3 best Prime Video action movies you (probably) haven't seen
Hold on tight to the edge of your seat and don't let go. If you're in the mood for huge brawls, explosions and characters who don't back down, Prime Video has an action-packed lineup ready to deliver.
Whether you're more into gritty shootouts with great drama or space wars, these action movies were practically built to get your heart racing.
But maybe you want something a little off the beaten path, something you've not seen before. You've already run through "Die Hard" and "Rocky" and so many more of the classics. That's where we come in. We've rounded up some of best action movies on Prime Video that you probably haven't seen.
So grab your snacks, turn up the volume and get ready for some serious thrills.
Kevin Costner and Diane Lane play George and Margaret Blackledge in "Let Him Go," a retired couple still reeling from the death of their son. When their grandson is taken across state lines by his mother and her new husband (who is part of the deeply unsettling Weboy clan), Margaret insists they go after him.
What starts as a mission to bring their grandson home turns into a tense, dangerous standoff with a family that doesn't take kindly to outsiders. Set against wide-open plains and heavy silences, the film balances tender moments with bursts of brutal violence, all anchored by a tough-as-nails performance from Lane. Perhaps best of all, you probably haven't heard of it.

When high school teacher and former soldier Dan Forester (Chris Pratt) is conscripted into a massive fight via time travel, he's forced to leave his family behind for a war that seems impossible to win.
All that, you know, and big sci-fi action, emotional stakes, and a race against time (literally) to rewrite the future.
"The Tomorrow War" is loud and fast, but at its core, it's about second chances and the sacrifices people make to protect the ones they love. And even if you have Chris Pratt fatigue, you'll find something to appreciate here.
Watch on Prime Video
There are action movies, and then there are first-person simulations of what it feels like to play an entire action video game. Told entirely from the first-person perspective, "Hardcore Harry" is an adrenaline rush you've got to experience at least once.
Told entirely from the perspective of its main character, Henry (Sergey Valyaev, Andrei Dementiev, Ilya Naishuller, David Malic), the film kicks off with him waking up in a lab with no memory and some serious cybernetic upgrades. Moments later, he's under attack, and the rest of the ride barely lets up.
From rooftop chases to brutal brawls, Henry tears through wave after wave of enemies while trying to save his wife and figure out who turned him into a weapon. And you'll never expect the ending.

MrBeast borrows money to pay for wedding
MrBeast has confessed he has "very little money" and is borrowing from his mother to pay for his upcoming wedding. Despite being worth an estimated $1 billion (£740 million) according to Celebrity Net Worth, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, claims he needs his family's support to fund his upcoming nuptials to his fiancée, fellow content creator Thea Booysen. Responding to a post on X which described MrBeast as "the only billionaire under 30 to have not inherited his wealth", the YouTube star with more than 400 million subscribers responded: "I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything. I think this year we'll spend around a quarter of a billion on content." "Ironically, I'm actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding lol," he continued, adding, "But sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot." MrBeast not only posts across various social media platforms - where his videos often feature outrageous stunts and big-money giveaways - but he's also the host of the reality competition series Beast Games, which awarded its first season winner a record-breaking $10 million (£7.4 million) in prize money. At Amazon's annual upfront presentation in May, it was announced that Prime Video's most-watched unscripted show was being renewed for Seasons 2 and 3.

The content creators, both 27, exclusively revealed to PEOPLE that they got engaged on Christmas Day in 2024. At the time, they also teased their wedding plans and how they wanted to keep their big day out of the spotlight. "This will definitely be more family and friends — definitely more private," MrBeast told PEOPLE. "I don't take much vacation because of how hard I work, so I definitely want to make sure that the wedding will be a time to celebrate with her and spend time with friends and family who we really enjoy being with. It will be the ultimate way to take some time away and enjoy things." Booysen added that they were thinking of tying the knot on an island. "We're thinking of doing it somewhere on an island where we're far away from just about everybody," she said. "We're not going to try and have a big, extravagant wedding.

'Incredibly entertaining' Michael B. Jordan movie now available to watch at home — it's my favorite movie of the year so far
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. I hope most of you took advantage of seeing Sinners on the big screen — and in IMAX and/or 70mm if possible — as that experience is truly what helped make the Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler movie the best movie of the year so far in my book. But if you haven't been able to see the movie in theaters, well, things have gotten a bit easier for you, as you can now watch Sinners at home via digital on-demand platforms. As of Tuesday, June 3, you can buy or rent Sinners through Prime Video and other digital on-demand platforms. Sinners is still playing in movie theaters if you want to try and catch it on the big screen, but admittedly, watching Sinners at home makes it easier to catch up with the movie. Sinners takes place in the Mississippi Delta of the 1930s, where twin brothers Smoke and Stack (both played by Jordan) return home looking to start their own club. However, on opening night, they have some unannounced visitors who bring unparalleled chaos to the proceedings. In addition to Jordan, Sinners stars Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O'Connell, Miles Caton, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo, Li Jun Li, Omar Benson Miller and Jayme Lawson. In my Sinners review, I called the movie 'the first truly great movie of 2025,' and a month and a half later, it is still the best movie I've seen this year. While the movie theater experience was definitely special, the performances, the storytelling and the craftsmanship of Sinners will have the movie play well on whatever size screen (though I'd still recommend watching it on the biggest TV you have). I'm not alone in my praise, as Sinners is 'Certified Fresh' on Rotten Tomatoes with a critics' score of 97% and 'Verified Hot' on the platform with an audience score of 96%. It's also pulled in the dough, with it ranking as the third highest-grossing movie at the US box office as of publication and top 10 worldwide. In summation, Sinners has become something of a phenomenon for moviegoers. So anyone who likes to be caught up with the latest movies and hasn't seen Sinners yet — or if you want to watch the movie again — well, now you have multiple options to do so. To be clear though, Sinners is not available as part of a major streaming service at this time, you have to buy the movie or pay a rental fee to watch it at home. We're still waiting on an official streaming release date for Sinners, but as a Warner Bros. movie, we all but know where it is going to be available to stream first — on Max (or perhaps it will be HBO Max again by the time Sinners arrives on the platform). If you need any final convincing, here is the Sinners trailer to give a quick preview:
