Ranking August 2016's Movies - From Worst To Best

9. Imperium

Suicide Squad Nine Lives Kubo And The Two Strings
Lionsgate Premiere

RottenTomatoes Score: 86% (7/10)

Box Office: No financial information is available, but with a straight-to-VOD release, there's likely little in the way of strong business here.

Verdict: Daniel Radcliffe continues to make smart and intriguing choices in his post-Potter career, aided by a sturdy debut from writer-director Daniel Ragussis.

As an American FBI agent going undercover as a white supremacist, Radcliffe couldn't be much further outside his comfort zone, and he totally delivers on that promise.

Most impressively is how the film asks some incredibly uncomfortable questions about both society and human nature, and though the ending doesn't quite live up to what came before, it's still on the whole a daring, well-executed crime drama. More of this diversity please, Daniel.
