Starring Aaron Paul, Kate Winslet, Woody Harrelson and many others in the crime thriller about a gang plotting the murder of a cop in order to pull of a heist. This one’s gruesome.
14. Exposed (Drama)

Although there has been quite a buzz internationally regarding the movie make of the popular video game, Warcraft, there has been very little talk over here. Warcraft is going to be one epic movie.
This is going to be a good year.
