June Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss16 of 31
Spiderhead | Premieres on Netflix on Friday, June 17
Plot: In the near future, convicts are offered the chance to volunteer as medical subjects to shorten their sentence. One such subject for a new drug capable of generating feelings of love begins questioning the reality of his emotions.
Our Take: Based on George Saunders' short story "Escape From Spiderhead," this Netflix action-thriller with a sci-fi twist finds Miles Teller and Jurnee Smollett among a group of inmates at a high-tech penitentiary, which promises to shorten their sentence in exchange for a little drug-induced experimentation. Chris Hemsworth is the brains behind the strange operation, and we can't help but wonder if there are some sinister intentions at play in his mind-altering game. — Hannah
