Mission: Unaccountable

Chris Klimek is a film critic in Washington. You don't often see this in movies, but most spies have to be boring to be good at their jobs. In the 2006 J.J. Abrams-directed 'Mission: Impossible III,' Tom Cruise's alter ego, superspy Ethan Hunt, has retired from mask-pulls and gymnastic infiltrations. Yet his job remains so black bag that even his beautiful physician fiancée thinks he's a desk jockey for the Virginia Transportation Department. In an early party scene, he gives us a brief soliloquy, delivered with Cruise's patented help-me-help-you rectitude, about traffic patterns: 'It's amazing. It's like a living organism.'

'Duster': When to Watch Episode 3 of the Retro Grindhouse Series

Duster is an action-filled drama set in the early '70s in Arizona. In it, Jim Ellis (played by Josh Holloway), a rough-and-tumble driver for a growing crime syndicate, unexpectedly partners up with a tenacious FBI newbie named Nina (Rachel Hilson) -- a woman dead-set on bringing said crime family to justice. J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan created this high-octane thrill ride, which has become the perfect vehicle for Holloway to settle into. After all, who doesn't want to see Lost's Sawyer skirt the law and race around in a sweet car? Rounding out the cast are Keith David (as crime boss Ezra Saxton), Sydney Elisabeth (as Genesis), Greg Grunberg (as FBI boss Abbott), Camille Guaty (as Jim's ex, Izzy), Asivak Koostachin (as Awan), Adriana Aluna Martinez (as Luna) and Benjamin Charles Watson (as Royce).

See at Max How to watch 'Duster' with a VPN If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with your favorite shows while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial.

Bono, 65, Drops Cryptic Tease About U2's Next Move

U2 fans will have to wait a little longer for the reported Netflix film about the band. Frontman Bono was asked for an update and whether there was any progress he could share, to which he told the Hollywood Reporter, "No." The Ireland native, 65, continued, "We'll know it when it's right. We'll know it when it's ready. The U2 story is a bizarre one. It's a high school drama, really, slash Stranger Things. [Stories of Surrender] is the end of a four-year process of addressing the past, lifting stones, discovering a few creepy-crawlies underneath them, dealing with them, and now we move on [with new music]. I hope that whatever I've uncovered in my own little opera, if it's of use to people, then I'm thrilled." Deadline reported in March 2022 that a Netflix movie was in development with famed producer J.J. Abrams and screenwriter Anthony McCarten, the latter of whom wrote the Oscar-winning music biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. U2 formed in Dublin back in 1976 with Bono on vocals, The Edge on guitar and keyboards, Adam Clayton on bass, and Larry Mullen Jr. on drums. The band has released 14 albums with hits like "With or Without You," "Sunday Bloody Sunday," and "Beautiful Day." They have also won 22 Grammys – more than any other band in history – and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
