Best New Movies and Shows on Netflix UK This Week

Day Shift (2022)

Director: JJ Perry
Cast: Jamie Foxx, Dave Franco, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Meagan Good, Karla Souza, Steve Howey

Jamie Foxx stars as a hard-working blue-collar dad in this new Netflix Original movie that debuts on Netflix globally today.

His character is a man who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted daughter, but his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real occupation. Hunting and killing vampires.

Peter Rabbit (2018)

Director: Will Gluck
Cast: James Corden, Domhnall Gleeson, Rose Byrne, Margot Robbie, Daisy Ridley, Elizabeth Debicki

Peter Rabbit, the animated movie from Sony Pictures, returned to Netflix UK this week.

Following the characters from the Beatrix Potter book this movie has been a hit on Netflix in various regions over the years.

Mountain Xpress reviewed the movie at the time of release and called the movie, “A breathless, dizzyingly joyous adventure that brings some seriously intelligent skill to these classic hare-brained characters.”

Wild Target (2010)

Director: Jonathan Lynn
Cast: Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint, Rupert Everett, Eileen Atkins, Martin Freeman

Based on a French movie, this movie released in cinemas 12 years ago but the chances are you missed it given it only managed to gross 3.5 million at the box office (on a budget of 8).

It’s got a huge cast and white it didn’t make waves with critics it does hold a pretty good score on IMDb (6.7 at the time of writing).

Here’s what you can expect:

“Unable to kill his latest target, veteran hit man Victor winds up hanging out with her and an unexpected sidekick who thinks Victor is a detective.”
