in-theaters-ride-along-2-13-hours-norm-of-the-north-the-benefactor

This week in theaters the action comedy sequel "Ride Along 2" makes its debut while those looking for an adrenaline-fueled experience can check out Michael Bay's fact-based action drama "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi". For some family fun you could try (though I wouldn't recommend it) the animated feature "Norm of the North", a film that was once destined for a straight-to-DVD release, buy has somehow found its way into theaters. In limited release, the drama "The Benefactor" starring Richard Gere, Dakota Fanning and Theo James might just be the indie choice for you. More about each movie after the jump.

Synopses, details, critical reception, trailers, clips and more after the jump.
