The Mule (2018)

 

A ninety-year-old horticulturist and Korean War veteran turns drug mule for a Mexican cartel. 

Well-made rendition of a true crime story has its suspenseful moments, but is mainly told in an easy-going manner, suitable to the protagonist's and Eastwood's age. 

Fury (2014)

A grizzled tank commander makes tough decisions as he and his crew fight their way across Germany in April, 1945.

Although the horrors of war are depicted with more visceral detail and realism, well cast and with excellent cinematography, this is still an old-fashioned WWII war drama with a heroic ending.

Extinction (2018)

A father has a recurring dream of losing his family. His nightmare turns into reality when the planet is invaded by a force bent on destruction. Fighting for their lives, he comes to realize an unknown strength to keep them safe from harm.

Nicely made and suspenseful allien invasion thriller comes up with an unexpected, but a bit irritating twist in the final moments.

The Martian (2015)

During a manned mission to Mars, a astronaut is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew, but he has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet.

Highly entertaining sci-fi yarn which successfuly offers, suspenseful action, humour and some great  landscape photography of the planet.
