Leo Woodall plays a piano tuner whose gift for perfect pitch turns out to unlock more than instruments, pulling him into safe-cracking and a life turned upside down. With Dustin Hoffman and Jean Reno along for the ride, it is an elegant, suspenseful thriller that stays stylish rather than brutal. Rated 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, it is a smart, satisfying watch that rewards two people guessing where it goes next.

Brendan Fraser is an American adrift in Tokyo who takes a strange gig playing stand-in relatives for strangers, only to find the bonds turning genuinely tender.
