Venom closes a night that starts with a shark in a water park

The best film on Great Action tonight is the last one. Venom (2018) starts at 22:00 with Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed in the cast, and the second half follows at 23:01. It is the only title on the channel that anyone is likely to have chosen to watch rather than stumbled across, and at 3 stars it earns the pick by default as much as by merit. Against it, 5action and 5star are both running The Quick and the Dead, and 5usa has Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Before it comes Water Park Shark, a 2026 film with David Chokachi and Chelsea Gilson, split across 20:00 and 21:01. The title promises exactly what the channel delivers, and 2 stars is fair for a night where the most interesting thing about it is the name. The 21:01 slot is the longest of the evening, so the channel is building its primetime around it, and it faces NCIS: Los Angeles on 5usa and Celebrity Gogglebox on E4.

Daytime belongs to Audie Murphy. Six Black Horses, The Texican and Posse From Hell each run twice between 11:20 and 17:10, followed by Godzilla. Westerns back to back with no break for anything else: a schedule for people who already know what they like.
