Nicole Kidman in our pick for tonight - Destroyer
Predator 2 - ITV4 - 11.05pm
Danny Glover replaces Arnie in this action sci-fi sequel which moves the setting from a jungle to LA.
Hunter Killer - Channel 4 - 11.10pm
Gerard Butler leads the cast of this 2018 submarine thriller.
A Quiet Place - Film4 - 11.15pm
A mother (Emily Blunt) and father (John Krasinski) try to protect their children in a world full of killer monsters that cannot see but have an acute sense of hearing in this incredibly tense, smash-hit sci-fi horror.
Destroyer - TG4 - 11.30pm
Our pick for tonight focuses on LAPD detective Erin Bell (an unrecognisable Nicole Kidman in a Golden Globe-nominated performance) who, as a young cop, was placed undercover with a gang in the California desert with tragic results.
When the leader of that gang, Silas (Toby Kebbell), re-emerges many years later, Erin begins working her way through the gang's other remaining members in order to find him and seek revenge.
Directed by the great Karyn Kusama (Jennifer's Body, The Invitation, Yellowjackets), Destroyer was a box office disappointment upon release in 2018.
It's a great shame as the movie's gritty noir-like tone; its twisty and time-shuffling screenplay that blends a heist thriller with an undercover cop drama; and Kidman's hugely committed performance should have had a much bigger audience.
Float Like a Butterfly - RTÉ One - 11.45pm
This Irish drama about a young girl (Hazel Doupe) who dreams of becoming a boxer has an 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Rules Don't Apply - RTÉ2 - 11.50pm
