Sharks in the middle of a hurricane? I’m buying a ticket every time. The movie knows exactly how ridiculous its premise is and has fun…

Whistle, 2025 – ★★★

Just turn your brain off and enjoy the ride. The story is paper-thin, but the pacing stays brisk and the set pieces are fun enough…

Total Recall, 2012 – ★
