September 2023 is bringing excitement back to the theaters with these must-see movies. With a ton of heavy-hitting actors and actresses gracing our screens, it’s time to get your popcorn ready and feast your eyes on this desirable lineup. Here are some can’t-miss movies coming out in September:
1) The Kill Room
Ever heard of the series Kill Bill? If you haven’t – you aren’t a movie buff, that’s for sure! Uma Thurman is known for starring in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill. There are two volumes total, all of which were bangers at the box office. So the irony of Thurman starring in yet another violent thriller with the word “kill” in it is not lost on us. This movie, The Kill Room, is unrelated to the Kill Bill series but will feature Thurman back in her element in this comedy crime thriller. The plot hones in on a money-laundering hitman, known as the Bagman, who uses an art gallery as his “front”.
This film intertwines nostalgia with a much-awaited pairing. The Kill Room will be the first movie that features both Uma Thurman and her daughter, Maya Hawke, whom Thurman shares with esteemed actor Ethan Hawke. Despite her parents’ larger than life careers, Maya Hawke is living in no shadow. The actress has been on fire the past couple years, mostly thanks to her notable role in the Netflix series Stranger Things. Alongside the anticipation of seeing the chemistry between this powerhouse mother-daughter duo, audiences get the sweet treat of seeing Thurman reunite with Oscar-winner Samuel L. Jackson on the big screen. The pair collaborated together on Kill Bill Vol. 2 as well as the cult classic, Pulp Fiction. Will this movie bring the same charisma and impact? Only one way to find out.
Release Date: September 29th, 2023

2) The Equalizer 3
It’s no secret The Equalizer (2014) was a smashing success. The movie’s sequel, The Equalizer 2 (2018) did not disappoint either. After much anticipation, it’s time to round out the film series this September with The Equalizer 3. Denzel Washington’s role as Robert McCall, an ex-government assassin, brings joy to all moviegoers as he serves up poetic justice throughout each action-riddled scene.
The plot of The Equalizer 3 takes us overseas to Southern Italy where McCall comfortably resides. That comfort is soon breached when he finds out his friends are under the control of local crime bosses. This doesn’t sit right with McCall, of course. So he takes matters into his own hands. One thing The Equalizer movies always delivers on is violence. You can expect this movie to be packed with action, violence, gore, light humor, and a couple of heartfelt moments sprinkled in to round out the film as simply irresistible. For any Denzel or Equalizer fans, this September 2023 movie cannot be missed.
