Action Picks

A lone survivor holed up in a Colorado hangar with his dog and a hardened gunman picks up a mysterious radio transmission, and the chase for its source drives the film. Ridley Scott directs a strong cast led by Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin, and the wide-open Cessna sequences are made for a large screen. Expect a lean, forward-moving thriller rather than a quiet drama.

Framed for his boss's murder, Cole Reed boards a cargo ship on a one-man crusade and uncovers an international conspiracy. Jason Statham does exactly what you want him to do here, and at 95 minutes it stays tight and brutal. Screenings this week are very few, so grab the one chance you get if this is your speed.
