Pacific Rim: Uprising
Competent but ultimately pointless sequel that never manages to justify its existence. The actors are game but the material is poor.

7 Days in Entebbe
A solid but forgettable drama of recent history with a few unexpected artistic flourishes.

Gringo
Aspires to be a multi-layered, madcap caper, but doesn't get even one layer right. There are many characters and twists in Gringo, but the script doesn't care enough about any one of them.
Blu-ray
The Belko Experiment
Perversely fun to watch but doesn't add up to much in the end. Could have used a rewrite or eight.
