Starring Chadwick Boseman and J.K. Simmons, 21 Bridges is a Brian Kirk-directed crime/thriller about a citywide manhunt for a pair of cop killers.
Additional key cast includes Taylor Kitsch and Sienna Miller.
I’m excited about what looks like an all-night chase sequence.

American Assassin isn’t exactly a terrible movie; it’s just that director Michael Cuesta’s film didn’t have anything particularly new to show me. At least not until the thing that happens on/in the ocean towards the end. That moment definitely had my attention.
Starring Michael Keaton, Sanaa Lathan and Dylan O’Brien, I must admit that I struggled to remain interested during numerous scenes that I felt I’d seen many times before in other better executed action thrillers; The Bourne Identity (2002) being one such film.
Performance-wise, O’Brien didn’t do a bad job. As for Taylor Kitsch though, I can’t say I bought into his character’s anger completely.
Assuming that this movie was shot after the Maze Runner – The Death Cure on-set accident, I was certainly happy to see O’brien looking physically well again. Overall, the story of this movie simply wasn’t new enough for me. At least not new in enough ways to prevent it from feeling tedious.
Watch it if you absolutely must. Otherwise, three words: The Bourne Identity (2002). Two more words: Casino Royale (2006). Three more words: I joke, I have no more words… at this time.

Only The Brave is based on the true story of the elite crew of firemen known as the Granite Mountain Hotshots from Prescott, Arizona.
In June 2013, the men battled a wildfire in Yarnell, AZ that claimed the lives of 19 of their members. Directed by Joseph Kosinski; Josh Brolin, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller and Taylor Kitsch star.
The cast is reliable, the story is interesting and that footage of a bear running while on fire is spectacular.
My fingers are crossed that there’ll be more very impressive fire special effects in the finished movie.
Only The Brave Release Dates: September 22nd, 2017 (UK); October 20th, 2017 (US)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of MAmerican Assassin (2017).
American Assassin stars Dylan O’Brien, Sanaa Lathan, Michael Keaton and Taylor Kitsch.
Directed by Michael Cuesta, the story centres on counterterrorism agent Mitch Rapp (O’Brien).
There’s a hint of good ‘gunplay‘ in this trailer; something I do rather enjoy in movies. Nevertheless, the most this American Assassin trailer has done for me is make me want to re-watch Skyfall (2012).
I don’t know if the story just doesn’t seem fresh and new enough, or perhaps Daniel Craig’s James Bond just has too big a piece of my heart.
Scott Adkins, and David Suchet also star.
American Assassin Release Dates: September 15th, 2017 (US & UK)…
