Action Picks

A whole suburban street gets ripped out of reality and dumped somewhere unknown, and the Platt family has to survive it together. It's a lean sci-fi thriller from David Robert Mitchell that trades on dread and forward motion rather than slow talk, with Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor carrying the tension. At 99 minutes it doesn't overstay, and it's showing in English across the city.

A gifted piano tuner discovers his precision translates into cracking safes, and his life goes sideways from there. It's a crime-thriller with a genuine heist hook, Leo Woodall and Dustin Hoffman in the cast, and a strong 94 on the critics' scale, though the drama label means it leans more clever than explosive. It's in English, but screenings are more limited than the top picks, so catch it while you can.
