'Nope' puts Jordan Peele's quirky spin on an alien-invasion thriller

Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” marked such a thrilling directing debut that the pretty-good things he’s done in the five years since, including “Us” and a full plate of TV shows, have felt somewhat less exciting by comparison. “Nope,” another monosyllabic title, initially seems destined to buck that trend, but turns out to be fun without sustaining its promise from start to finish.
