3 Best Movies to Watch on Prime Video This Week

Ángel Manuel Soto’s buddy cop action movie The Wrecking Crew has been ruling Prime Video’s movie rankings for a while and sits atop the charts again this week. Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista play estranged half-brothers reunited by their father’s mysterious death, and the film’s mix of charm and action has kept viewers tuning in.

If a buddy comedy isn’t what you’re after, the service still offers plenty of choices, from recent hits to enduring classics. Promising Young Woman (2020) marks Emerald Fennell’s feature directorial debut as writer, director, and co-producer. Carey Mulligan stars as Cassie, who embarks on a darkly comedic quest for vengeance after her best friend took her own life following a sexual assault by a classmate.

The film, which features Bo Burnham, Alison Brie, Clancy Brown, Jennifer Coolidge, Laverne Cox, and Connie Britton in supporting roles, premiered to critical and commercial success and picked up two BAFTAs, four Golden Globe nominations, and an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
