Blu-Ray case for Captain America: Civil War

Captain America: Civil War (PG-13, 147 minutes) Don't fret about the running time; this action-packed, character driven and often funny Marvel adventure is worth your while. A newly revamped team of Avengers -- among them Captain America, Iron Man, Winter Soldier, Falcon, Black Widow and War Machine -- continue to take care of humanity, but arguments over how to deal with civilian casualties threaten to break up their unity. With Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Don Cheadle, Anthony Mackie; directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo.

The Measure of a Man (not rated, 91 minutes) A touching, realistic drama concerning a soul-numbing search for work by beaten-down, unemployed Thierry (Vincent Lindon), a former factory machine operator. His search leads him to a job as a security guard that demands he keep an eye not only on customers but fellow employees, resulting in unsettling moral dilemmas. With Yves Ory, Xavier Mathieu, Matthieu Schaller; directed by Stephane Brize. Subtitled.

Standing Tall (R, 120 minutes) Too self-important and clumsy to be interesting, Standing Tall is a social-realism saga of a rebellious abandoned young delinquent named Malony (Rod Paradot) whose dead-end existence turns a corner with a makeshift family made up of children's magistrate Florence (Catherine Deneuve), who's almost ready to retire, and Yann (Benoit Magimel), a caseworker whose childhood was hardly the stuff of fond memories. Directed by Emmanuelle Bercot. Subtitled.

The Fits (not rated, 72 minutes) A unique and assured adventure in magical realism in which unexplained periods of fainting plague an 11-year-old girl and fellow members of a flashy dance drill team at a neighborhood recreation center. With Royalty Hightower, Lauren Gibson, Alexis Neblett; directed by Anna Rose Holmer.

Marauders (R, 107 minutes) A down-and-dirty buddy-cop thriller with decent performances in which hardworking FBI agents bypass the obvious suspect in a bank robbery (the owner, played by Bruce Willis) in an attempt to unearth a larger conspiracy in play. With Christopher Meloni, Adrian Grenier, Dave Bautista, Lydia Hull; directed by Steven C. Miller.
