Marvel can’t let a week go by without at least two of its action films in theaters. As “Avengers: Infinity War” continues to draw crowds, along comes “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” pairing Paul Rudd with Evangeline Lilly as another superhero with the power to get pint-sized. It arrives just in time to replace “Black Panther,” now moved on to home viewing. Here are reviews of films now in theaters, from best to worst:
“Sicario: Day of the Soldado” ★★ The CIA operative (Josh Brolin) and the assassin (Benicio del Toro) from 2015’s “Sicario” team up to start a drug cartel war in this powerful and pulpy modern-day Western. It’s a brilliant, bloody, gritty, dark and sometimes fantastically over-the-top fable about the evil men (and women) will do in the name of political agendas, self-preservation and the quest for power.
“Sorry to Bother You” ★★★
Lakeith Stanfield knocks it out of the park as a black guy whose mastery of the “white voice” makes him a telemarketing superstar. Veering all over the place from social satire to screwball romance, the movie earns points for pushing the envelope, pushing the buttons on incendiary topics, and pushing the boundaries of conventional storytelling. (R, 105 min.) —Richard Roeper
