Prime Video top 10 movies — here are the 3 you need to watch this week (Sept. 7-13)
Prime Video's top 10 movies list has been refreshed to start the week, and I'm picking out the highlights, including a thriller, sci-fi and more.
This week's Prime Video top 10 most-watched movies list has been updated. After analyzing today's rankings, I’ve identified three standout films worth adding to your watch list. Two of these are genuinely great movies, while the third is suitable for those who enjoy "so bad, it’s good" entertainment.
The top pick on Prime Video’s current list is the new thriller "The Runner." Gal Gadot stars as a high-powered lawyer whose life is put in danger when a mysterious caller informs her that her son has been kidnapped. Described as a "pulse-pounding psychological thriller," the film received scathing reviews, scoring just 8% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Critics have labeled it as "lazy," "tedious," and "dumb as dirt." However, I’ve included it in this list due to its morbidly fascinating nature, as it is a prime example of a "trainwreck" that is worth watching at your own risk.
Another highly recommended title on the current Prime Video top 10 is "Good Fortune," a comedy starring Keanu Reeves alongside Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogan, and Keke Palmer. Written and directed by Aziz Ansari, the film tackles the themes of wealth inequality and class divide. Despite its flawed commentary, the movie boasts a fun high-concept premise and impressive comedic performances from its cast. It is worth a watch for fans of light-hearted comedies.
Lastly, "Project Hail Mary" rounds out this week's must-watch list. Based on the popular novel by Andy Weir, this sci-fi blockbuster features Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, an astronaut who wakes up from a coma on an interstellar spaceship millions of miles away from Earth. The movie follows a thrilling mission to save humanity from imminent doom. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend making time to watch this captivating and entertaining film.
