HBO Max is going to war in September. Well, not really, but two of its most high-profile debuts this month involve going to battle.

The A24 movie Warfare features Charles Melton, Kit Connor and other up-and-comers as Navy SEALs stranded in combat somewhere in Iraq. In the original HBO series Task, Mark Ruffalo stars as an FBI agent hunting down a domestic terrorist in Philadelphia.

HBO Max isn’t all about intense violence this month. The black comedy Friendship with Paul Rudd should provide a few much-needed laughs, while older movies like The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Selena are sure to entertain.
