Tom Cruise puts a fun twist on his signature character type as a charmingly grimy CIA operative-turned-drug smuggler in this thrilling action-comedy adapted from the real-life exploits of renegade airline pilot (and bygone Narcos character) Barry Seal. Joining him is Domhnall Gleeson (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) as his handler, who is not quite aboveboard.

Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan

The follow-up to Egan's 2011 Pulitzer Prize-winning A Visit From the Goon Squad works as both a dizzying noir thriller and a moving portrait of wartime America. Egan laces sharp insights about gender and family into a mystery about a woman living in New York during World War II who's looking for her missing father.

After hearing accounts of visits from the recently deceased and the effects of a hidden voodoo doll, you may want to sleep with the lights on — or at least the flashlight on your phone.

Fifteen years after her last LP — and with a split from her former husband/producer, Mutt Lange, in the rearview — Twain returns with an album that doesn't skimp on her signature sass. She wrote every song, covering topics from taking chances to hope. That does impress us much.
