1. Jingle Bell Heist (Netflix)
This Christmas-set caper follows Sophia (Olivia Holt) and Nick (Connor Swindells), two struggling workers who plan a robbery at a high-end London store on Christmas Eve. Lighthearted and fast-paced, the film mixes holiday charm with a simple crime plot.

2. The Ugly Stepsister (Hulu)
Hulu’s take on Cinderella focuses on Elvira (Lea Myren), the older stepsister, navigating financial pressure and family expectations. With a dark, stylized approach, the film explores the toll of appearances and ambition within the household.

3. Mickey 17 (Prime Video)
A sci-fi thriller starring Robert Pattinson as Mickey Barnes, who signs up for a dangerous deep-space mission with the knowledge that he’ll be regenerated after each death. The story delves into identity, survival, and control as he confronts another version of himself.

4. Flight Risk (HBO Max)
Set almost entirely on a small aircraft, this thriller features Mark Wahlberg as a pilot transporting an air marshal (Michelle Dockery) and a fugitive (Topher Grace). Tension escalates in confined quarters over Alaskan skies as secrets and inconsistencies come to light.

5. Caught Stealing (Netflix)
In this crime story, Austin Butler stars as Hank Thompson, a former baseball player drawn into a dispute after a favor to watch a neighbor’s cat. Misunderstandings spiral into danger, pushing Hank toward high-stakes decisions.
