Black Adam

[Opens Oct. 21 in theaters.] The plot takes a backseat and awesome special effects dominate Jaume Collet-Serra's entertaining, convoluted, action-packed, frenetic paced, star-studded (Viola Davis, Henry Winkler, Jennifer Holland, Benjamin Patterson, and Stephan Jones), 124-minute thriller in which a godlike man (Dwayne Johnson) with super strength and powers in ancient Kahndaqs in 2600 BCE is released from his 5,000-year prison in modern day by a resistance fighter (Sarah Shahi), who has a precocious, skateboard-loving son (Jalon Christian), and takes on members of the Justice Society, including Dr. Fate (Pierce Brosnan), Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo), and Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell), and eventually joins forces to defeat a power-hungry, demon-possessed man (Marwan Kenzari).
