Based on The New Yorker short story by George Saunders, Spiderhead is a genre-bending and darkly funny psychological thriller directed by Joseph Kosinski ( TRON: Legacy, Top Gun: Maverick) and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick ( Deadpool, Zombieland). But when two subjects, Jeff (Miles Teller) and Lizzy (Jurnee Smollett), form a connection, their path to redemption takes a twistier turn, as Abnesti’s experiments start to push the limits of free will altogether. At a loss for words? There’s a drug for that, too. Need to lighten up? There’s a drug for that. In Spiderhead, incarcerated volunteers are free to be themselves. There are no bars, no cells, or orange jumpsuits. In a state-of-the-art penitentiary run by brilliant visionary Steve Abnesti (Chris Hemsworth), inmates wear a surgically attached device that administers dosages of mind-altering drugs in exchange for commuted sentences. Okay, we’re here for Chris Hemsworth and Miles Teller. For us, we're loving this one for the Italian fashion montages and beautiful Roma scenery.

Lina, a 17-year-old American, finds herself having to travel to Rome to honour her mother's memory. Book fiends will know this one has been adapted from the Jane Austen novel. When Frederick Wentworth-the dashing one she let get away-crashes back into her life, Anne has to choose between putting the past behind her and pursuing true love. Living with her snobby family on the brink of bankruptcy, Anne Elliot (Dakota Johnson) is an "unconforming woman with modern sensibilities". Plucked from a federal penitentiary and recruited by his handler, Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton), Gentry was once a highly-skilled, Agency-sanctioned merchant of death.just your run-of-the-mill job, right? However, the tables turn and now Six is the target, hunted across the globe by Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), a former cohort at the CIA, who will stop at nothing to take him out. The Gray Man is CIA operative Court Gentry (Ryan Gosling), AKA Sierra Six.
