This weekend’s new movies on VOD include the latest film from Alex Garland, Warfare, based on the experiences of Iraq War veteran and screenwriter Ray Mendoza, and another real life story, The Luckiest Man In America, about a less serious matter, a game show contestant who bested the Press Your Luck producers.
Also out this weekend is The Ballad of Wallis Island, a British comedy starring Tim Key, Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan. Mulligan and Basden star as an estranged folk music duo who arrive on a remote island where they believed they’d be playing for a small audience, when it turns out their audience consists of just one superfan who used his lottery winnings to reunite them.
These are just a few of the films that are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, and through your cable service this week. Check out what movies are available to buy or rent on demand now.
Filmmaker Alex Garland has followed up his acclaimed film Civil War with another harrowing combat-related film, Warfare. Co-directed and co-written by Garland and veteran Ray Mendoza, Warfare is based on Mendoza’s real-life experience as a U.S. Navy Seal in the Iraq War. The movie depicts a real-time mission taking place in November 2006 during the final stages of the second battle of Ramadi, a battle that led to the deaths of over 80 U.S. soldiers. The large ensemble cast includes D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai as Mendoza, as well as Will Poulter, Joseph Quinn, Kit Connor, Michael Gandolfini, and Noah Centineo.
Based on the true story of an ice cream truck driver who hacked the key to the ’80s game show, Press Your Luck, The Luckiest Man in America stars Emmy winner Paul Walter Hauser as Michael Larson, a man who won over $100,000 on the popular show. When Larson discovered that the supposedly random light board in the game was actually just five different patterns of light, he was accused of cheating by some, and hailed as a clever genius by others. The film co-stars Walton Goggins, Shamier Anderson, Brian Geraghty, Patti Harrison, Haley Bennett, and many more.
