The trademarks of the genre – a slick ensemble (here led by Kevin Hart), impossible odds, and a deliciously evil target (ruthless banker Jorgensen, played by Jean Reno) – are all present but, as Hart tells GamesRadar+, there are a few more wildcards to help set it apart from its sticky-fingered peers.

The story of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 has been told on-screen before, most notably in Frank Marshall’s 1993 movie Alive. But J.A. Bayona’s Netflix movie Society of the Snow revisits it with a harrowing level of physical and psychological detail. Its complexities and moral dilemmas make it a far cry from Marshall’s feel-good story, and distance it from Hollywood disaster movies in general — including Bayona’s own saccharine 2012 tsunami drama The Impossible.

For years I’ve enjoyed one-off murder mysteries that friends recommended, but the genre hadn’t really gotten its hooks in me. I’ve simply never been the kind of reader who actively tries to solve the case. My friends who champion these books tend to care deeply about tracking red herrings and attempting to out-sleuth the author.
