The concept of renewing yourself on the weekends has fluctuated over time. Netflix and chill are now all that’s necessary. Despite the fact that some people prefer to spend their weekends in unusual ways, the majority of people prefer to do it by binge-watching television shows. If you fall into this category, this weekend, we’ve got a few highly thrilling movies for you to see. This weekend, check out these five exhilarating flicks.
1. Thirteen Lives
This biographical thriller about a survivor was made by Ron Howard, and it’s one of the few that’s getting good reviews. During a soccer team’s two-week siege of Tham Luang in 2018, the real-life incident that served as the basis for the movie happened. Along with a compelling storyline, the film has a stellar ensemble that includes Viggo Mortensen, Joel Edgerton, and Colin Farrell.
2. Purple Hearts
This is one you should see without a doubt if you’re in the mood for some romance. The story of Cassie (Sophia Carson), a singer-songwriter, and Luke (Nicholas Galitzine), a man, is told in the movie Purple Hearts, which is based on the same name as the book. Did you know that this movie has exceeded titles like The Gray Man and The Sea Beast in terms of audience and is currently one of the most-watched movies on Netflix?

3. The Gray Man
Now that The Gray Man has been discussed, we might as well bring it up again now. The Gray Man, a film by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, centers on Court Gentry (Ryan Gosling), a member of the CIA’s black ops team, as he flees from his old colleague Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans) to avoid being kidnapped or killed.
In essence, it represents Netflix’s effort to establish a James Bond-style brand on its own. The cast also features Julia Butters, Alfre Woodard, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Rege-Jean Page, Ryan Gosling, Wagner Moura, and Jessica Henwick.
4. Girl in the Picture
Girl in the Picture is the ideal choice for you if your job has left you feeling a little bored or if you’re sick of your boring life and want to spice it up a little. Girl in the Picture, a true crime documentary, explores the story of Sharon Marshall, a young girl who suffered from severe physical and sexual abuse at the hands of her father.
The investigation into Floyd, Marshall’s father’s misdeeds, began in 1990 when Marshall was discovered by the side of the road in a dreadful state. You won’t have to worry about disturbing imagery ruining your weekend, but if you’re seeking something lighter, this documentary will tax your head.

5. Our Father
Our Father is a good choice if you’re seeking something less somber yet with a crime theme. Our Father, a gruesome film about fertility specialist Dr. Donal Cline, who secretly impregnated his patients with his sperm, is directed by Lucie Jordan.
Several victims who have reared Cline’s children are included in the movie’s sequence of victim interviews. Although the facts and events are factual in their purest form, at some point one can compare it to tabloid sensationalism.
