Blake Lively dons short black hair and a British accent in the revenge thriller The Rhythm Section, Russell Crowe is a terrifying road rage perpetrator in Unhinged, Amy Adams is an agoraphobe who witnesses a crime at her neighbor's house in The Woman in the Window, and Michael B. Jordan is a Navy SEAL out to avenge his wife's murder in Without Remorse. Plus, there's the latest mind-bender from Christopher Nolan, a horror thriller from some of the producers of Get Out and Us, a slick remake of the classic The Invisible Man, and more.
