Action Picks

Mutiny is exactly what an action fan wants: Jason Statham as a framed man boarding a cargo ship on a one-man revenge crusade that cracks open an international conspiracy. Jean-François Richet directs tight and mean at 95 minutes, and the confined-ship setting keeps the momentum brutal and close-quarters. It's in English and gets solid screen time this week, though it's confined to a single venue — go while it's running.

The End of Oak Street drops a whole suburban street into somewhere unknown after a cosmic event, forcing the Platt family to survive an unrecognizable world. David Robert Mitchell directs, with Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor anchoring it, and the high-concept survival hook keeps the tension moving rather than sitting still. It's in English and well-stocked with screenings this week, so it's an easy second sci-fi hit after the blockbuster.
