This week in theaters we have some controversial films. We have the controversially bad family adventure "Pan" which has been hit hard by critics whose inner child was destroyed upon seeing this movie. Then there's the controversial biopic "Steve Jobs", now in limited release, which apparently portrays the titular character in a less than flattering perspective. Also in limited release you can watch Keanu Reeves get tortured by two hot chicks in "Knock Knock", and get meta with 80s horror flicks in "The Final Girls". More about each movie after the jump.
Synopses, details, critical reception, trailers, clips and more after the jump.
