraRosario DawsonA cooler-than-ever Bruce Wayne must deal with the usual suspects as they plan to rule Gotham City, while discovering that he has accidentally adopted a teenage orphan who wishes to become his sidekick.At its best when satirising both past Batman films and the overall lore, this is a brilliantly animated, expertly crafted feature with relatable themes and a mile-a-minute pace that packs as many jokes as possible into a taught little package; it's just sad that the best big-screen incarnation of Batman we're going to get for a long time is made out of plastic.
- DirectorChad StahelskiStarsKeanu ReevesRiccardo ScamarcioIan McShaneAfter returning to the criminal underworld to repay a debt, John Wick discovers that a large bounty has been put on his life.One of the rare sequels that matches the quality of the first, this is a highly entertaining film with amazing fast-paced action that's perfectly choreographed and beautifully brutal; the feature also promises a third entry that has the potential to truly excel, whilst standing on its own feet as a staple of modern action cinema.
- DirectorTrey Edward ShultsStarsJoel EdgertonChristopher AbbottCarmen EjogoSecure within a desolate home as an unnatural threat terrorizes the world, a man has established a tenuous domestic order with his wife and son. Then a desperate young family arrives seeking refuge.This taught, tense and gripping psychological thriller is easily one of the most interesting and affecting films of the year, a layered and enigmatic feature that uses it's brilliantly ominous score and unsettling visuals to create a unnervingly bleak atmosphere; it's truly great stuff, an experience that gets under your skin and stays there for days, that represents smart and inspired film-making done right.
- DirectorDanny BoyleStarsEwan McGregorEwen BremnerJonny Lee MillerAfter 20 years abroad, Mark Renton returns to Scotland and reunites with his old friends Sick Boy, Spud, and Begbie.
- DirectorJulia DucournauStarsGarance MarillierElla RumpfRabah Nait OufellaA young woman, studying to be a vet, develops a craving for human flesh.Not just a 'cannibal movie' but rather a complex coming-of-age drama with themes of repressed taboo desires (cranked up to eleven) and feelings of alienation; it's effecting on many levels, an indie film with artistic direction and a masterfully realistic edge, and is a remarkable achievement.
- DirectorTaylor SheridanStarsElizabeth OlsenJeremy RennerGraham GreeneA wildlife officer, who is haunted by a tragedy that happened because of him, teams up with an FBI agent in solving a murder of a young woman on a Wyoming Native American reservation and hopes to get redemption from his past regrets.
- DirectorEdgar WrightStarsAnsel ElgortJon BernthalJon HammAfter being coerced into working for a crime boss, a young getaway driver finds himself taking part in a heist doomed to fail.
- DirectorJon WattsStarsTom HollandMichael KeatonRobert Downey Jr.Peter Parker balances his life as an ordinary high school student in Queens with his superhero alter-ego Spider-Man, and finds himself on the trail of a new menace prowling the skies of New York City.
