Action Picks

After a pandemic guts the world, a lone survivor holed up in a Colorado airplane hangar with his dog and a hard gunman picks up a mysterious radio transmission and chases it down in his old Cessna. Ridley Scott directs Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin and Guy Pearce through science fiction adventure that trades on tension and a relentless forward pull. The wide open landscapes and aerial scenes earn the big screen.

Framed for his billionaire boss's murder, Cole Reed boards a cargo ship on a solo crusade for payback and uncovers an international conspiracy. Jason Statham anchors this action thriller from director Jean-Francois Richet, and the confined shipboard setting keeps the violence tight and personal. Screenings are thin this week, so plan ahead if you want to catch it.
