Aleshea Harris's play-to-screen debut is a 97% Certified Fresh knockout — Kara Young and Mallori Johnson anchor a revenge fable that Empire and Variety both placed among 2026's essential theatricals, balancing blistering wit with genuine grief.
Twin sisters Racine and Anaia — scarred as children by a fire their father set — receive a letter from their dying mother ordering them to kill the man who disfigured them. Aleshea Harris adapts her own award-winning play into a Southern Gothic revenge road trip where Kara Young and Mallori Johnson chase Sterling K. Brown's father figure across a charged American landscape, colliding with Janelle Monáe and Vivica A. Fox as scripture, rage, and dark comedy rewrite the rules of who gets to deliver justice.
Kenji Tanigaki's lean Japanese actioner hit 93% critics and 88% audiences — Xie Miao and Joe Taslim anchor the midyear martial-arts surprise that puts Hollywood chase films to shame.
Kenji Tanigaki's lean Japanese actioner follows a retired enforcer pulled back into the underworld when a young courier he once protected is marked for death over a stolen ledger. Xie Miao and Joe Taslim sprint through neon districts, parking garages, and bathhouses in a single night of hand-to-hand combat staged with clarity and moral weight. Tanigaki treats each fight as accounting — debts paid in bruises — and keeps the 100-minute runtime free of CGI bloat. Variety and Collider both flagged the film as the midyear martial-arts surprise that puts Hollywood chase films to shame.
