Prime Video has your viewing calendar sorted for the next few nights.
Prime Video has added some great comedies, thrillers and dramas this week, as well as one of 2023’s best movies so far!
THE HANGOVER
A bit of a modern classic, ingeniously mixing mystery with comedy, and introducing us to the brilliantly comedic trio of Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms. Prime Video has also added The Hangover Part II and The Hangover Part III, if you wanted to binge the full trilogy.
THE IMPOSSIBLE
Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor and a very young Tom Holland star in this true life disaster movie set against the backdrop of the 2004 Thailand tsunami disaster which killed over 5,000 people. A very, very good movie, but also a tough watch.
KANDAHAR
This one skipped cinemas in Ireland and the UK, so has become a Prime Video premiere. Gerard Butler headlines this action thriller about a soldier and his translator stuck behind enemy lines in Afghanistan.
THE KING’S SPEECH
A very entertaining biographical drama about King George VI (Colin Firth) and his speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush) preparing to give the speech to rally the country during World War II.
KNOWING
Nic Cage stars in this bonkers action thriller about a man who believes he is seeing signs that are predictions for the impending end of the world. A bit too OTT for its own good, but features some incredible set-pieces, including a one-shot airplane crash scene.
LAW ABIDING CITIZEN
A twisty-turny action thriller with a silly ending. A man (Gerard Butler) in prison seems to be getting revenge on those responsible for the death of his family while still behind bars, while a lawyer (Jamie Foxx) tries to stop him.
LOOPER
The brilliant time-travel assassin movie, in which a killer (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) has been assigned to murder the older version of himself (Bruce Willis).
THE LUCKY ONES
Rachel McAdams, Tim Robbins and Michael Pena play three former soldiers who form a bond while on a road trip together. It apparently isn’t very good.
MISS CONGENIALITY
Sandra Bullock’s much-loved comedy about an agent forced to go undercover in a beauty pageant to stop a terrorist threat. Prime Video has also added the nowhere-near-as-good sequel, Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous.
THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES
One of the many, MANY attempts to follow in the successful Young Adult footsteps of Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, this one is about humans who discover they are half angel, and a war against demons is coming. 13% on Rotten Tomatoes made sure a sequel never arrived.
SABOTAGE
The director of Training Day puts together an impressively muscular cast (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Worthington, Joe Manganiello) for this action thriller about a group of DEA agents gone bad. Unfortunately, the movie isn’t much fun.
TUSK
Director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats) tries his hand at horror, when a podcaster (Justin Long) heads to a remote location to interview a celebrity (Michael Parks) with a strange obsession with walruses…
VACATION
This rebootquel of the Chevy Chase classics is actually a bit of a comedy hidden gem, with Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Charlie Day and Chris Hemsworth filling out the impressive cast.
YOU HURT MY FEELINGS
Another Prime Video exclusive, but this time it is one of 2023’s best movies so far. Read all about it right here.
