Action Picks

Tuner follows a piano tuner whose ear for precision turns into a talent for cracking safes, and his life tips sideways from there. It is a crime thriller with a heist engine, a sharp cast led by Leo Woodall alongside Dustin Hoffman and Jean Reno, and it earns its 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.2 on IMDb. Go for the tension and the clever mechanics of the score.

Mutiny is a lean action thriller: Jason Statham's Cole Reed witnesses his boss's murder, gets framed, and boards a cargo ship on a one-man revenge run that uncovers an international conspiracy. Director Jean-Francois Richet keeps the stakes high and the momentum forward, exactly the kind of contained, hard-hitting action that plays big loud. Screenings are on the thinner side this week, so plan around it if you want to catch it.
