Movies Out This Weekend: 'Suburbicon,' 'Jigsaw,' 'Thank You For Your Service' And More

Just in time for Halloween, this weekend's movie lineup has a couple of films to get your heart racing. In "Suburbicon," Julianne Moore and Matt Damon team up in an attempt to murder a relative for insurance purposes. Meanwhile, fans of the "Saw" franchise can get excited about its latest installment, "Jigsaw," which picks up 10 years after the infamous serial killer has died.

Blake Lively also makes a splash as a blind woman who reevaluates the state of her marriage after regaining her sight in "All I See Is You," while Miles Teller stars as a war veteran coping with PTSD in "Thank You For Your Service."

Here's what to see and to skip this weekend.

Opening This Weekend

“Suburbicon” — Julianne Moore, Matt Damon, Oscar Isaac, directed by George Clooney

George Clooney’s latest is a twisted tale of domestic wickedness in a seemingly perfect 1950s suburb called Suburbicon. But things around town are not as perfect as they seem. Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon) and his wife’s twin sister (Julianne Moore) hatch a plan to stage a home invasion, get rid of his wife and collect the insurance money.

Sounds simple enough for a family murder insurance scam, right? Wrong. Lodge's plans quickly get foiled once insurance investigator Cooper (Oscar Isaac) enters the picture. The movie is visually engaging, and the performances are splendid. However, the storyline is rather muddled up with too many subplots.

Skip it. The movie tries too hard to be funny and clever.

“Thank You for Your Service”— Miles Teller, Haley Bennett, directed by Jason Hall

Based on David Finkel’s 2013 non-fiction book of the same name, this biopic offers a deeper understanding of the pain and suffering that U.S. soldiers endure after returning from war. Miles Teller stars as Sgt. Adam Schumann, who returns home to his wife (Haley Bennett) after serving in Iraq. Though seemingly unscathed, Schumann is suffering deep down inside from the emotional wounds and scars of war. Notwithstanding some of its melodramatic moments, Jason Hall’s directorial debut is an honest, chilling portrait of PTSD in military veterans.

See it. But don’t expect a war movie that will have you on the edge of your seat.

“All I See Is You” — Blake Lively, Jason Clarke, directed by Marc Foster

From “World War Z” director Marc Foster comes this psycho-drama about a blind woman (Blake Lively) whose passionate relationship with her husband (Jason Clarke) is upended when she regains her vision. As her story unfolds, she begins to realize the disturbing truth about her life and marriage. In the beginning, Foster stylishly piques our interest through a kaleidoscope of explosive colors. But halfway through the movie, the fascination fades as the narrative begins to meander.

Skip it. By the end, the movie’s run time (110 min) feels too long.

“Jigsaw” — Matt Passmore, Tobin Bell, Laura Vandervoort, directed by Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig

Fans of the “Saw” franchise will once again feel shiver-inducing elements in its latest entry, which picks up 10 years after the Jigsaw killer (Tobin Bell) dies of cancer. In this film, the cops are totally bewildered by a series of Jigsaw-like murders and cannot figure out who's behind the killings, since Jigsaw has been dead for more than a decade. Is there a copycat, or is he back from the dead?

See it. Only if you’re a gore-happy fan.
