Action Picks

A cosmic event rips an entire neighborhood out of suburbia and drops it somewhere unknown, forcing the Platt family to fight to survive in hostile new surroundings. Director David Robert Mitchell keeps it lean at 99 minutes, and Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor give it weight. English-language screenings are widely available here, so it's an easy catch.

A gifted piano tuner discovers he can crack safes just as easily as pianos, and his life goes sideways in this crime thriller stacked with Dustin Hoffman and Jean Reno. Critics are on board at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes (7.2 IMDb), and the safe-cracking angle delivers the heist tension action fans crave. Screenings in English are limited this week — only a handful of showings, so catch it while you can.
