This new action movie from Bad Robot and producer J.J. Abrams has received fairly mixed reviews thus far but there’s plenty of reasons to give it a try this weekend.
Here’s what you can expect from the new movie:
“A mysterious loner living a quiet life with her dog battles the elements and her own dark past when a neighbor’s little girl is kidnapped during a storm.”
Human Capital (2019)

Stranger Things star Maya Hawke is among the cast for this recently released independent movie released by Vertical Entertainment and DirecTV Cinema.
The movie first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and is about what happens when two families collide after their children begin a relationship that leads to a tragic accident.
At the time of release, FilmThreat praised the performances and director, while the Los Angeles Times ultimately concluded that various storylines were gripping but petered out.
Thai Cave Rescue (Limited Series)
Genre: Adventure, Drama, Thriller
Cast: Thaneth Warakulnukroh, Papangkorn Lerkchaleampote, Pratya Patong
Runtime: 60 mins
While Amazon recently covered this gripping real-world story, it couldn’t do so in the way that Netflix’s arguably more authentic version was able to.
How’s how Netflix describes the new six-episode miniseries:
“Inspired by the incredible true story of the Thai youth soccer team who got trapped in one of the most dangerous cave systems on Earth, and the extraordinary efforts by their families, the people of Thailand, and volunteers from all over the world, as they fight against both nature and time to save them.
From directors Baz Poonpiriya & Kevin Tancharoen, and writers Dana Ledoux Miller & Michael Russell Gunn and the team that brought you Crazy Rich Asians.”
