This week in Spotlight, we feature the latest big-screen releases, a local star-studded film on the small screen, and what to look forward to later this year.

Ben Affleck stars as a detective searching for his missing daughter who finds himself on a mind-bending journey involving bank heists and secret government agencies. Co-starring Alice Braga, William Fichtner and JD Pardo.
