Black Adam (2022)
5,000 years after he was imprisoned in a tomb, Black Adam is finally freed, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world. Dwayne Johnson stars as the resurrected warrior in a fun superhero flick that has plenty of action and special effects spectacle but little in the way of subtlety!
Then You Run – Limited Series (Sky Max)
This new comedy-drama follows the adventures of four London teens on a getaway in Rotterdam who find themselves on the run with a huge cache of heroin and a gang of deadly criminals tracking their every move.

July 8
Broker (2022)
From Shoplifters director Hirokazu Kore-eda comes this heartbreaking comedy-drama about a laundry manager (Song Kang-ho) with a lucrative side hustle: he steals babies that have been left in the care of a church and sells them on the black market! When a mother decides to collect the child she previously gave up for adoption, she catches this baby broker in the act.
The subject matter for Broker is fairly grim but despite the human trafficking plotline, the movie is actually sweet-natured and heartwarming, according to some of the critics who have praised this Cannes favourite.
July 9
Seriously Red (2022)
In this rowdy Australian comedy, a realtor gets tired of her nine-to-five job and swaps out her property career for life as a Dolly Parton impersonator. As she pursues this new way to make a living, she enters into a world of tribute artists and becomes romantically involved with a Kenny Rogers impersonator.
Kreew Baylon stars as the woman who pours herself a cup of ambition and she is joined in the cast by Daniel Webber, Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale.
July 14

Armageddon Time (2022)

The Locksmith (2023)
An expert locksmith (Ryan Phillipe) is sent to prison after being forced to take part in a heist that goes badly wrong. On his release, he tries to get back into the life of his daughter (Madeleine Guilbot) and ex-wife (Kate Bosworth) but it’s not long before his past returns to haunt him. Ving Rhames also stars in this predictable but not-completely-disposable noir thriller.
July 21
Babylon (2022)
Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, and Olivia Wilde star in this sprawling tale of excess set in Hollywood during the roaring ’20s when cinema was transitioning from silent to sound movies. Damien Chazzelle’s film traces the rise and fall of several ambitious dreamers during this era of unbridled decadence and depravity, including Robbie’s “it girl” Nellie LaRoy who uses more than her natural talents to rise to fame.
July 22
High Heat (2022)
Dubbed “Die Hard in a Kitchen” by one movie critic, this action thriller stars Olga Kurylenko as a chef who has more to worry about than a deflated souffle when the Mafia arrives to burn down her restaurant.
July 23
Sharp Stick (2022)
Lena Dunham’s first movie directorial outing in 12 years (after 2010’s Tiny Furniture), is this emotionally intense drama about a naive 26-year-old (Kristine Froseth) who enters into a journey of sexual awakening after beginning an affair with her older employer (Jon Bernthal).

July 30
The Best Man (2023)
There are some great movies on Sky Cinema this month but this action thriller from Masquerade director Shane Dax Taylor isn’t one of them.
