This is the intriguing setup The Ripa new intense action film from the director Joe Carnahan. It’s no spoiler to reveal that others find out about the money and want it for themselves. Can Dane and JD trust each other? And if not, who will betray the other first? And what about the other officers on his team, who apparently want the cash for themselves? With a solid supporting cast that includes One battle after another‘s Teyana Taylor i Friday night lights‘ Kyle Chandler, The Rip it is a throwback to all of these Tony Scott i Antoine Fuqua action thrillers that dominated the box office 20 years ago. If this portends a revival, then I’m totally on board with what’s to come.
The Rip it’s streaming on Netflix.
‘Just Go With It’ (2011)
Nicole Kidman was in one Adam Sandler comedy? It happened, and the result is surprisingly decent. In the 2011 comedy Just go with itSandler plays successful plastic surgeon Danny, who falls in love with a woman, Palmer (Brooklyn Decker), after their one-night stand. She thinks he’s married with kids, but he’s really not—he’s single and wears a wedding ring to attract women. Palmer is different, so in an attempt to win her back, he asks his office manager, divorced single mom Katherine (Aniston), to pose as his soon-to-be-divorced wife so she can convince Palmer that he’s a good guy.
The plot is complicated, maybe a little too complicated for a frivolous comedy like this, but it works by setting the stage for a series of mistaken identity gags at an exotic resort in Hawaii. And where is Kidman in all this? She plays Katherine’s childhood nemesis, Devlin, who, believe it or not, engages her in a nightclub dance.
Yes, it’s ridiculous, but it’s also fun to watch. Sandler and Aniston have an easy chemistry that makes everything work, which is why they later joined Netflix. murder mystery movies years later. If the film’s many wild inconsistencies and contrivances begin to annoy you, follow the advice of the film’s title; you just have to follow it.
Just go with it it’s streaming on Netflix.
Hellboy (2004)
Before the mcu took over the world, comic book movies were more misses than hits. One of the few who got it right was HellboyGuillermo del Toro’s imaginative take on the popular supernatural hero Dark Horse. Ron Perlman stars the titular character, a red-skinned creature from another world who was raised to protect Earth from evil. Working for the BRPD (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense), he teams up with the amphibian Abe Sapien (Doug Jones) and pyrokinetic Liz Sherman (Selma Blair) to prevent Griorgi Rasputin from opening a portal to Hellboy’s dimension and threatening everyone on Earth.

Aside from its standard villain-wants-to-destroy-the-world plot, Hellboy stands out from others in its genre for its stylish direction, creative production design and inventive special effects. The acting is also surprisingly good, with character actor Perlman finally finding a role that showcases all of his strengths. Equally strong is Blair as the empowered—literally!—Liz, who struggles to control the special abilities that make her a threat to both the villains and herself.
