Written by the makers of Back to the Future and from the director of 48 Hrs and The Warriors, this movie needs more love.
Prime Video has just added 50 big movies to its library, but if you need more – here are the films on TV this Saturday evening:
The Italian Job – Film4 – 9pm
A fun American remake of the classic 1969 British heist film.

Bruce Willis returns in this terrific airport-set sequel to Die Hard.
The Talented Mr. Ripley – TG4 – 9.30pm

The book will also be getting a TV version soon on Netflix starring Andrew Scott.
Infinite – Channel 4 – 9.30pm
This 2021 sci-fi action flick starring Mark Wahlberg has a low 17% on Rotten Tomatoes, which means you may want to avoid it.

Piranha – Comedy Central – 10pm
The very fun and gory horror remake from 2010.

Three Faces – BBC Four – 10.40pm

Trespass – Legend – 11pm
Our pick for tonight is this 1992 action movie about two firefighters (played by Bill Paxton and William Sadler) who venture into gang-controlled territory to find gold that’s been hidden inside an abandoned building.
However, when the pair witness a murder, they become the targets of a crime lord (Ice-T) and his underling (Ice Cube).
Written and directed by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis (the Back to the Future trilogy) and directed by the great Walter Hill (48 Hrs, The Warriors), Trespass blends a great premise with dynamic filmmaking – resulting in a mean-and-lean action thriller.
Trespass is also available to rent on Apple TV+, Google Play and the Sky Store. Check out its trailer right here:
