Mile 22

A new summertime thriller, we follow the story of an operative in one of the least understood units of the CIA (though it is highly regarded). With the help of his top-notch team, this agent must retrieve and transport an asset that holds life-threatening information to Mile 22 for extraction before the enemy closes in.

The Little Mermaid

This is not the Disney version of the film that most of you know. It is instead based on the Hans Christian Andersen original tale, which is just a tad darker. A reporter and his niece discover a magnificent creature in the water and come to believe it is a mermaid. Get ready to dive into something magical.

Billionaire Boys Club

Yes, on the surface this looks like a film about a bunch of jerky white men in nice suits. When you dig deeper you will find something based on the true story of a group of young men who are as charming and intelligent as they look, but after a get-rich-quick scheme goes horribly wrong, they have a bit of blood tarnishing their reputations.
