The term “dog days” is often associated with the month of August. People grow weary of the relentless summer heat and can’t wait for autumn. In past years, it also equates to bad movies being dumped into the least desirable month of the year.

This August might be different. For reasons I can’t quite figure out, next month is top-heavy with action thrillers featuring female leading characters. Based on the trailers, most of them look pretty good.
