It reads more like a video game plot than a feature film, but we’re still gonna watch this Netflix original film about a mysterious and nearly invisible force that’s been killing civilians in a wartorn city, and the special ops and scientific operation to stop them. Drops 12/9/16.

Neill Blomkamp directed this action-packed adventure for BMW Films, starring Jon Bernthal as a mercenary, and Clive Owen as a skilled driver who must help a mysterious girl (Dakota Fanning) escape from a genetic lab. Naturally, their ride is the shiny new 2017 BMW 540i.
