OPENING FRIDAY
DRIVE ANGRY IN 3D (R) Straight out of hell and raging with fury, a father chases after the men who killed his daughter and kidnapped his daughter. Vengeance is his.

HALL PASS 2 stars (R) Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis play suburban dads granted a week of no-strings-attached freedom from their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate). Writer/directors Bobby and Peter Farrelly get a few big laughs with gross-out slapstick, but mostly waste an intriguing polyamorous premise, while the lighting and make-up put the cast’s worst faces forward. Filmed in Atlanta, but set in Providence and Cape Cod.

THE HOUSEMAID (R) This stylish erotic thriller depicts a young woman who takes a job with a powerful family in Seoul and quickly discovers a tangle of secrets and lies.
