The 355 is a star-studded spy action thriller, now available to watch on Sky Cinema. With such an impressive cast you’d be forgiven for expecting big things, but sadly the end result is a very lacklustre and forgettable affair.

Prey is the latest in a long line of Predator sequels, now available to watch on Disney+. With the action moving to 300 years before the original film, Prey has a lot to live up to and also a number of fairly horrific sequels to surpass. The end result is the best attempt we’ve seen
