Suicide Squad star Joel Kinnaman's The Silent Hour is doing very well on Hulu. The 2024 crime thriller was very recently atop the streamer's Top 10 most-watched movie chart.

Per FlixPatrol, The Silent Hour is currently second, dethroned on January 16 by Simone Stock's The Girl Locked Upstairs: The Tanya Kach Story. Kinnaman's movie has managed to hold off competition from the Twilight franchise, which rounds out the top 5 with three of its films; the original Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The 2022 psychological horror survival film Fall is in the sixth spot, followed by the first three film entries from Keanu Reeves' popular action franchise John Wick. The fifth and final Twilight installment, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, closes out the Top 10.

"I saw what you did." Screen Daily has revealed an official promo trailer for an indie historic drama titled Just Noise, made in Malta about the tiny island nation's fight for independence (from Britain) after World War I. The film is directed by an Italian filmmaker named Davide Ferrario and doesn't have any release dates set yet - but this will create some anticipation. Just Noise (aka Storbju) chronicles how the citizens of Malta fought for independence from Britain in 1919. When the Army was sent to quell the riots and the British government covered up the bloody encounter, more than 100 Maltese were accused of instigating the violence and jailed. The full cast features Malcolm McDowell, Harvey Keitel, Tom Prior, Ian Virgo, Leeshon Alexander, Benedick Blythe, and Christopher Dingli. This looks intense! A gripping, brutal thriller about fighting for independence from evil, merciless imperialists. I'm in. Here's the first official promo...

I’ve reviewed quite a few British gangster movies and know what to expect, some take themselves a little too seriously and others look to offer comedy. As long as you know that then there is a good chance they end up being entertaining at least. The British gangster movie to be released is Hackney’s Finest, which is a film I remember looking for funding from a Kickstarter campaign, so it’s nice to see an independent film getting some success to mainstream distribution.

Sirus (Nathanael Wiseman) is a small time drug dealer who, when his friend Asif (Rajan Sharma) offers him a new delivery of drugs invites his Welsh friends Tony (Enoch Frost) and B (Marlon G. Day...

Launched on Kickstarter last month, upcoming British gangster film, Hackney’s Finest, is heading for the last hurdles on its path to distribution.

The two-month production was completed earlier in the year, and is just shy of its £6,000 goal over on Kickstarter, with a little under a week left on the clock.

To help whet your appetite, a new extended trailer has landed online, giving a good look at what’s to come. And though some of the accents feel a little off – though, having never been to Hackney, take that with a pinch of salt – it looks like a kind of Lock, Stock fifteen years on.

Hackney’s Finest is a lighthearted journey into the dark underbelly of London. A fast-paced crime thriller, packed with intrigue, corruption, dirty police, Afghan heroin smugglers, Welsh-Jamaican arms dealers and Eastern-European skinheads!
