Dystopia for real people

Greenland left me rattled. There is no access that the nondescript suburban family of John (Gerard Butler), Allison (Morena Baccarin) and kid Nathan have to privileged information or outlandish efforts to save the Earth. They simply protect their own, run from natural perils and predatory people, lose each other and find each other again... Scary detachments and psychotic people and a controlled rhythm of natural calamities that look unnervingly real. This movie will freak you out

War cures all

Lee (Kirsten Dunst), Joel (Wagner Moura) and understudy Jessie (Cailee Spaeny) are journalists in the dystopian wasteland that is the America wracked by Civil War. In a heavily armed conflict with innumerable casualties no one is quite sure of who they are fighting and why. In a Nightcrawler (Jake Gyllenhaal) - like sequence the journalist trip use any means necessary to get a money shot of the to be assassinated President. Lots of brooding and gunfire and food for thought

So you want to be a Sicario?

Alejandro (Benecio Del Toro) and Matt (Josh Brolin) work at getting Isabel Reyes (Isabela Merced) out of the ganglands and into witness protection in America. A different cast and script but the grittiness is intact. Welcome to the amoral world of human trafficking now complementing drug peddling, coupled with the pound for pound CIA, in Sicario 2 - Day of the Soldado
