Vic Naidoo took away the hard work out of finding your next action movie to binge on Showmax this weekend... or weekday... or any day for that matter!

DAHMER

The latest series about Jeffrey Dahmer is causing a social media storm, but still, you need to get involved. The story is based on one of the most notorious serial killers in the United States, largely told from the victims' point of view.

Across more than a decade, 17 teen boys and young men were murdered by convicted killer Jeffrey Dahmer

How did he evade arrest for so long? 

THE REAL BLING RING: HOLLYWOOD HEIST

First, there was the reality series, then came a Hollywood movie— but the truth about the Bling Ring burglaries has never been told…until now. 10 years after the notorious heists, the culprits have served their jail time and are coming forward to tell the real story behind the Hollywood Hills home invasions that gripped the nation. 


A cautionary tale for teens today, the docuseries shows what can happen when a fame-and-celebrity-obsessed culture meets the rise of social media and spins wildly out of control. 

THE HOBBIT TRILOGY

Showmax has a variety of fantasy series and movies that will transport you out of your everyday life and into worlds that are beyond your wildest dreams. 

Stream Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy and experience the whole journey. 

Set in the fictional world of Middle-earth and based on the classic, bestselling novel by Bloemfontein-born JRR Tolkien, The Hobbit trilogy stars Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, the reluctant hobbit recruited to join a quest to recover the dwarves’ treasure from the dragon Smaug.

In ancient Africa, one thousand years after the fall of Atlantis, the five surviving tribes face another danger: a prophecy that speaks of the end of the world.

A princess named Zazi is at the centre of the prophecy and must do whatever it takes to save herself and her people from the end of the world.

This show was specifically created as a reimagining of Africa, and it's done in a very entertaining way, with a lot of drama and action. With an incredible cast of SAFTA-winning actors, Blood Psalms is a heck of a ride. Blood Psalms will premiere on Showmax on 28 September 2022, with new episodes dropping every week.

COP SHOP

Cop Shop stars the charming Gerard Butler... A wily artist running from an assassin devises a scheme to hide out inside a small-town police station in this action flick... and then the - you know what - hits the fan!

MARKSMAN

Liam Neeson’s characters always just need a little more time.

And it’s no different in the Marksman where he plays retired Marine sniper, Jim Hanson, a drunken widowed farmer living on the Arizona-Mexico border in this action flick. 

The bank is foreclosing on his farm and he’s under attack from the drug cartels that use his farm as a stepping stone into the US. But that’s just the start: he takes an illegal immigrant under his wing when the cartels zone in on the boy and his mom. 

It’s Liam Neeson, folks. 

People challenging him are going to catch a crack upside their heads - and badly. The guy is old, but he has a very particular set of skills and he's not afraid to use them
