Fast X | Sky Cinema and NOW
The Fast and Furious franchise is racing towards the finish line with only two movies left to go before fans will have to bid farewell to Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family, at least that's the plan. The first part of this final chapter is Fast X which was released in cinemas in May 2023 and will become available to Sky Cinema and NOW subscribers in January.
Fast X sees Dom and the family facing their deadliest enemy yet, Dante (Jason Momoa) who has been preparing to exact his revenge on them ever since the events of 2011's Fast Five.
Society of the Snow | Netflix
Netflix is releasing the harrowing Society of the Snow, which tells the true story behind the 1972 Andes plane crash that left those that survived fighting to stay alive until their rescue more than two months later. The drama has already gained a lot of critical acclaim and is Spain's entry for the Best Foreign Feature Film category at the Oscars.
Foe | Prime Video
Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal star in Foe, a drama that follows the repercussions couple Hen (Ronan) and Junior (Mescal) face when they let a stranger into their home. The film is one of the big releases set to land on Prime Video this month, and with its A-list cast it is sure to be a must watch for fans.
