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.
