Fun, violent sci-fi thriller in which a man finds himself under the control of a murderous AI.

Taking the coveted Friday night TG4 western slot is Quentin Tarantino's star-studded outlaw revenge tale. Arguably bottom-tier Tarantino, but still very entertaining.

Taking the coveted Late Late Show slot on Friday night is the deranged, beloved, not very good at all sorry Christmas ensemble that is Love Actually. Rejoice.
