Killer Elite – ITV4 – 9pm
A solid Jason Statham action flick, with an elite supporting cast including Clive Owen and Robert De Niro.

The long-awaited, pretty disappointing sequel to the classic ’90s sci-fi blockbuster.
Charlotte Rampling in 45 Years, our TV movie pick for tonight
Acts of Vengeance – Legend – 10.50pm
Antonio Banderas plays a man who seeks vengeance after his wife and daughter are killed in this 2017 action thriller.
Bad Samaritan – Legend Xtra – 10.50pm
In this 2018 thriller, Robert Sheehan stars as a parking valet who burglarises the houses of the drivers he services, only to discover one of his rich customers (David Tennant) is a serial killer.
45 Years – Film4 – 11.20pm
Our pick for tonight is this 2015 drama about an elderly couple named Kate and Geoff (played by Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay) who are about to celebrate their 45th anniversary.
Their relationship is tested, however, after the body of Geoff’s girlfriend prior to Kate – who died after falling on a hike in Switzerland in the ’60s – is discovered frozen and preserved.
Written and directed by Andrew Haigh (who helmed this year’s acclaimed romantic drama All of Us Strangers), 45 Years’ powerful central performances (Rampling was Oscar nominated for her role), haunting portrayal of marital disquiet and stunning finale set to The Platters’ track ‘Smoke Gets in Your Eyes’ helped it earn a whopping 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
45 Years is also available to rent on Apple TV for just €1.99. Check out its trailer right here:
