A very decent selection of Prime Video additions to enjoy this week.
Kicking off your rainy July week with some Prime Video movies, check out the latest additions of comedy, action, drama and thrillers here:
BOMBSHELL
An all-star cast including Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie and John Lithgow star in this drama telling the true story of sexual abuse at Fox News.
CRANK
Jason Statham headlines this bonkers action thriller as an assassin who needs to keep finding more inventive ways to maintain a very high heart rate, or a poison he’s been injected with will kill him.
EAGLE EYE
Two complete strangers (Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan) find their lives turned upside down, both accused of huge crimes they didn’t commit, so they go on the run together to try to find out the truth. An enjoyable action thriller.
INSTANT FAMILY
Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne star in this likeable comedy drama about a married couple who decide to adopt a teenage girl… only to discover she has two more siblings out there in the world, too.
THE LEGO NINJAGO MOVIE
After the greatness of The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Batman movie, this felt like a major step down, but it still has some very decent jokes.
MEGAMIND
An insanely stacked voice cast – Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, J.K. Simmons – feature in this very fun animated action comedy about a supervillain who suddenly finds himself without a hero to fight.
PUSS IN BOOTS
This year’s long-delayed sequel is one of our best movies of 2023 so far, so why not go back and check out the equally brilliant first spin-off featuring the exquisite voice performance by Antonio Banderas.
RED
Not the old-assassin-action-comedy of the same name, but this Brian Cox-starring thriller has basically the same plot as John Wick, involving a dangerous man getting revenge on a group of criminals when they kill his dog.
SAFE
Yet another Jason Statham action thriller. Here he plays a cage fighter who attempts to defend a child genius from a group of mobsters.
SHREK FOREVER AFTER
Prime Video has added the fourth Shrek movie. But none of the other three Shrek movies are currently available on Prime Video. Sometimes things just don’t make sense.
YOU’VE GOT MAIL
The third big screen pairing for Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan isn’t as good as Sleepless In Seattle, but is a damned sight better than Joe Versus The Volcano.
