1 hour ago Sharp Corner review – Ben Foster unravels in smart, darkly compelling thriller

Actor plays a father desperate to prove his worth in an entertainingly nasty look at dangers of entitled mediocrityStop me if you’ve heard this one before: happy family moves into dream home but discovers it’s actually a nightmare.It’s a setup so numbingly common that it’s started to border on parody.

More of the population would be forced into an ever-shrinking “humanitarian zone”, while Israel explores options for their permanent displacement from the strip altogether.While Israeli officials explain that the renewed onslaught would help to release hostages, it is abundantly clear that intensifying military operations would only put them at greater risk. Hostages’ families ha...
