The Irishman
When truck driver andworld War II veteran Frank Sheeran
(De Niro) meets mobster Russell Bufalino (Pesci), his brutal background as a soldier and penchant for violence make him an ideal hire as one of the gangster’s goons. As decades pass, with multiple kills to account for and a promotion to hitman, Russell decides to use Frank’s value in another crucial task. At his recommendation, Frank is sent to work as the bodyguard of one of the most powerful men in organized crime in the country: union leader Jimmy Hoffa (Pacino). As his duties to Hoffa begin to bleed into his personal life — and while still secretly working for Bufalino — Sheeran’s entire world begins to waste away in the face of his immoral, criminal choices.

Ava
Ava (Chastain) is a high-ranking hitwoman with a problematic habit: she refuses to terminate her targets before they tell her why they think they deserve to die. This inability to perform her job without involving her conscience, in addition to her escalating substance abuse, leads her organization and colleagues — specifically fellow hitman Simon (Farrell) — to mark her as a liability. With only her mentor,
Duke (Malkovich), to account for as an ally, Ava decides to go rogue, knowing it’s only a matter of time before her superiors issue a global kill order against her. Director:tatetaylor.stars:jessicachastain,colinfarrell,geena Davis,johnmalkovich,common,jessweixler.2020.96 mins.action.
