2. Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers

Release Date - 01 July 2025

Where to watch - Netflix

In four sections, this comprehensive series explores the first assaults on the London transport network, resulting in 52 fatalities and over 700 injuries, then traces that intense month into the unsuccessful bombings of July 21, followed by the police shooting of innocent Jean Charles de Menezes the following day.

The initial 25 minutes primarily narrate those initial assaults, assembling the narrative through mobile images, news clips, sporadic reenactments, the well-known images of the wounded exiting subway stations, and testimonies from survivors and victims' families. Although it has become a well-known narrative, this brings forth the fear, confusion, and panic of that day with heart-pounding clarity.

3. The Old Guard 2

Release Date - 02 July 2025

Where to watch - Netflix

“The Old Guard 2” is one of the New Release Movies and a sequel to their popular pandemic hit. This time, the story follows Andy (played by Charlize Theron), who has lost her immortality, as she storms into a fancy Italian villa full of shady arms dealers.

She’s joined by Joe and Nicky, the charming couple fans loved in the first film, who create chaos by leading the bad guys on a wild car chase. James Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor), once Andy’s enemy, is now fighting alongside her. The movie’s big opening scene, with fast editing and thrilling camerawork, even ends with Nile (KiKi Layne) crashing a speedboat right through a window.

While this action-packed moment gives all the characters their time to shine, the rest of the film doesn’t really offer a strong reason to care about their story. Still, it’s well-acted and looks great, making it worth a casual watch for fans of the first part.
