Den of Thieves – Out February 2 Action Starring: Gerard Butler 12 Strong – Out February 9 Action Starring: Chris Hemsworth Den of Thieves is a gritty Los Angeles crime saga which follows the intersecting and often personally connected lives of an elite unit of the LA County Sheriff’s Dept. and the state’s most successful bank robbery crew as the outlaws plan a seemingly impossible heist on the Federal Reserve Bank of downtown Los Angeles. Every day, $120 million in cash is taken out of circulation and destroyed by the Los Angeles Branch of the Federal Reserve – unless a notorious, elite crew of bank robbers can pull off the ultimate heist and get to the money first... right under the noses of LAs law enforcement. 12 Strong is set in the harrowing days following 9/11 when a U.S. Special Forces team, led by their new Captain, Mitch Nelson, is chosen to be the first U.S. troops sent into Afghanistan for an extremely dangerous mission. There, in the rugged mountains, they must convince Northern Alliance General Dostum to join forces with them to fight their common adversary: the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies. In addition to overcoming mutual distrust and a vast cultural divide, the Americans – accustomed to state-of-the-art warfare – must adopt the rudimentary tactics of the Afghani horse soldiers. Tad The Last Explorer – Out February 9 Animation Starring: Óscar Barberán I, Tonya – Out February 16 Drama Starring: Margot Robbie Tad Jones, the most awkward explorer in the world, travels to the bright lights of Las Vegas to attend archaeologist Sara Lavroff’s presentation of her latest discovery – the papyrus that show the existence of the Necklace of Midas, the mythical King who turned everything he touched into gold. But this happy reunion will be clouded when an evil rich millionaire kidnaps Sara in order to find the talisman and get infinite wealth. Along with his friends, Tad will have to use all his wit to rescue Sara on a trip around the world, where he will meet new friends… and new villains! Based on the unbelievable but true events, I, Tonya is a darkly comedic tale of American figure skater, Tonya Harding, and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy was forever defined by her association with an infamous, ill-conceived, and even more poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. I, Tonya is an absurd, irreverent, and piercing portrayal of Harding”s life and career in all of its unchecked – and checkered – glory.
