I would be more than happy to. Is there a particular movie or genre you have in mind?
user
I love movies that have a lot of action and crime, especially superhero movies or movies based on comics.

Okay, let's see. There is The Gentleman, a action crime movie directed by Guy Ritchie. 1917 is a box office smash action movie. Those don't really meet your criteria though. The only movie that fits all of you criteria is probably Birds of Prey, a comic style crime action. Would you like to know more about any of these movies?

Birds of Prey sounds cool. I would not be interested in the others. Can you tell me more?

This is a Joker-inspired crime/action movie and is a spin off of Batman. You might really like it.

There is just one cinema in your area, The Grand D'Iberville, playing that movie. It is Standard screen. Would that be okay?

That is a little too late for me.

That is the only option available for this movie so shall we look for something different?

I guess we can just book the 6 PM show if that is the only option.
