Trailer
Why watch this film?
As a disaster movie, 'The 5th Wave' has an interesting premise on paper: the progressive reduction of humanity to its minimum expression, first without technology, then without protection against the environment and diseases, until it can no longer trust itself. It starts off interestingly with the progression of disasters, creating tension and atmosphere, even if it later falls into the clichés of teenage drama. Without many compromises, it's a disaster movie that delivers the expected, and an essential for Chlöe Grace Moretz fans.

I Care a Lot
Screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical category, 'I Care a Lot' is an interesting mix of comedy, drama, and suspense that is very well produced and original from Netflix. In the plot, we follow the story of a corrupt legal guardian who drains the economies of her elderly wards by placing them under her care in a nursing home. But she finds her true rival when a woman she tries to scam turns out to be smarter than she looks at first glance - and with dangerous connections that may end up bringing down her scheme. Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, and Dianne Wiest steal the show with moments that range in genre but manage to keep the quality of the film as a whole.
Action
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One - A fast-paced action, mystery and thriller film that follows a young woman with impressive telekinetic powers, desperately fighting for her life while unraveling the mysteries of her past, pursued by unscrupulous killers. With Blue Dragon Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Seo Eun-su) and Best New Actress (Cynthia), this film captures the protagonist's intense battle to find answers and justice, facing not only her persecutors, but also to his own inner demons.
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
