THE BROTHERS GRIMSBY Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen stars in his first lead role since 2012’s The Dictator, playing Nobby, an uncouth football hooligan bumming around his hometown of Grimsby in England. When Nobby discovers the location of his long-lost brother (Mark Strong), he sets off for London for the big reunion, only to find that his brother is an assassin in MI6. The unlikely duo must then team up to save the world. Rated R. 83 minutes. Regal Stadium 14; Violet Crown. (Not reviewed) RABIN, THE LAST DAY The presence of Yitzhak Rabin, the peace-seeking prime minister of Israel assassinated in 1995 by a Jewish religious zealot, hangs over this semi- documentary that revisits the atmosphere and the circumstances surrounding his murder. Filmmaker Amos Gitai veers uncomfortably between interviews, actual amateur footage of the killing and the political rally where it took place, and dramatic recreations that focus mainly on the commission of inquiry looking at the breakdown of security that gave the killer access to his victim. These are competent and well shot, but unconvincing. The film does little to build dramatic or emotional tension, but it does send a timely reminder of the terrible consequences of religious fanaticism, and the dangers of the forces that seek to promote ignorant, fear-based discord in any society.

The story doesn’t focus on a monster crashing through Manhattan, but something similarly disruptive: A woman (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) wakes up from a car accident in a cellar. The strange man with her (John Goodman) insists that an apocalyptic event has occurred outside, and that he is keeping her safe, but she’s not so sure. Rated PG-13. 105 minutes.
