If you loved The Sweeney, try American Hero

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Nick Love, and they sit in Action territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Sweeney, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What American Hero is

A reluctant telekinetic dad decides booze and bad decisions are easier than responsibility. After a near-death experience Melvin finally flexes his powers, teaming with his loyal if skeptical sidekick Lucille to tame a mean New Orleans street. So much for zero effort—parenthood—and heroism—actually require both.
