The Gorge

Elite US Army Sniper Levi (Miles Teller) is retired and unwilling to take on any assignments but is persuaded by a shadowy Intelligence Operative (Sigourney Weaver) that the one she has for him is of suitable import.

He is shipped to "The Gorge" a giant mist-filled crevasse. He must crew the western watchtower and maintain the significant automated defensive perimeter, alone for a whole year. He's not there to keep people out but to keep what's inside from getting out.

His opposite number in the east watchtower, Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy), is there to do the same on the behalf of Russia: this is some post-WWII Great Powers joint project that has survived the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union.

Communication across The Gorge is forbidden but as the months roll by boredom takes its toll and the pair start a weird long distance, drawn out flirtation.

No good will come of this.

CW: some body horror imagery

The Fall Guy

Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling) has it all: he's the stunt double for the world's greatest movie star Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and has a burgeoning relationship with camera operator Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt). Then a stunt goes wrong, he breaks his back and he's out.

Eighteen months later he reluctantly takes a call from Ryder's Producer (Hannah Waddingham) and she says the only thing that will get him back in the game...

Judy needs him or her first movie as Director is dead.

No good will come of this.

Hit Man

Gary (Glen Powell) is a Psychology lecturer who moonlights as a consultant to a Police Dept. team that picks up on people who try hire contract killers, gets them on surveillance to admit their plans and arrests them.

When the undercover Detective who poses as the titular Hit Man is suspended Gary steps in on short notice and finds he has a great talent for this.

One day he falls for a client, Madison (Adria Arjona).

No good will come of this.
