Part Lincoln Lawyer, part Requiem for a Dream, and part John Grisham thriller, this feature starring Chris Evans pulls together a very interesting, and rather urgent, health-care puzzle. Evans stars as a drug-addicted, but very smart, lawyer who finds himself spearheading a case about medical equipment. Specifically, this is a movie about safety needles, a type of syringe that could prevent all accidental sticks. When a young nurse ends up infected with HIV, her spiralling health problem prompts an investigation into why medical suppliers refuse to carry the life-saving technology. Evans plays the flawed lawyer pursuing justice in one of his best performances, but just about everyone in this modest movie delivers the goods, ensuring Puncture leaves a lasting mark. Special features include widescreen and digital transfer.

Despite plot similarities and an opening montage that features the original title script, this new Footloose from Hustle and Flow director Craig Brewer finds enough new moves to keep it interesting. Best of all, he casts real dancers in the lead roles, with Kenny Wormald and Julianne Hough two-stepping through the drama. The casting of real dancers is probably the film’s biggest strength, because it ensures the film finds authentic beats, despite its central, and somewhat insane, dilemma of “no dancing allowed.” When the leads show what they can do with their bodies, we feel the throbbing soul of the story, and how dancing can connect us to the divine. Special features include audio commentary with Brewer, Re-imagining Footloose, deleted scenes and more.

He’s practically a god to the rest of the world, but Ayrton Senna remains something of a cipher in North America. A Brazilian race-car driver who had the ability to win World Championship titles in near-miraculous fashion, Senna was accused of dangerous driving, reckless endangerment and all-around selfishness, as he rocketed around the Formula One circuit in the 1990s, but as this documentary about Senna makes abundantly clear, the man was largely misunderstood. Asif Kapadia’s documentary about Senna gets surprisingly deep, in addition to being very moving, because the director finds all the universal notes that make the champion entirely human. It’s the human story that pulls us in and straps us into the cockpit for the duration, as we watch one man become a martyr to his sport — not for ego’s sake, but because he sincerely believed in the purity of racing as his personal form of expression. Special features include additional footage.
