NU METRO: What’s new at the movies?

Lives are on the line in an exciting thriller and a high-profile cast leads an acclaimed biopic – the two new movies opening at Nu Metro cinemas in Pretoria this week, while all the holiday blockbusters are also still at the top of the box office.

The Commuter (16 LV)

The Commuter (16 LV)

Showing at Nu Metro Menlyn Park and the all-luxury VIP cineplex at Woodlands.

Insurance salesman Michael, on his daily commute home, ends the day with anything but routine. After being contacted by a mysterious stranger, Michael is forced to uncover the identity of a hidden passenger on the train before the last stop. As he works against the clock to solve the puzzle, he realises a deadly plan is unfolding and that he’s unwittingly caught up in a criminal conspiracy – one that carries life-and-death stakes, both for him and for his fellow passengers. Liam Neeson fans can look forward to another top-notch thriller from this popular star – filled with high-stakes action, mystery, suspense and drama.

Molly’s game (16 DLV)

Showing at Nu Metro Menlyn Park only.

Molly’s Game is the true story of Molly Bloom, a beautiful, young Olympic-class skier who ran the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defence lawyer, Charlie Jaffey, who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led everyone to believe.

Starring Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba and Kevin Costner – this critically acclaimed film is based on the book Molly’s Game: From Hollywood’s Elite to Wall Street’s Billionaire Boys Club – My High-Stakes Adventure in the World of Underground Poker by Molly Bloom.
