5 top new movies to stream this week on Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu and more (Aug. 25-31) — including a new crime mystery thriller with Robert De Niro
This week's new movies on streaming services include a crime thriller on Netflix, a romantic drama on Prime Video, and more.
This week's top new movies across the biggest streaming services include Netflix's original thriller, "The Whisper Man," starring Adam Scott, Robert De Niro, Michelle Monaghan, and Michael Keaton. The film is a crime mystery thriller that follows a widowed crime author whose real life mirrors one of his novels when his 8-year-old son is abducted. He turns to his estranged father, a retired police detective, for help and uncovers a connection to a decades-old convicted serial killer known as The Whisper Man.
On Prime Video, "Motor City" is an action-thriller with minimal dialogue and a rock-heavy soundtrack. Starring Alan Ritchson, Ben Foster, Pablo Schreiber, Lionel Boyce, and Shailene Woodley, the movie is set in 1970s Detroit and follows John Miller, a Vietnam War veteran seeking revenge after being framed for a crime he didn't commit.
Hulu's arrival of "Desert Warrior," a $150 million historical epic, brings a morbidly curious perspective. The film stars Anthony Mackie and takes place in 7th-century Arabia, following a princess who defies the wishes of a ruthless emperor and teams up with a legendary bandit to unite warring tribes and stand against the ruler. Despite its large budget and star power, the movie ended up being a box office bomb, grossing less than $1 million.
