THE CALL(13+) This thriller from director Brad Anderson follows a veteran 911 operator who receives a call from a girl who has just been kidnapped. She’s dragged into the drama when she must confront a killer from her past to save the girl’s life. It starts out strong, but quickly flames out in baffling twists and genre-worn clichés. 94 mins.

*FIGURE D’ARMEN (G) There is a weary dignity to Marlene Edoyan’s understated documentary on Armenia. The Montrealer travels back to her homeland to interview its people — a family living in a trailer, a farmer and his donkey, a group of widows. She emerges with no solutions, but many stories of struggle. 74 mins. TD ★★★ In Armenian with French subtitles Excentris Friday-Sunday 1, 7:20

Monday-Thursday 3:15, 6:30, 9:50 42 (G) While undeniably formulaic, this is, nonetheless, the rousing, inspirational and understandably earnest account of Jackie Robinson’s tumultuous journey to become the first African-American to cross the colour frontier into the lily-white realm of Major League Baseball. Chadwick Boseman as Robinson and Harrison Ford as crusty Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey - who paved the way for Robinson’s breakthrough – turn in stellar performances. Major bummer: Montreal’s role is overlooked. 128 mins. BB ★★★ ½

G.I. JOE: RETALIATION (13+) The real meat of this movie is the buddy stuff between Channing Tatum, and The Rock, as well as the inimitable smirk of Bruce Willis - three men who are so comfortable in their manhood, we never feel they have anything to prove - and that’s not only a huge relief, it’s

entertaining. 99 mins. KM ★ ½

OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN (13+) A ridiculous and pyrotechnic drama in which North Korean commandos take over the White House and kidnap the U.S. president, played by Aaron Eckhart. It’s up to a special agent (Gerard Butler) to reenact Die Hard to save the world. Mindless action has never been so mindless. 120 mins. JS ★★ ½

PINES (13+) Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes and Bradley Cooper star in this marginally melodramatic saga that follows the life of a motorbike stunt rider, and the debris trail he leaves behind. Though it’s too broad in scope, and too detailed in execution, Cianfrance still weaves gorgeous knots of cinematic moments to create a visually elegant, if emotionally soggy, spectacle. 140 mins.

Maggie Smith, Billy Connolly, Tom Courtenay and Pauline Collins play retired opera singers at a home for ex-musicians where ancient grudges and romances realign themselves in the shadow of death.
