While Aman was running away, he was killed. so his mother, who is a nun, broke her covenant with God and sacrificed herself to save him, which in turn cursed him for life. The curse makes all the people killed by Aman come back to life, so all the gang members that Aman had killed returned as undead to seek revenge, except for Kansa's son who remained dead. The undead lose their skin after a week, so they remove the skins from the people they kill to use as replacements. The only way the undead can be killed is by destroying their brains.

Synopsis:
Episode 1 of Furies season 1 starts in Paris, 1999. A stylish opener introduces us to an assassin called The Fury, a woman who has her head deep in the crime game. It’s chaos as she fights her way down an underground passageway, firing bullets and killing her targets with ease.
Our story starts in the present, with Lyna flying close to the sun. Her partner, Elie, is a cop while her parents disapprove of this partnership given they’re both criminals. Things are going great though, and while Lyna looks set to celebrate her birthday, unbeknownst to her, this is about to be the worst birthday of her life.
When she leaves the house, Mr Laroche the banker rings and freezes her account. You see, Lyna’s father is the Parisian underworld’s accountant. He launders and redistributes money around and he’s an infamous figure in the game. For her birthday, he transfers over 2 million euros, hence why its caused alarm at the bank.
However, Lyna celebrates her birthday over with her parents at their house but just before blowing out the candle, a gunshot sounds and kills her father outright. Blood spills into the cake, while Lyna is thrown into the vault, forced to endure the grief and anguish from seeing her father killed.
Lyna ends up down at the station with the police, where she learns her mum is still alive. It’s a small bit of salvation, but it seems like The Fury was the one who killed her pa. Unfortunately, Lyna ends up behind bars for her efforts, and she struggles to hold her own against other inmates. However, that’s not for the want of trying to practice and get better.
Unfortunately, Lyna’s father’s death is pretty much swept under the rug. For many of the officers on the force, it’s a good thing given they no longer need to worry about his criminal activities. Lyna is on her own, and without retribution or a chance to get justice, she’s left to rot behind bars.
5 months later and she’s still behind bars. However, she has a bad temper and after being assaulted by one of the prison guards – the same one who sexually assaulted her months earlier – she smacks her upside the head with a metal tray. She’s sent to solitary but thanks to a book she’s found in the library, labelled Self-Defence, Lyna has now become a new woman and can more than hold her own.
Lyna eventually does go free but avoids any confrontations with Elie, who shows up with a big ol’ teddy bear. Instead, Lyna heads off to see her mum, who is in a wheelchair… and can’t remember who Lyna is. She has amnesia but this only drives Lyna forward. She’s determined to figure out who did this to her father – and why. First up, it’s time to follow the money.
It doesn’t take long for word to reach The Fury that Lyna is after her. She takes this intel in her stride and adds the surveillance shot to the rest of the pictures she has hung up on the wall. She promises her lackey, The Fixer, that she’s going to keep an eye on her.
As for Lyna, she recklessly ends up at a blackjack table, with the loser not just forced to lose their money…but also their hand too by smashing it with a hammer. There are six hammer cards in the deck and, worried she may face the worst, Lyna decides to hightail it away from the table after causing a distraction. However, the guy in charge, Orso, realizes that he actually lost the card game and ends up taking an interest in her.
Synopsis:
Married couple Nell and Simon host a yearly Christmas dinner at their country estate for their former school friends and their spouses. This Christmas is a special occasion with everyone dressing in formal wear and the children being allowed to swear. It is gradually revealed that because of an imminent environmental catastrophe in which a gigantic rolling poisonous gas cloud (which follows minutes after numerous smaller green tornadoes that are generally considered as heralds of the upcoming danger) is killing most life forms, the British government has issued suicide pills for a quick and easy death before the cloud hits Britain. The suicide pills were delivered to the entire population, except for the homeless and illegal migrants. Nell, Simon, and the rest of their friends have made a suicide pact to take the pills and give them to their children. However, while James agrees with his friends over the decision, his young wife Sophie has recently discovered she is pregnant and is still unsure whether to take the pill.
There are several confrontations during the night: Kitty is given a doll that resembles her, and she hugs her father, but refuses to hug Sandra even though she begs her to; Art finds the act of gift giving ridiculous, so he lashes out at the adults and runs from the room; Sandra tells James she had loved him when they were in school and wondered why they never had sex; Tony gets visibly upset at her admission and claims he has never made a mistake, at which point Bella says they once had sex before he got together with Sandra; Alex feels left out during the festivities, which causes her to drink too much and pass out in her bed.
Nell, Simon and their children video chat with Nell's mother, who is abroad, to say goodbye. She sees the gas coming, so hangs up and takes the pill. The conversation leaves their eldest, Art, distressed. He begins to speculate that the government and the scientists are wrong. Art approaches James and Sophie with his fears. Sophie then reveals to him that she is pregnant thus she does not want to take the pill. Art tells his parents he will not take the pill; this culminates in him running away after a discussion. Art soon discovers a family, including a baby, on the side of the road. They are dead, and there are several packs of the pill in the car. Shocked, Art begins to scream as the small green tornadoes twist around him; his screams allow Simon to find him and he carries him home.
After returning home, the group realizes it is past midnight and time to take their pills. They divide into their separate rooms to say goodbye. Art passes out and Nell holds him, while Simon gives his children the pills. The boys ask for drinks to take the pills, so Simon gets them fizzy drinks. Meanwhile, James pressures Sophie to take the pill saying he will not unless she does too, and they eventually take them. Bella attempts to wake Alex to take her pill and makes her take it while she is very drunk, but she wakes and vomits the pill. Bella tells her they have five minutes and while in the kitchen they dance and Bella uses the diversion to stab Alex. Both die soon after. Tony, Kitty and Sandra all lie in a bed to await death when Kitty remembers her doll and runs to get it while Sandra again begs her for a hug. When Kitty returns, she sees her parents are dead and she crawls between them, finally hugging Sandra. Nell notices that Art has bled through his eyes, nose, and ears. Frightened, the whole family rapidly take their pills, and lie next to Art.
The following morning, it is seen that everyone is dead. The final shot focuses on Art, who suddenly opens his eyes.

Synopsis: There are two heroes in the frustrating military actioner “Land of Bad,” and one of them’s more convincing than the other. During a hostage extraction mission gone bad, both heroes fight the kind of terrorists who behead a hostage in an establishing scene and then later philosophize about the real difference between us and them (it’s a doozy).
“Land of Bad” is most compelling when it sticks to hero #1, the capable but inexperienced Air Force Sergeant J.J. “Playboy” Kinney (Liam Hemsworth). Hemsworth’s a believable man of action, thanks in no small part to strong action choreography and filmmaking. His co-star, Russell Crowe, is no slouch either, even though it is harder to appreciate his performance given his irritating role as hero #2. Crowe plays Captain Eddie “Reaper” Grimm, the socially awkward, but professionally adept drone pilot who tries to guide Kinney away from terrorists and missiles, and then eventually towards rescue.
Crowe’s most endearing when he’s staring wide-eyed at mood-lit banks of computer monitors, relaying and extrapolating information with his supportive wing-lady, Staff Sergeant Nia Branson (Chika Ikogwe). Grimm’s a lot less charming when he’s mostly explicitly making the movie’s big bathetic point, all about the military’s failure to support capable, dedicated professionals like Grimm, who has to fight up-hill to be taken seriously. “Land of Bad” may sell itself as a post-“Black Hawk Down” rescue mission thriller, but it’s too often a baggy dramatized lecture about what’s really wrong with the American military and modern warfare.
As Kinney’s handler, Grimm guides Hemsworth’s overwhelmed, but capable soldier while he shoots, climbs, and wades through enemy territory in search of a high priority hostage. The prisoner in question is a CIA spy who’s been gathering intelligence on a dangerous Russian arms dealer. None of that matters once Kinney’s team engages with their bloodthirsty enemies, who, according to some introductory on-screen narration, are among “the most violent extremist groups in Southern Asia.”
The makers of “Land of Bad” mostly reduce their movie’s antagonists to generic obstacles for Kinney, except for a few key scenes that strain to establish why they’re actually the worst. These bad guys (briefly) revel in their psychopathy, torturing and executing their prisoners in a “Saw”-looking cave prison. “I look a man in the eye and I make my choice intimate,” one torture-prone terrorist boasts, moments after Kinney insists, “That’s not the conversation we should be having right now.”
So when is the right time? Maybe not in “Land of Bad,” where hero #1 rarely slows down long enough to explain himself while hero #2 should probably follow suit. Grimm’s a neurotic mess, an energy-drink fueled loner who takes great umbrage with snotty (and notably younger) Colonel Virgil Packett, played by Daniel MacPherson. Some pains are taken to humanize Grimm, mostly during for-the-cheap-seats comedic asides about how ignoble, but also down-to-earth he is.
Grimm’s particular about his work chair. He makes a big to do about Keurig-style coffee pods and is painfully sincere when he tells Branson that a wedding is, “probably the greatest social ritual that humanity has.” Grimm’s also the only one who can bring Kinney back safe, a rote characterization that’s mainly unbearable given how plodding and plentiful Grimm’s scenes are. Why is there so much of hero #2 in this movie, or really, why do we have to know so much about him in order for his rapport with hero #1 to matter?
Grimm accidentally puts his finger on why most of his scenes are so irritating, both as a dramatic break and defense of Kinney’s grisly and sometimes thrilling scenes. Speaking about his fourth wife, he tells Branson the old joke about how you can tell if someone’s a vegan. “They will tell you,” he laughs to himself.
Any “Land of Bad” scene where characters show you why they’re the best at what they do is usually enticing, at least compared when they desperately try to make you see pulpy cyphers as flesh-and-blood people. Director William Eubank already proved his technical finesse and solid understanding in earlier features, like the Kristen Stewart-led 2020 disaster adventure “Underwater.” So it’s not surprising to see that “Land of Bad”’s action scenes are eerily poised and even beautiful because they're dynamically lit and paced, and generally full-throated in their sensationalism. An airborne missile strike that takes out and ignites a hillside of militants (and their truck!) serves as a strong showcase for what Eubank’s latest has to offer.
In its faint defense, “Land of Bad” delivers simple pleasures, like when Milo Ventimiglia,
who’s also in this movie, shanks a terrorist in the neck with a broken
dinner plate. Eubank and his collaborators might have delivered a better
movie if they’d just made a high-toned programmer. As it is, “Land of
Bad” is a pandering drama with some action movie thrills.

When Air Force One Down begins, Allison Miles (Katherine McNamara, Assimilate, Shadowhunters) has already made a name for herself as one of the first female Marines to qualify for special operations. That has impressed Uncle Sam, both the US government and her actual Uncle Sam (Anthony Michael Hall, The Breakfast Club, Halloween Kills), to offer her a job with the Secret Service, something she’s happy to accept.
And she’s going to get thrown in the deep end at her new job as on her first day, one of the agents on the President’s detail calls in sick. He’s one of several federal employees to suddenly come down with a bad case of lead poisoning. Sam drafts her to replace him, working with him to protect President Edwards (Ian Bohen, Yellowstone, 5 Souls), whom she is not a fan of, on his trip to the fictional Eastern European nation of Astovia.
The problem is, General Rodinov (Rade Sherbedgia, X-Men: First Class, 5 Days of War) isn’t a fan of President Edwards or his own country’s leader President Hasak (Pavel Vladimirov, Sex Academy: Men, 211) either, and he plans to do something about it. That involves hijacking Air Force One, taking President Edwards hostage and forcing him to renege on an oil deal with Hasak which somehow will let Rodinov return to power.
If the plot sounds like writer Steven Paul (Never Too Young to Die, Vindicta) took the plot of Air Force One and mashed it up with White House Down, you’re not far from the truth. It’s also a plot that would seem to be a great fit for James Bamford, who worked as a stuntman in everything from Reign of Fire and Trick ‘r Treat to Maximum Conviction and Elysium before directing TV shows and making his feature film debut with Air Force One Down.
The problems with Air Force One Down aren’t due to an inexperienced director, however. It’s a plot that stretches credibility to the breaking point and a budget that can’t match the script’s ambitions. I know that governments are not always known for their efficiency, but are we really expected to believe that some wannabe warlord can infiltrate the US government to the extent he can place his men in the Secret Service and high enough in the Air Force to pilot Air Force One? Or that they don’t vet the journalists who are allowed to fly with the President? Or that it’s that easy to smuggle a gun on board?
Air Force One Down also asks us to believe that General Rodinov, who seems to be a dollar store version of Octopussy’s General Orlov, has technology that can not only take over the plane’s communications, but transmit a false radar image to hide what is happening. When we see his control centre, though, it’s what looks like a room in an abandoned factory with computers producing images that look like they came from thirty-year-old video games. Hardly the equipment for making beyond cutting edge technology.
A sub-plot concerning a traitor in the President’s staff seems to be there simply to stretch the script out to feature length. Their identity couldn’t be more obvious if it was tattooed on their forehead, and it adds little beyond a weak bit of gun play. Cutting this out and using the time for a couple more fights would have improved the film.
The biggest problem though is Paul’s decision to have Miles and the President exit the plane near the end of the first act. Not only does it look anything but heroic, once they realize her plan Rodinov’s men kill all the hostages, it ruins what little novelty the film had. Without Air Force One, Air Force One Down becomes another generic low budget action film with too little action and the usual bland forests and abandoned buildings serving as locations. At least this time, Bulgaria is being passed off as another Eastern European location, rather than badly imitating the United States.
The action scenes we do get are well choreographed, with Bamford and fight coordinator Pavel Avilov (Cossacks, The Pleasure Principle) doing their best to make McNamara look convincing taking out guys twice her size. Unfortunately, some extremely shaky camera work and obvious speeding up of the footage undermine the results. This is very noticeable in an extended video game style sequence near the end. By contrast, the only time somebody else gets to fight, a brief escape attempt by the President, is considerably less manipulated.
Air Force One Down could have been an enjoyable, if forgettable, Die Hard in the Sky outing and a decent way to pass an hour and a half. Instead, apart from a few fight scenes, it’s a mess on the level of DC Down rather than comparable to either of the films it wants to cash in on.

A young George Foreman lives in poverty in Houston, Texas with his siblings and his religious mother Nancy. Foreman, however, is riddled with anger issues and violent outbursts. As a young adult, Foreman barely evades arrest for mugging and decides to join the Job Corps as a last-ditch effort to turn his life around. There, he befriends his roommate Desmond Baker, however his violent outbursts nearly get him expelled. However, the Job Corps' chairman Doc Broadus, a boxing trainer, encourages Foreman to take up boxing and channel his rage into the sport instead of fighting.
Foreman proves to be gifted in the sport and after one year of boxing, he wins the gold medal for the United States against Jonas Čepulis at the 1968 Summer Olympics. He moves to Oakland, California to train, where former champions Dick Sadler and Archie Moore join his team as trainers, and he meets journalist Paula, whom he starts a relationship with and eventually marries. Doc, Paula and Desmond are by his side as Foreman's career flourishes, ultimately winning a fight against Joe Frazier in 1973 and becoming the heavyweight champion. Following his win, Foreman hires Desmond to handle his finances. Foreman's career enables him to live lavishly, however he regularly cheats on Paula with other women and he is dismissive over his mother's attribution of his successes as blessings from God.
Foreman is heavily taunted by Muhammad Ali, whom he fights at The Rumble in the Jungle in 1974, where he loses his belt due to Ali's rope-a-dope strategy. Foreman fires Sadler and Moore, and Paula divorces Foreman due to his infidelity. Following an embarrassing Foreman vs. Five match where he is further mocked by Ali, he is called to the hospital where his sister Mary's newborn baby is in poor health. Witnessing his family praying for the baby, Foreman goes outside and angrily prays to God for a sign, offering himself instead of the baby's life. The baby is miraculously saved, and Mary names her son after her brother.
After losing to Jimmy Young in 1977, Foreman suffers from a heatstroke and collapses from exhaustion, having near-death experience where he finds himself in a place of nothingness and says that he finally believes before waking up. He becomes a devout Christian and disavows boxing to become a full-time preacher, much to the delight of Nancy and the disappointment of Doc. He makes amends with Ali and Paula for his past behavior towards them. At church, he meets and pursues a relationship with fellow believer Mary Joan Martelly.
Years later, Foreman has married Mary Joan and started a family with her. He is a preacher at the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and opened a youth community center to help troubled youth. However, in 1985, he realizes the center is in danger of being closed down after finding out he is in debt due to Desmond mishandling his funds. Nancy tells him that despite losing everything, all he needs is already inside him, and he decides to forgive Desmond after confronting him.
Foreman's attempts capitalize on his earlier fame is not enough to save the center. He reluctantly decides to return to boxing to earn money, and with Mary Joan and Doc's encouragement, he trains to get back in shape and decides to start his career again from the bottom. Rejecting his prior rage for a more positive outlook, Foreman manages to win several fights and enters a match against Evander Holyfield. Although he loses to Holyfield, the payments from the fight - as well as a profitable deal involving grills - are enough to pay his debts and reopen the center. He works his way up to a match against reigning champion Michael Moorer, which he wins and regains his title as heavyweight champion of the world. Foreman reflects that he had to be knocked down to the bottom to realize everything he was searching for was already there.
An epilogue shares that Foreman had become close friends with Ali; Doc was inducted in the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 1998; and Foreman continues to preach at his church and run his youth center in Houston.

Synopsis:
In 1978 Italy, Vikramaditya aka Aditya is a young world-renowned astrologer. After having read the palm of the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and mentioned about The Emergency (India), he runs to Rome. Dubbed as the "Einstein of palmistry," he is a disciple of the saint Paramahamsa. Aditya does not believe in romantic relationships, but instantly falls for Dr. Prerana, a gorgeous and clumsy young doctor. They meet on a train but separate thereafter. One day, Vikramaditya reads the palm of Anand Rajput, an aspiring politician and businessman. When Aditya predicts that Rajput cannot be a politician, Rajput's men chase him which results in him having an accident. He is admitted into the hospital where Prerana works and is treated there. After recovering, Aditya proposes to Prerana to be in a flirtationship with him. Prerana, however feels insulted and leaves town but Aditya follows her all the way. She accepts his proposal and they begin to date. Prerana's uncle, Dean Chakravarthy, however, asks her not to develop any deep feelings toward Aditya.
When Aditya and Prerana are traveling on a train, a stranger requests him to read the palm of his daughter, Tara, an aspiring archer. He predicts that she does not have any future in sports, and she should instead focus on education. Amazed by Aditya's skill, everyone in the coach ask for predictions by showing their palm but Aditya hesitantly gets down along with Prerana. However, he realizes that everyone on the train is destined for immediate death. He chases the train to stop it but in vain. Later that evening, the train meets an accident, leading to several casualties. Prerana, who starts to believe in palmistry, asks Aditya to read her palm. He predicts that she would have a long life with a bright future but she faints immediately with a bleeding nose. Prerana is admitted to the hospital where her uncle, who is also a doctor, reveals that she is suffering from an incurable tumor and may die within months. Aditya disagrees since he predicted otherwise but is expelled from the hospital.
Prerana is now hopeful of her life. Her uncle, on the other hand, believes Aditya is a fraud and that only medicine can change her fate. He tests Aditya with five dead people's palms, and Aditya deduces all of them correctly. Her uncle changes his mind and trusts Aditya's prediction. When a cure for Prerana's disease is found, an elated Prerana proposes to Aditya. However, he rejects her by saying he cannot love her as he does not possess a "love line" and would be leaving the country soon. Dejected, Prerana attempts suicide but comes across Aditya's diary. She learns that Aditya was prepared to sacrifice his life to save her. Before leaving, Aditya takes Prerana to a ballroom dance as per her wish and the couple spends the night intimately. Prerana leaves a note in the diary that she'd choose to give up her life instead when such situation arises. She willingly meets a car accident and is admitted to the hospital.
Aditya, who is in London for his mother's dance show, reads Prerana's note in the diary. He calls the hospital and is shocked to know the condition of Prerana. He urges Prerana to live, promising to meet her soon. When Aditya is in a dilemma about his prediction, he comes across Tara who has lost her hand in the accident. She tells Aditya that since she does not have a palm now, she can write her destiny. Aditya, who is now in hurry to meet Prerana, boards a cargo ship to Italy which is captained by a person he met in the hospital. However, the ship is caught by a storm in the sea and everyone abandons the ship on the captain's orders. Aditya, however, is trapped on the ship alone. Overwhelmed by the force of nature, Aditya struggles to survive. He recalls his guru Paramahamsa's assertion that palmistry is only 99% accurate, and there are 1% of the people script their own destiny. Determined to survive, he uses all his strength to reach a high point and fires a flare gun. The captain returns with a lifeboat. The ship sinks but the drowned Aditya remains afloat. Later, Aditya arrives at the hospital and reunites with the recovered Prerana. Aditya proposes to Prerana and she accepts.
The film ends with Tara winning in paralympic archery and Aditya and Prerana's marriage.

Wallace coordinates a group of ex-special forces personnel, revealing to them that the Beekeepers are a highly skilled and dangerous clandestine organization tasked with protecting the United States, operating above and beyond governmental jurisdiction. To have a chance at stopping Clay, Wallace orders the group to secure the inside of the Nine Star Building, while the FBI places their own SWAT team around the perimeter. Danforth's decision to not evacuate the employees enables Clay to quickly defeat the FBI SWAT team and infiltrate the building, taking down the manager, who reveals to Clay and the FBI that Danforth is his boss.
Verona informs FBI Deputy Director Prigg that Danforth runs both companies, which several US government agencies use. Verona also brings up the point that not only will Clay attempt to kill Derek, but he may also kill Jessica, the president of the United States, due to her association with the scam. As Clay eludes capture, Wallace advises Derek to stay with his mother under Secret Service protection.
At the president's beachside mansion, Wallace hires a group of mercenaries, one of whom previously had an encounter with a Beekeeper and lost his leg. Clay infiltrates the mansion, while Jessica learns the truth from Prigg about Derek's exploitation of a CIA program during her presidential campaign. Jessica decides that when Clay approaches, she will tell him and the world the truth about Derek's use of the program. Enraged, Derek kills Prigg and takes his mother hostage. Clay fights his way to the president's office, killing the mercenaries in the process. Wallace talks to Clay to persuade him to turn away at the last moment but fails. Clay eventually reaches her office, being quickly joined by Verona, Matt, and the rest of the FBI agents.
Verona tries to dissuade Clay from killing Jessica and Derek. Derek attempts to kill his mother, but Clay kills him first and escapes through a nearby window and onto the beach. Despite Verona having a clear shot, she decides not to shoot Clay. He flees with the aid of the scuba gear he had hidden on the beach.
