Rolling back the years a little bit, we’ll find this crime-thriller on HBO that you might have missed. Sexy Beast stars Ben Kingsley as the brutal gangster Don Logan when he recruits retired thug Gal for one last job. It proves to be easier said than done, but one thing is assured, violence.

Both entertaining and very interesting, this movie is one of the best to watch on HBO.
The Tale (2018, IMDb M: 7.1 F: 7.5)
The Tale was an instant hit with the critics back in 2018, maybe because of Laura Dern's performance or the gripping story. Nevertheless, this is a distressing story filled with emotions and heartbreaking moments. When a woman filming a documentary on childhood rape vicitims starts to question her own childhood, she embarks on a terrifying journey discovering what really happened to her 30 years ago.
