You really should watch it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Freehold. 2017.

A different take on a home invasion, what starts as the main character getting sorted and leaving for work and seems like he has a super thin flatmate who isn't a flatmate at all but a homeless man. Basically there is only one set and that's inside the flat itself but there is quite a few tense moments, some pretty disgusting moments but there is a few dark humour comedy moments. Javier Botet and Mim Shaikh play both the main leads and even though it can be a bit slow at times this was worth a watch.

Taxi Hunter (1993, Herman Yau)

Anthony Wong as a mild mannered office worker?
Fear not.
Whilst not as heightened as some of his other performances, this was worth the wait. When his dreams are torn asunder by a callous cabby, what's our boy to do but ape Travis Bickle slightly, only slightly mind
I recommend this one.

Earth Vs The Spider. 2001.

A shy comic book fan gets injected with a serum that slowly transform him into a spider and tends to be a hero.

A somewhat horror version of Spider-Man with Dan Arkroyd playing detective while his wife Theresa Russell is playing about with his colleague Christopher Cousins. Devon Gummersall plays the shy quiet security guard who fails at his job and injects himself with a lab serum and changes his DNA to a insect. Stan Winston delivers his magic again with the effects that are helped with some good make up creations, this may not be a solid movie but entertaining enough.

Family Of Cops II. 1997.

Charles Bronson returns as the head of the family of law and Order, this time investigating the killing of a priest who had ties with a Russian Mob which the family becomes a target. Bronson is showing his age but shows he can still act and still pack a punch or two and take down a few guys along the way. The acting in this isnt too bad even though the plot seems a bit daft in places this was decent enough to pass the time away.

We Still Steal The Old Way. 2017.

Ian Ogilvy, Christopher Ellison and Tony Denham return as The Archer Gang, pulling off a heist and getting caught they are remanded in custody, getting caught was part of the plan. Patrick Berlin joins in as old Briggs and fellow Archer member. Billy Murray plays the gangs rival who also wants to settle a score. The first film was really good, especially watching old people trying to figure out technology while another is a whizz with it, aside from not having the appearance of James Cosmo this is still a hoot and a laugh. You can tell these guys have been inside and no stranger to prisons, a few cross over references to another prison film is included. As for a sequel this was entertaining and the laughs do come with it a bit more.
