Review: Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel create sparks in 'Shotgun Wedding'

Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel stare down a 'Shotgun Wedding' on Prime Video; Bob Odenkirk ponders a 'Life Upside Down'; a French diplomat's reputation is smeared in 'Kompromat.'

Salle shows how Mathieu must tap every resource he has to fight for his freedom.

In “Condor’s Nest,” Jacob Keohane plays Will Spalding, a World War II vet who has spent the decade since the war tracking the Nazi officer who cruelly exterminated Spalding’s bomber crew. In the process, he violently pushes away potential allies while striking deals with the morally shady, until finally he finds a secret Nazi stronghold in South America, which he tries to reach with the help of a Mossad agent and a fugitive German scientist .
