Michael Mann directs one of the greatest police thrillers in movie history. A slow-burn cat and mouse criminal chase masterpiece featuring memorable turns from movie legends Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Taking place in the aftermath of a truck robbery, an obsessive detective (Pacino) hunts down the crew of Neil McCauley (De Niro), a ruthless professional thief, through the Los Angeles labyrinth. Both men are battling their own domestic demons forcing them to take stock of their lives and despite being on opposite sides of the law, their lives have uncanny parallels. The battle between the men ramps up as McCauley’s crew embarks on a new heist. Mann’s tension-inducing reserved approach, the spectacular cinematography and incredible action scenes keeps the suspense levels high throughout.

K-POPS

Director: Anderson .Paak

Eight-time Grammy winner Anderson .Paak makes his film debut with the story of a washed-up drummer whose life turns around when he meets his teenage son for the first time. Paak himself plays the father BJ, who is still holding out in middle age for rock’n’roll stardom; his real-life son Soul Rasheed plays the fictional Tae Young, whose mother Yeji is Korean. When BJ gets an unexpected gig on a Korean talent show, he discovers Tae Young, a hotly-tipped contestant. Eager to make up for lost parenting time, BJ becomes the boy’s mentor – but the truth is that he needs help to grow up himself. Riffing off their real family relationships, .Paak’s comedy is an instant winner full of charm and K-Pop fandom.

TASTE THE REVOLUTION

Director: Daniel Klein

For nearly 25 years one of Oscar winner's Mahershala Ali's earliest, craziest and most brilliant performances has been hiding in a vault. Director Daniel Klein shot a film in the year 2000 about a group of revolutionaries putting on a world summit to counter political apathy and encourage America to stand up to capitalism but then world events got in the way and the film vanished. Now, after a call from Ali, who plays a revolutionary leader, the director has gone back over the footage and reimagined the film as a mockumentary about a documentary film crew trying to capture an event that they hope will be a modern-day Woodstock, but turns out to be more Fyre Festival.

6 AM

Director: Mehran Modiri

Sarah is leaving Teheran for three years to study for her doctorate in Canada. Her flight is at 6 am. After an emotionally fraught final dinner with her family, she heads to an impromptu farewell party at her friend Farida’s apartment, intending to go straight to the airport afterwards. That plan implodes, however, when the morality police swoop in. Drinks are emptied, musical instruments hidden and women put on their overcoats, while Sarah is seized with terror that they will all be arrested – and she, of course, will miss her plane. Mehran Modiri, Iran’s popular satirist, who also has a chilling cameo as a police hostage negotiator, proves here that he is just as at home with a nail-biting drama.
