About this episode

Three new films hit cinemas this week, offering a mix of remakes, romance, and gritty drama. How to Make a Killing, a modern take on Kind Hearts and Coronets, falls flat despite strong performances.

Stay tapped into pop culture in two minutes or less, with entertainment and celebrity news today. Three new films hit cinemas this week, offering a mix of remakes, romance, and gritty drama. Hadamika Killing stars Glenn Powell as a scheming heir, bumping off relatives for a family fortune, loosely based on the 1949, classic Kind Hearts & Coronets. Reminders of him follows a young mom fighting to reconnect with her daughter after prison, while one last deal features Danny Dyer as a foul mouth. Soccer agent scrambling to save a big contract. Hadamika Killing shifts the story to modern America with a flashback from Death Row, but critics say it lacks the originals wit and... Inventiveness, despite strong turns from Powell and Martyr Quali, the script feels flat, leaving audiences with little tension or fun, even through its final twist. Reminders of him, adapted from a Colleen Hoover novel, dives into redemption and new love in a small Wyoming town. Viewers might find the characters too thin, and the score overly sappy, turning what could be a heartfelt weepie into something forgettable.

One last deal keeps things tense in a single location thriller, with Dyer shining as the hustling agent juggling calls, core drama, and blackmail. Over a few intense hours, it's no match for films like Locke, but Dyer delivers a standout performance full of energy. All three are worth checking out if they match your tastes, though reactions lean mixed overall. Meanwhile, side attractions like art history docs and wartime tales add variety to screens now.
