We have some fantastic news for movie lovers today as Signature Entertainment has announced that two modern classics will be making their way to Amazon Prime Video in October.
Saving Grace (94mins, 15 Cert)
The who’s who of British acting & comedy elite star in the darkly comic Golden Globe-nominated crime drama. Starring Brenda Blethyn, Martin Clunes, Bill Bailey and Tchéky Karyo. From Nigel Cole, the director of Made in Dagenham and Calendar Girls & written by Mark Crowdy (Doc Martin). Grace Trevethan’s idyllic life on the Cornish coast is turning upside down. Faced with her husband’s untimely death, a mountain of debt, a former mistress and the prospect of losing her beautiful manor house, Grace decides to put her green fingers to work. Desperate times call for desperate measures and with a little prompting from her now under-employed gardener Matthew, Grace swaps her prize-winning orchids for marijuana. Together, they convert her state-of-the-art greenhouse into what she hopes will be their goldmine and salvation. Valuable as marijuana is, it’s not a currency the bank recognises. So, Grace leaves the safety of her Cornish village to sell her produce to the menacing underworld of London’s Notting Hill. The pressures of her new-found enterprise begin to catch up with her, as gangsters, debt collectors and the police are in hot pursuit. Will Grace Trevethan, a fine upstanding member of the local community turn to a life of crime?

The Hatton Garden Job (Cert 15, 93mins)
These old boys are determined to go out with a bang in the movie adaptation of the most talked-about heist of the century; The Hatton Garden Job.
A remarkable true story set over one long Easter weekend; The Hatton Garden Job follows four ageing East End criminals – led by 76-year-old Brian Reader (Larry Lamb, TV’s EastEnders, Gavin & Stacey) – and one mystery man (Matthew Goode, The Imitation Game, TV’s Downton Abbey), who pull off the largest heist in English legal history. With everyone from the Hungarian mob to Scotland Yard on their tail, these rag-tag, old-school (and just plain old) bunch of east-end crooks set about achieving the seemingly impossible; drilling into a steel-and-concrete secured safety deposit vault in London’s well-to-do Hatton Garden jewellery quarter and pulling off the biggest theft in history. Also starring Phil Daniels (TV’s EastEnders, Quadrophenia), Joely Richardson (Snowden, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), David Calder (Rush, The Lady In The Van), Clive Russell (TV’s Game Of Thrones, Ripper Street) and Stephen Moyer (Concussion, TV’s True Blood).
