New movies opening in Toronto

I Put a Hit on You

After her boyfriend rejects her inopportune marriage proposal, she drunkenly hires someone to kill him, as one does. A darkly eccentric Canadian rom-com stars Aaron Ashmore and Sara Canning as a couple in an unordinary, suspenseful situation. (Royal, NR)

Taken 3

If one was to be so foolish as to seize something from Liam Neeson's ruthlessly noble Taken character, he will find you – and leave you a manly, unambiguous phone message in response. With a plot that borrows from The Fugitive, the final instalment of the lucrative action-hero franchise and guilty pleasure has Neeson's ex-CIA killing machine attempting to clear his own name. (Wide release, 14A)

The World Made Straight

For blood, for money – for the love of the beard. Steve Earle, Noah Wyle, Jeremy Irvine, even Haley Joel Osment grow out their faces, grip firearms and offer southern-drawled heaviness in a drama about legacy violence in Appalachia. (Carlton, 14A)

Monk With a Camera

This is the story of Nicholas Vreeland, the photo-snapping son of an ambassador who gave up the Manhattan high life in the 1970s for a burgundy robe and a shaved head. In a rich documentary, Buddhist pursuits in America are explored. (Bloor Hot Docs, NR)
