A
Films to Expect in October
October is approaching and new films will be on soon. Here are three breath-aking films which are highly recommended. See which will appeal to you best?
Rebecca
The most famous adaptation of Rebecca is the Oscar-winning Alfred Hitchcock classic starring Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine. How can Ben Wheatley's new version possibly compete? One answer is to have Kristin Scott Thomas as Mrs. Danvers, a stroke（中风）of casting genius which is enough to justify the film's existence. Another is going back to the book and trying to get closer to the actual story. You think you know it but you just don't.
On Netflix from 21 October
Possessor
Andrea Riseborough stars as an assassin（刺客）who can control other people's bodies and get them to do the killing for her. Her latest job is to kill an IT tycoon（Sean Bean）and his daughter（Tuppence Middleton）by possessing the daughter's future husband（ Christopher Abbott）. David Ehrlich of IndieWire claimed, "90 minutes of Andrea Riseborough and Chriustopher Abbott engaging in psychic（灵媒）warfare over control of the latter's body is more satisfying".
On 2 October in the U S. and 9 October in Canada
Honest Thief
Liam Neeson plays Tom, a retired bank robber who promises to return his ill-gotten gains in exchange for a reduced prison sentence so that he can settle down with the woman he loves（Kate Walsh）. But the two FBI agents（Jai Courtney and Anthony Ramos）assigned to fetch the money decide to steal it instead and frame Tom for murder. Unfortunately for them, he is a man with a very particular set of skills, so explosions, car chases, and shoot-outs all come.
On 14 October in France, 15 October in Portugal and 16 October in the U.S.
