Known for his previous work in gritty thrillers, director Jeremy Saulnier masterfully weaves an intense narrative filled with pulse-pounding action sequences and complex characters.

4. Kill (Disney+ Hotstar)

Genre: Action, Thriller

Starring: Lakshya, Tanya Maniktala

If action thrillers are more your style, Kill on Disney+ Hotstar should be on your watchlist this week. The story follows army commander Amrit Rathod, portrayed by Lakshya, who boards a train to New Delhi with a singular mission: to stop his love interest Tulika's (played by Tanya Maniktala) arranged marriage. However, the journey quickly turns perilous when Tulika is kidnapped by a ruthless gang.

 

What sets Kill apart is its relentless pace and high-tension action scenes that unfold in the claustrophobic environment of a moving train. The combination of romance, danger, and action makes for a thrilling ride from start to finish. Lakshya’s powerful performance as a soldier determined to protect his love adds emotional weight to the film, making Kill an action-packed yet heartfelt watch.

 

 

 

5. In the Land of Saints and Sinners (Lionsgate Play)

Genre: Crime, Drama

Starring: Liam Neeson, Jack Gleeson, Kerry Condon

Director: Robert Lorenz

 

 

Fans of crime dramas will want to catch In the Land of Saints and Sinners on Lionsgate Play. Starring Liam Neeson in yet another action-filled role, the film takes place in a tranquil Irish coastal town where Neeson’s character, Finbar Murphy, is living out his days in peace. However, Murphy’s violent past comes back to haunt him when an old enemy resurfaces, threatening the fragile calm he has worked so hard to maintain.

 

The film’s scenic backdrop of rural Ireland contrasts with its dark, gritty storyline. Neeson, as always, brings a magnetic intensity to the role, while the supporting cast, including Jack Gleeson (of Game of Thrones fame) and Kerry Condon, deliver stellar performances. With its moody atmosphere and morally complex characters, In the Land of Saints and Sinners offers an engrossing crime drama experience.
