"The Son" is buoyed by an effective turn from Hugh Jackman as a father who, in echoing the failures of his own father, effectively dooms his own son as well.

In "When You Finish Saving the World," Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard give solid performances, but are failed by Jesse Eisenberg's pat screenplay.

With "Sick," screenwriter Kevin Williamson and director John Hyams use the pandemic setting to create a tense, smart and relentless thriller.
