Free Movies on Plex in January 2021

Latest free movies on Plex

Plex is kicking off the first month of 2021 with more free movies.

Insomnia, starring Al Pacino and the late Robin Williams, is what I will be watching when it hits the platform in January.

When Insomnia was released in 2002, critics were dazzled by Pacino’s performance. But Williams’ departure from comedy to play a murderer taunting the detective hunting him demonstrated the late actor’s deep well of talent. In a 2010 interview, director Christopher Nolan recalled Williams gave a “flawless performance”.

“He really found something within himself. I think it’s a very underrated bit of work on his part,” Nolan said.

For many, January will mark turning away from a pretty rough 2020.

So watching a thriller might not be your thing at the moment. No worries. The Plex movie lineup has comedies, some drama and horror flicks on tap for the month of January.
