Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy close out October with seven reviews for you. Steve catches up on a film from Sundance (The Persian Version) while both look at the true story of a Bible thumper on the search for a lost civilization (The Mission). Emily Blunt and Chris Evans are on the selling side of the opioid crisis (Pain Hustlers) and Heather Graham is given the H.P. Lovecraft treatment (Suitable Flesh). The duo look at this year’s Palme d’Or winner (Anatomy of a Fall) as well as how this John Cena/Alison Brie action/comedy made it into theaters (Freelance). Finally, while it plays in both theaters and on the Peacock, a horror video game becomes a movie (Five Nights At Freddy’s) though that’s debatable.
