Crawl

Starring: Kaya Scodelario, Barry Pepper, Ross Anderson, Anson Boon, George Somner, Morfydd Clark

Directed by: Alexandre Aja

Plot: When a massive hurricane hits her Florida hometown, Haley ignores evacuation orders to search for her missing father.

As time runs out to escape the strengthening storm, Haley and her father discover that the rising water level is the least of their fears.

Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 87%

Critic Consensus: “An action-packed creature feature that’s fast, terrifying, and benefits greatly from a completely game Kaya Scodelario, Crawl is a fun throw-back with just enough self-awareness to work”

Stuber

Starring: Kumail Nanjiani, Dave Bautista, Natalie Morales, Iko Uwais, Betty Gilpin, Jimmy Tatro, Mina Sorvino, Karen Gillan

Directed by: Michael Dowse

Plot: When a mild-mannered Uber driver named Stu picks up a passenger who turns out to be a cop hot on the trail of a brutal killer, he’s thrust into a harrowing ordeal where he desperately tries to hold onto his wits, his life, and his five-star rating.

RT Freshness: 46%

Critic Consensus: “Though it makes a strong case for future collaborations between Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista, Stuber fails to mesh its contrasting genres, settling for an overtly violent, mildly entertaining diversion that’s far from a five-star ride”
