The Guilty

The Guilty has a lot going for it even before Jake Gyllenhaal's lead performance. It was directed by Training Day's Antoine Fuqua and written by True Detective's Nick Pizzolatto. The Guilty is a remake of the same-named award-winning Danish movie from 2018. It tells the story of Joe Baylor, a troubled police officer who has been sent to work as an operator at an emergency call centre. One day, a woman calls him and says she's been kidnapped. As he tries to save her, he finds out that nothing is as it seems. uwatchfree hd movies from this site of the same genre.

To keep people interested in movies that mostly take place in one place and focus on one character, the acting has to be really good, and Gyllenhaal is more than up to the task. Gyllenhaal takes the audience on a tense, tight, and agonising thrill ride, building up the tension as Joe has nothing but a phone to save a woman's life but other actors' voices to bounce off of. In fact, a movie based on phone calls uses sound in a chilling and creative way, and the fact that we can't see anything only makes our mental pictures of what's happening worse and plays a key role in the twists.

The Farewell

The 2019 drama by Lulu Wang is a great one. It's about a young Chinese-American woman named Billi who goes to China with her family to plan a wedding for her grandmother before she dies. Billi is shocked at first to find out that everyone in her family except for her grandmother knows that she doesn't have long to live. However, she soon finds a way to connect with her heritage that makes the lie seem different.

Awkwafina plays the lead role. She has been praised for her supporting roles in Crazy Rich Asians and Ocean's 8. For her performance, she became the first woman of Asian descent to win a lead acting award at the Golden Globes. The movie was advertised as "based on a real lie," and it does a smart job of exploring family ties and finding one's own identity. It also has great acting and a script that is both funny and sad.

Worth

As the 20th anniversary of the terrible 9/11 attacks approaches, there have been a lot of new releases about the tragedy. However, few are as powerful as this dramatisation of real events. Worth is about a lawyer named Kenneth Feinberg who is put in charge of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. He soon has to figure out how much a life is worth financially so that he can help the families of those who died. But he doesn't start to understand the human cost of the tragedy until he fights with a widowed community organiser. He soon has to fight bureaucracy and politics to get the victims the money they deserve.

The film's subject matter gives it dramatic weight and, more importantly, responsibility right away, but thankfully, Worth avoids most biopic traps to give a nuanced and complex look at a side of the disaster that is often forgotten. The movie's focus on long scenes of people talking in rooms may take away some of its power, but it gives actors like Amy Ryan, Stanley Tucci, and Michael Keaton a chance to shine. It also opens up a lot of philosophical questions, like "How much is a human life worth?"

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf

Netflix has put all of its money into The Witcher franchise by ordering not one but two spin-offs before season two of The Witcher, which has been delayed for a long time. The live-action spin-off series The Witcher: Blood Origin isn't coming out for a while yet, but this anime feature film came out pretty quickly and has a lot to offer fans who want more Witcher content. Nightmare of the Wolf tells the story of how Vesemir became Geralt's mentor. It goes back to when Vesemir was a young witcher who was proud of himself and enjoying the money and fame he got from hunting monsters. But when a strange new monster starts to cause trouble in the kingdom, Vesemir has to face his dark past and think about what it means to be a witcher.

In season two of the main show, Vesemir will be a wise witcher-trainer, but this spin-off gives us a rare chance to see the Continent from a different angle and learn more about Vesemir and witchers in general. Fans of the lore will especially enjoy this movie, which shows in detail how witchers are made and looks at how mages and witchers interact with each other. Those who didn't like the original series with Henry Cavill won't find much new in this spin-off, but those who know at least a little bit about Strigas and Kikimoras will enjoy the swashbuckling adventure, great animation, and creative action.

Fans of Castlevania will like this anime because it uses the same voice actors, Theo James and Graham McTavish, as the Castlevania anime.

Vivo

Lin-Manuel Miranda, who plays Hamilton, has been very busy this year. His first musical, In the Heights, is being turned into a movie, and his first-ever animated film, Vivo, is also being shown on Netflix. The movie is also the first musical from Sony Pictures Animation. It's about Vivo, a music-loving kinkajou voiced by Miranda who has to deliver a long-lost love song for his owner to a famous singer.

Even though Vivo is a bright and funny adventure, like you'd expect from a family animation, it doesn't hesitate to talk about hard things like death and loss early on. It's not a sad story, though. Like Coco, Vivo uses music to explore themes like family, death, and local cultural traditions. Miranda's original songs and a bright picture of Cuba make this a charming and fun adventure for people of all ages.

It's another critical hit for Sony Pictures Animation. For years, the studio struggled to keep up with the likes of Pixar and Dreamworks, but since winning an Oscar for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the studio has been consistently praised. Vivo will be their third movie for Netflix. Wish Dragon and The Mitchells vs. the Machines were both well-liked as well (also on our list).

Fear Street trilogy

Have you ever thought about how Stranger Things would look if it was a full-on slasher horror movie? The answer is probably a lot like Fear Street: Part 1: 1994, the first of three movies based on Goosebumps author R.L. Stine's classic teen horror books. Netflix has changed the way we watch movies by putting out the whole trilogy over the course of three weeks. This is a first for streaming services, and it means that we don't have to wait years for sequels and can get three scary movies in one month.

Part 1: 1994 pays tribute to the slasher movies of the 1990s, like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, with a lot of songs from that time period. Even though the movie isn't a direct adaptation of any of Stine's books, it is based on the whole series. For example, it takes place in Shadyside, where a group of teenagers find out the cause of a curse that has been plaguing the area for 300 years. This is something that is further explored in the next books in the series.

Appropriately, a few of the actors from Stranger Things also appear in this horror film. Maya Hawke, who plays Robin, is in a short but important scene in Part 1, and Sadie Sink is in Part 2: 1978. The last entry goes all the way back to 1666, which is when the terror started.

Blood Red Sky

After scary creature movies like Snakes on a Plane and Train to Busan, the Netflix Original Blood Red Sky has decided that vampires on a plane are the best way to scare people and get them where they need to go. This German movie has a great idea: it's about a woman named Nadja who has a mysterious illness and takes a transatlantic flight with her son to try to get help in New York. But when terrorists take over their overnight flight, it turns out that Nadja doesn't have a normal illness. She has to use her horrible secret to save her son and the other passengers before the sun rises.

Netflix has had a string of unique horror hits like Army of the Dead, Awake, and the Fear Street Trilogy, and Blood Red Sky has solidified the streaming service as a good place to make high concept and experimental horror. Surprisingly human for a movie where the main character is a vampire, the story is about how far a mother will go to protect her son while doing everything she can to hide her true form from him. Peri Baumeister is amazing as Nadja in The Last Kingdom, and Graham McTavish, who voiced Dracula in Castlevania, now has another vampire movie to his name.
