'The Assessment' Sci-Fi Trailer with Alicia Vikander & Elizabeth Olsen

The cast includes Minnie Driver, Indira Varma, Charlotte Ritchie, Nicholas Pinnock, Leah Harvey, and Anaya Thorley. I really loved this film, so much so that it ended up on my Top 10 of 2024 even though it's only getting actually released this March in theaters. Doesn't matter if you are a sci-fi fan or […]
