A mostly successful sequel that preserves the original’s vertigo and white-knuckle stunts while leaning on familiar personal revelations; Harriet Slater and Arsema Thomas give strong performances, Tom Brittney provides credible authority, and the Thai-mountain setup remains tense, but the script rehashes past twists and a late turn undercuts the tension, even as a third film is teased.
An anarchic, entertaining action-comedy, Mayday pairs Ryan Reynolds’s swaggering fighter pilot with Kenneth Branagh’s retired KGB agent for a high-spirited road-and-chase buddy romp across 1980s tensions, mixing sharp banter with stunt-filled set pieces and a cheeky final twist; it lands on Apple TV on September 4.

Roundup of four 2026 releases: The Furious delivers kinetic, ballet-like action with dazzling choreography but uneven English and FX; The Currents gives a compassionate, visually restrained portrait of depression and dissociation; Find Your Friends struggles with tonal muddiness as a rape-revenge-tinged party thriller; Disclosure Day ambitiously reopens Spielberg’s alien-conspiracy playbook but trips on tangents, still delivering a technically polished thriller thanks to score and craft.

Netflix streams War Machine, a sub-2-hour action movie led by Alan Ritchson. The review commends the brisk pacing but argues the script is overly formulaic and underuses its star, with the ending hinting at a possible sequel; the film sits at 2.5/5.
