The new imagining of "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" is built upon a much different killer construct but is more apt with the current climate in how it presents its characters and how it plays. The original created a different psychological intent while the new version uses both concepts of sexuality and jealousy while also keeping a certain angle of the original intact.

After the texture of "Endurance" and before that "Free Solo", the filmmakers behind these stories always say they search for unusual and stories that need to be told. Their latest "Lost In The Jungle" made alongside Juan Camilo Cruz tells the story of a group of siblings who after crashing in a plane are lost in the jungle for nearly 40 days. It is an interesting story but is almost an unusual subject for the pair.

With "Rogue Agent", another film premiering on AMC+ after the recent "Stowaway", there is a consistency of the selections in a way while adhering to a thriller genre. Both have been female led films with an active pursuit of truth but with flawed execution and yet important character beats.

Creating a thriller on a boat has been done many times but integrating it in the context of a new streaming service is an interesting choice. “Stowaway” stars Frank Grillo and Ruby Rose but this is more specifically a film for Rose as Bella, a girl whose childhood became a hard knock life.

The intensity of "The Gray Man" is not to be underdone. It is a bombastic tour de force technically but devoid at many points of substance. In a film like this, the key is to play to the anti-hero and keep moving. But even with something to fight for and a lack of any romance at all, there is an emptiness to it.

The essence of Shakespeare reflects in seeing an essence of truth beneath the structure but also finding something in brevity. With "The Tragedy Of Macbeth", the players are fantastic, the production stylized but the approach is finite simply because of its essence.

The aspect of big star vehicles made because of a good relationship between partners can either be great or a miss in certain ways. "Red Notice", an uber budgeted action comedy on Netflix starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot has a good concept and just wants to have fun but is that needed for such a large scale film? Yes and no.

McCarthy is not bad. Her timing is inevitably right on point. It is just the overall possibility of the plot seems beneath her. Many directors (specifically Paul Feig) know that it is about skirting the edge with McCarthy and how to focus her talent. Her beauty is being almost out of control but with a heart.
