Action Picks

The One Wish Willow premise sounds gimmicky but the film uses it to ratchet up tension fast — body-horror pacing crossed with a slasher's momentum. It does not waste time on setup, and the dark price of getting what you want keeps stakes climbing. Showing in 5 cinemas, it's the week's most accessible genre fix after Spider-Man.

A piano tuner who discovers he can crack safes is the kind of high-concept crime premise that works when a film commits to it — and Tuner does. Methodical escalation, a tight 108-minute runtime, and a satisfying payoff for fans of the ordinary-skill-meets-criminal-world subgenre. Screenings are limited to one cinema this week, so check times and book ahead.
