Action Picks

Mutiny is a lean 95-minute action-thriller: Jason Statham's Cole Reed witnesses his billionaire boss's murder, gets framed, and boards a cargo ship to hunt the killers, uncovering an international conspiracy. It's exactly the direct, high-stakes ride action fans want, and the confined ship setting keeps the pressure on. Statham does what Statham does — no surprises, but a satisfying big-screen payoff.

Tuner turns a gifted piano tuner's precision into an unexpected talent for cracking safes, and that heist hook is what earns it a spot. It leans crime-drama over pure adrenaline, so temper expectations on wall-to-wall action, but a 94% critics score plus Dustin Hoffman and Jean Reno backing Leo Woodall make it worth the ticket. Screening in English in Basel and reasonably available, so no rush — but it's a smart change of pace between the bigger swings.
