Need a movie this Wednesday evening? Well, here are the film options on TV tonight, starting with:
Bloodshot - Film4 - 9pm
Vin Diesel is the lead in this 2020 action sci-fi about a soldier who dies before being brought back to life with superpowers by an organisation that wants to use him as a weapon.

The feature-length film directing debut of acclaimed comedian Bo Burnham, Eighth Grade holds a near-perfect 99% Rotten Tomatoes score, with critics praising Fisher's naturalistic central performance and the comedy-drama's empathetic depiction of the struggles modern teenagers face.
