Possessor (2020)

 

An agent works for a secretive organization that uses brain-implant technology to inhabit other people's bodies - ultimately driving them to commit assassinations for high-paying clients. 

Off-kilter science fiction thriller with strong horror elements makes the best of its far-fetched premise to create some stunning visuals, gloomy atmosphere and a highly complex, perplexing twist ending.

Ca$h (2010)

A man meets up with two "good guys" to recover what is unlawfully his, taking them on his whirlwind ride, doing things they never would have imagined, just to survive.

OK thriller with an original plot idea and a touch for satire works only partially and is somewhat undecided where it wants to go.

Silent Hill (2006)

A woman goes in search for her daughter, within the confines of a strange, desolate town called Silent Hill.

Based on a computer game this is an atmospheric horror show without a coherent plot and prefers to follow the logic of a nightmare. Once you can accept that premise it is quite effective.

On second viewing: I'd say the same thing again; visually it's quite mesmerizing.

Maltin*1/2: "Don't check this movie for parenting tips...Another video game becomes a hokey excuse for a two-hour-plus horror movie. Dialogue is so laughable it might be advisable to watch SILENT HILL with the sound turned off."

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.

Jupiter Ascending (2015)

A young woman discovers her destiny as an heiress of intergalactic nobility and must fight to protect the inhabitants of Earth from an ancient and destructive industry.

Visually overabundant sci-fi fantasy that is a complete and thorougly risible mess in all other departments.
