Kleber Mendonça Filho's 160 minute political thriller packs a punch.

Set in 1977 Brazil, the movie follows Marcelo (Wagner Maura), a tech expert who returns to his hometown of Recife on the Atlantic coast to escape his troubled past.

Spike Lee's modern update of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 thriller “High and Low” hit Cannes audiences in their guts.

It's been a minute since New York City has taken over the big screen for a major crime drama. The city that never sleeps never stops changing. Even New Yorkers need a look at the city through fresh eyes.

"Highest 2 Lowest" has crowd-pleaser written all over  it.
