Reckless

Reckless is currently streaming in the UK on Now TV Cinema, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Scott Adkins — stay for everyone else around them. Start it on Now TV Cinema whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Reckless arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Reckless gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. A former convict on parole must outwit the police to get his share of an old heist. Scott Adkins and Vinnie Jones lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2026. The timing in Reckless is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Reckless respects your intelligence. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Scott Adkins is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
