As we enter the final months of 2016, we're going to see a lot more prestige and Oscar season films on the way, like Queen of Katwe and American Honey.

There'll still be the usual mixture of animated and live-action films, with Storks, Trolls and Marvel's Doctor Strange all on the way on as well.

Take a look!

 

OCTOBER 7th

Blood Father

The Gibsonnaisance (that's what it's called) continues onward with Blood Father, an action thriller starring Mel Gibson, William H. Macy and Rogue One's Diego Luna. When an ex-con's daughter is hunted by drug dealers over a suspected robbery, the two try to reconnect and evade death squads set out to end them. Violent, blackly funny, Mel Gibson's return to the big screen reminds us what a good actor he is.

 

The Girl On The Train

Based on the novel by Paula Hawkins, Girl On The Train follows an alcoholic woman (Emily Blunt) who commutes to Manhattan every day and dreams of a life with a husband and a child in a perfect little house. However, it's soon revealed that she had a life not too dissimilar from her dreams, but let it all fall by the way side. Meanwhile, on her daily commute, she notices something that perhaps she shouldn't have seen. Dark, emotionally compelling and with a fantastic central performance by Blunt, Girl On The Train is one of the best thrillers of the year.

 

War On Everyone

Alexander Skarsgard and Michael Pena team up for this not-a-buddy-cop-comedy about two corrupt cops in New Mexico who come up with a plan to either control or blackmail every criminal in their city. However, when they encounter a particularly dangerous criminal, it looks like they may have gone too far. Written and directed by John Michael McDonagh - who previously made The Guard with Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle - War On Everyone's definitely one not to miss.

Inferno
