Cillian Murphy’s “tense” forgotten British thriller is on TV tonight

BBG News

While anticipating Cillian Murphy’s reappearance as Tommy Shelby on the big screen in the upcoming Peaky Blinders film, here’s a movie that Peaky Blinders enthusiasts in the UK can enjoy this Bank Holiday weekend instead!

In the year 2011, Murphy acted in the British thriller titled “Retreat”. This film was shared screen time with Thandiwe Newton and Jamie Bell. If this movie is unfamiliar to you, it’s understandable as it had a limited cinema release only within the UK.

The film follows the story of Martin (Murphy) and Kate (Newton), a troubled couple, as they travel to a secluded, inhabited Scottish island with the hope of reviving their relationship.

During the course of her journey, Kate encounters a wounded solider named Bell, who reveals that a lethal airborne virus has swept across the globe. However, she wonders if this information is accurate, or if there’s more to the story.

Heading into the late-night gaming session, remember to tune in around 12:25 AM this Sunday, as Retreat is set to air on BBC One!

No problem if catching a movie this evening, even during the bank holiday weekend, isn’t feasible for you. Good news! The program Retreat will be accessible for viewing on BBC iPlayer soon following its airing tonight, allowing you to watch it whenever it suits your schedule.

If you simply can’t hold back your excitement for the upcoming thriller, feel free to stream “Retreat” instantly on Netflix, providing you have an active subscription.

Despite receiving a 62% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has received positive reviews. The Guardian called it “a skillfully crafted thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat,” and ViewLondon described it as “surprisingly twisty with frequent tension.” Total Film also praised its tense atmosphere, though they noted it as somewhat bleak but consistent.

If you’re keen on more of Murphy’s compelling Irish storytelling, the “potent” drama titled “Small Things Like These” has been newly available on Prime Video in both the UK and Ireland over this Bank Holiday weekend.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m excited to let you know that my favorite show, Retreat, is back tonight! You can catch it live at midnight (that’s 00.25am) on BBC One. And if you miss the live telecast, don’t worry! It will be available for replay shortly after broadcasting on BBC iPlayer. So, mark your calendars and get ready to tune in!

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to announce that my favorite digital platform, Digital Spy, has stepped into the world of print! The first issue, featuring British Comedy Legends, is now available in newsstands or online for only £3.99. Don’t miss out on this hilarious journey through the annals of British comedy history.
