Kingsley Ben-Adir as Bob Marley, a young man caught in a cycle of abuse, and other titles to watch

ATLAS

Scientist Atlas Shepherd (Jennifer Lopez) is sent to capture a renegade robot in this sci-fi film. She must put her mistrust of Artificial Intelligence aside when things don’t go according to plan. Directed by Brad Peyton (San Andreas) and co-starring Sterling K. Brown, Mark Strong and Simu Liu. (Netflix)

BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE

By the mid-1970s, Bob Marley is the king of reggae music and a mass hero in a country weighed down by poverty and violence. With Jamaica gearing up for a divisive election, he announces a peace concert, but is sent reeling after gunmen try to kill him. Marley decamps to England with his entourage. This film by Reinaldo Marcus Green—and script by Terence Winter, Frank E. Flowers, Zach Baylin and Green—is a touch too reverent but has a pleasing lead turn by British actor Kingsley Ben-Adir (Peaky Blinders, High Fidelity). Marley’s wife Rita, a backup singer, is played as a teen by Nia Ashi, and in adulthood by Lashana Lynch. Other co-stars include James Norton, Tosin Cole, and Umi Myers. (BookMyShow Stream)
