Transporter 3 HHH
10.45pm-12.50am Film4
Jason Statham returns as
the muscled-up driver. His
stylish turn and the
expertly done fight

This brisk action thriller sees
Steven Seagal’s chef and
ex-commando tackle
Tommy Lee Jones
and gang when
they hijack the USS
Missouri. (1992; Cert 15).Lethal Weapon 3 HHH
10.45pm-12.45am ITV
Mel Gibson and Danny
Glover battle an ex-cop-
turned-gunrunner in another
action-packed, wisecracking
thriller. It’s a bit routine, but
the stars, plus Rene Russo
as a feisty Internal
Affairs investigator
and Joe Pesci as a
talkative crook, add
value. (1992; Cert 15).Sin City: HHH
A Dame to Kill For
1.00am-2.40am C4

Brolin head a stellar
cast in this visually
stunning but routine
follow-up to the 2005
film.(2014; Cert 18).The Diary of HHHH
a Teenage Girl
1.00am-2.45am C4
Bel Powley is excellent as a
teen having an affair
with her mum’s lover.
Set in 1976, this is a
daring coming-of-age
drama. (2015; Cert 18).What’s onTV FILMWEEK
Fast & Furious 7 HHH
9.00pm-11.45pm ITV2
The brashest, noisiest and
most ludicrous instalment
also proves to be an
unexpectedly tender last
farewell for the late Paul
Walker. Vin Diesel and
Dwayne Johnson
are back while Jason
Statham and Kurt
Russell are new
faces. (2015; Cert 12).The Second Best HHH
Exotic Marigold Hotel
6.35pm-9.00pm Film4
Judi Dench, Maggie Smith,
Bill Nighy and Celia Imrie
are still living in Dev Patel’s
run-down hotel in India. This
sequel crams in too much
and even adds
Richard Gere, but
the cast lends
warmth to the silliest
lines. (2015; Cert PG).●¡¡¡¡¡LanguageViolenceSex●¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡LanguageViolenceSex¡¡¡The Hangover HHHH
9.00pm-11.05pm ITV2
On a stag night in Las Vegas,
Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms
and Zach Galifianakis lose
groom Justin Bartha and all
memories of the night before- but gain a tiger and a baby!
Their bleary-eyed
efforts to sort out
the mess makes for
a genuinely hilarious
film. (2009; Cert 15).
●¡¡●●¡LanguageViolenceSex●●¡Idiocracy HHH
11.00pm-12 .4 0 a m Fi l m 4
Beavis and Butt-Head’s
creators come up with the
comic goods in this
hit-and-miss spoof of youth

animation, who
wakes up 500 years
later to find the
future full of fat, stupid
people. (2006; Cert 15).Dodgeball: A HHHH
True Underdog Story
9.00pm-1 0.5 0 p m E4
There are as many dodgy
laughs as hilarious ones in
this goofy sports movie
spoof. As rival gym owners
entering a dodgeball
tournament, Vince
Vaughn outpaces
the smarmy Ben
Stiller in the funny
stakes.(2004; Cert 12).●¡¡●¡¡LanguageViolenceSex●●¡●¡¡¡¡¡LanguageViolenceSex●¡¡Austin Powers HHHH
in Goldmember
9.00pm-10.55pm 5Star
Austin Powers (Mike
Myers) returns to disco-
mad 1975 and grooves with
Beyoncé Knowles. Myers
turns the daft jokes into
laugh-out-loud
moments while Tom
Cruise and Michael
Caine have guest
roles. (2002; Cert 12).True Lies HHHH
9.00pm-11 .4 5 p m E4
Arnold Schwarzenegger
fires on all cylinders as a
secret agent battling
terrorists in this stunt-
packed star vehicle. His wife
(Jamie Lee Curtis) thinks
he’s a salesman,
which cues the
film’s strong line in
comedy. A fine star
vehicle. (1994; Cert 15).●●¡●¡¡LanguageViolenceSex●●¡●¡¡●¡¡LanguageViolenceSex●¡¡Baywatch HHH
9.00pm-11.20pm Film4
The drug-dealing plot of this
comic reboot of the 1980s
TV show is particularly lame.
So it takes all of Dwayne
Johnson’s buoyant charm as
a veteran lifeguard and Zac
Efron’s self-
mocking cool as a
cocky new recruit
to keep the movie
afloat. (2017; Cert 15).●¡¡●¡¡LanguageViolenceSex●●¡Copycat HHHH
9.00pm-11.25pm Paramount Ntwk
Holly Hunter and Dermot
Mulroney play cops who
team up with Sigourney
Weaver’s shrink to track
down San Francisco’s latest
serial killer. This lurid chiller
gives the stale
woman-in-peril
formula a fresh new
angle and added
muscle.(1995; Cert 18).●●●●¡¡LanguageViolenceSex●●●10 Rillington HHHH
Place
11.25pm-1.45am Paramount Ntwk
As serial killer John Christie,
Richard Attenborough
brilliantly conveys the sense
of menace behind Christie’s
air of respectability. John Hurt
is excellent, too, as
Timothy Evans, who
was wrongly hanged
for two of Christie’s
murders.(1970; Cert 15).●●¡●¡¡LanguageViolenceSex¡¡¡TOP PICK
