Cliff Walkers (NR) This Chinese spy thriller by Zhang Yimou (
Hero) is about a group of agents (Qin Hailu, Yu Hewei, Zhang Yi, and Zhu Yawen) who return to their Japanese-occupied country in the 1930s to find that they’ve been betrayed by persons unknown. Also with Liu Haocun, Li Naiwen, and Ni Dahong. (Opens Friday at AMC Grapevine Mills)
Four Good Days (R) Rodrigo Garcia delivers yet another dull, earnest drama about white people living on the West Coast. Glenn Close stars as a mother who takes in her estranged, opioid-addicted daughter (Mila Kunis, looking emaciated with bleached-blonde hair and blackened teeth) to help her stay clean for four days prior to receiving a shot of naltrexone that will prevent her from getting high. The film doesn’t drag, but every argument in this movie feels like something you’ve heard from a thousand other movies about drug addiction.

BETTER DAYS (NR)
Chen Nian has been single-mindedly preparing for Chinaâs two-day national college entrance exam, which not only determines where and if she gets to study but also the fate of her entire family. Following the suicide of her classmate, Chen Nian suddenly finds herself the new target of her schoolâs biggest bully, its âqueen bee.â Fate brings her together with small-time criminal Xiao Bei. An unlikely friendship is formed, but before they can retreat into a world of their own, both are dragged into the middle of a murder investigation that will change their lives forever.
With the release of âThe Unholy,â itâs like January has come to April.
January is typically the time of year when studios like to dump their lousy horror movies that couldnât compete on Halloween. The film actually opened on Good Friday, no doubt intentionally so the marketing team could blasphemously brag that it was opening âon the holiest day of the year.â
The idea was to cause controversy, but nobody cared about this movie enough to fight over it one way or the other. If anything, the campaign backfired because made it seem like the film was outdated by the time people saw it.
