The Iron Claw to Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F – the seven best films to watch on TV this week

5 July 2024 at 04:00

Jeremy Allen White and Zac Efron are terrific in a bone-breaking wrestling biopic, and Eddie Murphy resurrects the wisecracking Axel Foley!

Sean Durkin’s A24 wrestling biopic was initially touted as an Oscar contender and, while that didn’t come to pass, it’s nevertheless a tremendous piece of film-making.
