New in theatres this week: In a weird coincidence, both of this week’s new releases involve people fighting to the death in front of surveillance cameras. In an even weirder coincidence, both of them are pretty great.

New in theatres this week: A reboot of a 1980s TV show squares off against an adaptation of a universally acclaimed literary memoir, and strangely, it's the 1980s reboot that proves to be the more artistically successful of the two.
