5. The Gray Man

Film, Action, Adventure, Thriller

A convict is approached in prison by a member of a secret vigilante agency.

“Do our dirty work, and you’ll walk free”. A tempting offer. In fact, so tempting he can’t refuse it.

And so CR ‘6’ is born. But when an important ‘hit’ goes wrong, a bounty is put on 6’s head, attracting the most skilled assassins in the game to take him out.

This film is packed with excitement, adventure, and really fast cars. Ryan Gosling radiates charm and charisma, and Chris Evans as the loose canon hit man gives us a performance far from his Captain America days.

A perfect watch for anyone who loves action, intrigue and a really well-fitting suit.

4. Girl in the Picture

Documentary, True Crime, Mystery

In the middle of the night just outside Oklahoma City in April 1990, two men in a truck find the body of a young blonde woman on the side of the road.

The two men take the woman to their nearest hospital where she is identified as Tonya Hughes. But… who is Tonya Hughes, and what happened to her?

This is easily one of the most chilling, twisted and fascinating documentaries Netflix has to offer.

Exploring Tonya’s tragic life and the lies that lead to her untimely demise, this documentary is packed with explosive interviews, unbelievable revelations and heart-breaking consequences.

Playing at 1 hour 40 minutes, this story will leave you suitably rattled. No spoilers, but if you’ve got a strong stomach, a keen interest in detective work and a thirst for justice, this is the documentary for you.
