An everyday man's is kidnapped to make amends for past wrongs he couldn't guess at.
I can see it was trying, but boy is it inconsistent action without real underlying substance.
A remake of Oldboy - (2003 movie)

Agencies the world 'round borrow from Nazi experiments to create limited super soldiers, and Steve Rogers Nick Gant is swept up into a conspiracy for American conscripts to free themselves.
Pretty straightforward and interesting; recommended. It unfortunately doesn't tie itself up neatly.

John Wick returns to alternately ruin and end his friends lives in the hopes of leveraging an obscure rule to free himself from .. whatever their assassins society is called.
It's adequate, but has nowhere near equality: I think one unimportant woman dies on-screen and then the body vanishes, another gets hurt, and this has to be the most brutally misandrist movie I've ever seen. Feminist approved!

A lawyer can't lie, and goes insane because it's Jim Carrey.
It's Jim Carrey as himself, so you have to cope with the idiocy. It's okay in that context but it's not for me.

A couple moves to a quiet and friendly town, but the wife, with no job and her kids grown up, has enough free time to be unhappy.
I didn't like it compared to The Stepford Wives - (1975 movie).
Based on The Stepford Wives - (1972 book), by Ira Levin
