Den of Thieves (M)

While planning a bank heist, a thief gets trapped between two sets of criminals.

Why you should see it: This Gerard Butler-helmed action flick has plenty of energy, but it's unlikely to be remembered as one of the better heist films.

Jane (E)

Oscar-nominated director Brett Morgan uses a trove of never-before-seen footage to tell the story of Dr Jane Goodall's early explorations and research in Tanzania, focusing on her ground-breaking field work, her relationship with her cameraman and husband Hugo van Lawick, and the chimpanzees that were the subject of her study.

Why you should see it: If you were not already aware of her invaluable work, and even if you are, this documentary shines a new light on Dr Jane Goodall thanks to more than 100 hours of never-before-seen footage from the National Geographic archives.

I, Tonya (MA 15+)

Competitive ice skater Tonya Harding rises among the ranks at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, but her future in the sport is thrown into doubt when her ex-husband intervenes.

Why you should see it: Margot Robbie brings grace and strength to figure skating's biggest villain in her Oscar-worthy turn. Allison Janney nearly steals the show, though, as Tonya's mother LaVona. Read the review.

Sweet Country (MA 15+)

Inspired by real events, Sweet Country is a period western set in 1929 in the outback of the Northern Territory, Australia. When Aboriginal stockman Sam kills white station owner Harry March in self defence, Sam and his wife Lizzie go on the run. They are pursued across the outback, through glorious but harsh desert country.

Why you should see it: This is a harrowing film but an important one highlighting the injustices that took place on the outback frontier. The performances by the indigenous cast members, nearly all acting for the first time, are captivating. Read the review.
