Netflix\u2019s latest original movie is a psychological thriller from Edward Berger, the filmmaker behind last year\u2019s Oscar-nominated \u201cConclave.\u201d That\u2019s quite an appealing pitch, so I was a little surprised to see this movie pull mostly lukewarm reviews during its limited theatrical release. Even with a more divisive reaction than I expected, I\u2019m confident this movie has a Netflix No. 1 in its future as the subscriber base gobbles up anything in the thriller genre.<\/p>\n

In \u201cBallad of a Small Player,\u201d Colin Farrell plays a high-stakes gambler who has pushed his luck a little too far. Hiding out in Macau to escape his past and mounting debts, he\u2019s offered an unlikely chance at redemption when a mysterious casino employee (Fala Chen) offers him a lifeline. However, hot on his heels is a private investigator (Tilda Swinton), who is committed to ensuring he can\u2019t outrun his past mistakes.<\/p>\n

Watch <\/strong>“Ballad of a Small Player” on Netflix<\/strong><\/a> from October 29<\/strong><\/p>\n

After exploring the horror genre in 2021\u2019s \u201cCandyman\u201d reboot and helming a Marvel blockbuster, director Nia DaCosta\u2019s next project is a little more intimate. \u201cHedda\u201d reunites DaCosta with Tessa Thompson, who starred in her debut feature \u201cLittle Woods,\u201d and is a modern spin on Henrik Ibsen\u2019s timeless play. It has already premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, where it was much praised, and currently holds a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Described as a \u201cprovocative\u201d reimagining of Ibsen\u2019s work, Thompson plays the eponymous role of Hedda Gabler, a woman aching over a past love and feeling suffocated by her present existence. Set over a single evening, \u201cHedda\u201d offers viewers an intense spiral of passion, drama and betrayal. The Prime Video original also stars Imogen Poots and Tom Bateman, and looks like it could cause quite a stir on the Amazon-owned platform.<\/p>\n

Watch <\/strong>“Hedda” on Prime Video<\/strong><\/a> from October 29<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cJurassic World Rebirth\u201d is the best \u201cJurassic\u201d movie in a decade. Granted, when the competition is \u201cFallen Kingdom\u201d and \u201cDominion,\u201d which are, in my opinion, two of the worst blockbusters of the last 10 years, that\u2019s hardly a strong endorsement. But at least \u201cRebirth\u201d represents a step in the right direction for a franchise that has so often struggled to recapture the magic of the original \u201cJurassic Park.\u201d Even though I admit, it\u2019s also pretty flawed.<\/p>\n

\u201cRebirth\u201d sees Scarlett Johansson play Zora Bennett, an ex-military special operative, who leads a team into one of the world\u2019s most dangerous places: A tropical island that served as the research facility for the original Jurassic Park. The mission tasks them with securing DNA samples from specific dinosaurs, but of course, the plan goes awry. Also starring Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey, it packs plenty of dino-themed fun, but the franchise\u2019s insistence on creating new mutated creatures frustrates. A T. Rex is enough!<\/p>\n

Watch <\/strong>“Jurassic World Rebirth” on Peacock<\/strong><\/a> from October 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Sorry, Baby\u2019 (HBO Max)<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Eva Victor\u2019s directorial debut arrives on HBO Max on Thursday, and it might just be the most critically acclaimed new movie you can stream this week. This comedy-drama holds a mighty impressive 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> and has been described by critics as \u201cutterly captivating,\u201d which is certainly enough to suggest it should be in your watchlist. Victor doesn\u2019t just direct \u201cSorry, Baby\u201d, but they also wrote the movie and star in the lead role, marking them as an emerging Hollywood talent to keep a close eye on.<\/p>\n

Agnes (Eva Victor) is a professor at an arts college in New England, living alone with her cat. While life goes on for those around her, Agnes\u2019 life has been radically changed by a past trauma. And the effects of that “bad thing” in her past continue to impact her outlook. When a close friend (Naomi Ackie) arrives with good news, Agnes begins to realize that she\u2019s been stuck in a rut for the last three years and needs to find a way to move forward.<\/p>\n

Watch <\/strong>“Sorry Baby” on HBO Max <\/strong><\/a>from October 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018The Cut\u2019 (Paramount Plus)<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Psychological thriller fans are eating good this week, not only do we have \u201cBallad of a Small Player\u201d on Netflix, but Paramount Plus is offering up \u201cThe Cut,\u201d which explores the mental toll of attempting to achieve a difficult goal. It stars Orlando Bloom as a boxer coming out of retirement for one last shot at glory, and to play the role, the actor reportedly lost 35 pounds. Let\u2019s hope this movie isn\u2019t as much of a flop as similarly-themed sports thriller \u201cHim,\u201d which was released in theatres earlier last month to pretty scathing reviews.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Cut\u201d sees a retired boxer (Bloom) step back into the ring for one last shot at winning a championship. With just six days to make weight for the bout, the fighter is willing to go to extreme lengths to make the grade. This puts him at the mercy of an infamous boxing coach whose unorthodox and demanding methods could drive him over the edge. Alongside Bloom, \u201cThe Cut\u201d features Caitr\u00edona Balfe, John Turturro, Gary Beadle and Clare Dunne.<\/p>\n

Watch <\/strong>“The Cut” on Paramount Plus<\/strong><\/a> from November 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
