New film by Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of Drive.
The trailer paints an impressive picture:
Julian runs a kickboxing venue in Bangkok that is a front for his drug smuggling operation. He runs it in conjunction with his older brother Billy. Billy kills a teenage hooker. The hooker's father is brought by a creepy policeman to the hotel where it happened, and is told he can do whatever he wants to Billy. He beats Billy to death. The policeman then takes the father out to a secluded area and cuts one of his arms off. The policeman does this because the father is still responsible for what he did, and so that the father will keep a better watch on his other daughters.

Learn Several Japanese Subcultures In Kamikaze Girls
2004 girl power film by Tetsuya Nakashima - Kamikaze Girls.
Excuse the horribly dated trailer voice-over guy:
Momoko is a Lolita. That means she dresses like she is from 18th century France. Ichiko, later Ichigo, is a Yankii. That means she is the Japanese equivalent of white trash. They meet, and both being kind of strange, they form a bond and become friends.

Get the idea what you are in for?
Dom and buddies are all on the lam after pulling their big job in Rio. Everyone is enjoying riches and happiness. Except Han. Han is always sad. Hobbs (The Rock) is on the trail of a new group of car driving baddies, led by a former SAS man, Shaw. They are out of Hobbs' league. He needs the help of some professional drivers. Luckily he knows some, and has some leverage to get their help. For one, he can offer them all pardons so they can return to their homes. For two, Letty - Dom's long thought dead girlfriend - is alive and is running with Shaw's crew.

Who Pooped the Bed or How I Sat Through Pacific Rim
Guillermo Del Toro's latest offering.
Trailer below:
The trailer gives the setup fairly well. Giant monsters referred to as Kaiju are coming through a hole in the Pacific Ocean referred to as the Breach. The governments of the world work together to build a program to fight the Kaiju. The fighting is done in Yaegers (giant robots). Each Yaeger is piloted by two people, because the load of interfacing with the robot is too much for one person's brain to handle alone. When two people pilot a Yaeger they are connected through an interface called the Drift, which allows each pilot to be totally aware of everything in the other's mind.
