A smashing sequel to the first Sonic the Hedgehog film that also brings back elements from the popular video game series.
The Cycle refuses to lean into the same old, same old monster-movie tropes and builds the entire premise around the intellect and the history of a capable, smart female protagonist.
Nick Rowland’s She Rides Shotgun is a blistering, blood-soaked road thriller that doubles as a bruised love story between a haunted ex-con (a career-best Taron Egerton) and the daughter he barely knows (astonishing newcomer Ana Sophia Heger).

It’s gritty, heartbreaking, and unforgettable—a father-daughter odyssey destined to leave audiences shaken.
