god is a bullet

god is a bullet

Nick Cassavetes directs an opera of blood and destruction in which Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Maika Monroe form a ferocious combo of revenge. Their mission against the members of a murderous sect who killed the ex-cop's wife and kidnapped his daughter, drags them deep into it, so they must determine how far they are willing to go to achieve their goal. GOD IS A BULLET stands true to its name, mercilessly hitting its target.

frontiers

frontiers

Since a tragic accident that took her father's life, Diane has panic attacks – she thinks a ghost is on her heels. In this mystery thriller with western elements full of dark omens, no one can easily get past the women in the story – especially not a man. The loaded guns are always ready, the mood is correspondingly tense. In FRONTIERS, paranoia creeps up on you from all sides and stays in your bones for a long time.

mad fate

mad fate

Can we stand up to fate? A mediocre fortune-teller makes it his mission to keep a young man with a bloodthirsty yearning from becoming a killer. LIMBO director Soi Cheang delves into the depths of the human soul with his trademark hard-boiled verve. Like all of this works, MAD FATE, again produced by Hong Kong cinema legend Johnnie To, is filled with dark humor, incredibly intense acting and an outstanding direction.
