To do this, she seeks the help of lawyer Rita Mora Castro (Avatar and MCU star Zoe Saldana) in this musical crime drama that was nominated for thirteen Oscars.

It’ll round out nicely in theaters, then do well with VOD and home sales. This kind of success is exceedingly rare these days; even Liam Neeson actioners underperform after years of semi-reliability. So: what is it about Butler?

There is a scene somewhere in the middle of Pantera in which “Big Nick” O’Brien (Butler) and Donnie Wilson (O’Shea Jackson) are sitting outside a bar in the south of France, sipping beers on the come down from a night of hard-partying. Los Angeles cop Big Nick has both “gone gangster” and gone international, turning to a life of crime and following Donnie into a heist-laden world of intrigue. The two frenemies proceed to...

Angelina Jolie remains one of the biggest movie stars of her era, despite appearing less and less frequently on screen over the years, and it was in the '90s that she made it known not just how big of an icon she was, but how talented an actress as well.
