‘The Bluff’
It’s very clear, by the way she wrecks a whole bunch of buccaneers, that Priyanka Chopra Jonas is firmly entrenched in her action-heroine era. In this action-packed and gory pirate tale, Ercell (Jones) is a Caribbean woman living in paradise until a ruthless captain (Karl Urban) she knows from way back shows up seeking gold and revenge.

‘Fackham Hall’
An “Airplane!” spin on “Downton Abbey” you didn’t know you needed. This hilariously daffy spoof follows the aristocratic but incestuous Davenport family in 1930s England as daughter Rose (Thomasin McKenzie) is torn between marrying cousin Archibald (Tom Felton) to save their home or being with pickpocket-turned-servant Eric (Ben Radcliffe).

‘Hamnet’
Prepare to be an emotional wreck by the end of Chloé Zhao’s heartfelt look at William Shakespeare’s family life.

‘In the Blink of an Eye’
Longtime Pixar director Andrew Stanton (“Finding Nemo,” “WALL-E”) turns to live-action with this ambitious sci-fi drama.

‘It Was Just an Accident’
Jafar Panahi’s thriller is an unforgettable juggling of serious moral questions and clever screwball comedy. A mechanic (Vahid Mobasseri) accidentally runs into and then kidnaps a man (Ebrahim Azizi) he believes was his torturer in an Iranian jail, then brings in other political prisoners to figure out what to do about him in a breathtaking modern fable.

‘Nuremberg’
Plenty crowd-pleasing while also relevant and moving, the historical thriller stars Russell Crowe as Adolf Hitler’s narcissistic right-hand man Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe). He and others in the Nazi high command are put on trial for war crimes, and Göring engages in mind games with Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek).

How do you follow being part of the biggest band in the world? Director Morgan Neville (“Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”) tackles the post-Beatles life of Paul McCartney.

The plan works until they accidentally heist a van full of coke and tick off a family of violent drug runners.

‘War Machine’
Ever wondered what it’d be like to cross “Full Metal Jacket” with a “Transformers” movie? “Reacher” main man Alan Ritchson stars as an Army combat engineer who enlists in a program to become a Ranger.
