Action Picks

Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li get dragged into the World Warrior Tournament, a brutal clash of fists that masks a deadly conspiracy forcing old friends to face off. Kitao Sakurai stacks the card with Andrew Koji, Joe Anoa'i, and David Dastmalchian, and the hand-to-hand combat lands harder on a big screen. Expect momentum over subtlety, which is exactly the point.

Medical courier Bryan gets caught in one horrifying night that collapses into chaos, and at 95 minutes it moves fast and hits hard. Zach Cregger directs a cast led by Austin Abrams, Kali Reis, and Paul Walter Hauser, and it sits at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. It is playing across more cinemas than anything else this week, so there is plenty of room to catch the big-screen tension.
