THE ACCOUNTANT
Available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €3.99
The title might not sound like the most enthralling, but don’t be fooled; this one’s more about bone-crunching than number crunching! The story of a numbers guy who makes a living working for criminal organisations, it’s a high-stakes hunt packed with martial arts excellence – and it all adds up to one thrilling watch!
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD
Available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €3.99
This slice of post-apocalyptic awesomeness isn’t merely one of the best action flicks around; it’s frequently cited as one of the best movies of the past decade, full-stop. With Tom Hardy as the titular hero, it’s a work of punky western wonder with more depth than many delicate dramas – never has a journey with desert road warriors been as appealing!
AMERICAN MADE
Available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €2.99
Equal measures high-octane and hilarious, this action-comedy stars Tom Cruise as an airline pilot turned drug smuggler turned CIA informant – and if that sounds like an interesting combo, just wait until you see what else is in store! Slick, smart and superbly entertaining, it’s a fast-paced delight you’ll want to watch all over again!
JASON BOURNE
Available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €2.99
When it’s time for Matt Damon to hang up his acting boots, there’s one role he’ll be remembered for above all others – and this outing is fully deserving of getting the eponymous treatment! With pulsating action and a preposterously engrossing plot, the franchise once again delivers a sweat-soaked epic; don’t be surprised if you need a lie-down after!
KONG: SKULL ISLAND
Available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €3.99
Awe-inspiring effects, a star-studded cast, and a story that races along at a rate of knots, this lot sure ain’t monkeying around (sorry)! A monster of a movie that combines wartime spectacle and sci-fi fabulousness, going face-to-face with terrifying creatures really shouldn’t be this much fun!
RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
Available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €2.99
With the super Caesar leading the charge, this seminal series came swinging into the 21st century with guns ablazing! The CGI is stunning, but so too is a story with substance and characters more compelling than an awful lot of humans are! If it’s a departure from the norm you fancy, then this one is out of this world!
JARHEAD
Available to rent now on Virgin Movies from €2.99
A gripping Gulf War drama, this intense and impactful story features its share of explosive action – though it might be the performance of Jake Gyllenhaal that’s most eye-catching of all. It looks the part too, and delivers the sort of gut-punch that any war movie should; for something more than surface-level skirmishes, this one is a must-watch…
