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.
