Best new to Prime Video thriller movies this week
‘A Walk Among the Tombstones’ (2014)
Liam Neeson has become one of the most prominent names in the thriller genre. The Northern Irish actor has starred in more than a dozen action-thriller films, including 2014’s “A Walk Among the Tombstones.” Based on the novel by Lawrence Block, this one ranks among Neeson’s strongest efforts, giving the actor a meaty character to dig into, and its neo-noir style helps it stand apart from some of his blander action-thriller projects.
Matt Scudder (Neeson) is a retired NYPD detective, now working as a private investigator, and attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to help battle his demons. When he’s approached by a wealthy drug dealer (Dan Stevens), he’s hired for a twisting case. The dealer’s wife was kidnapped, and despite the requested ransom being paid, she was still brutally murdered. He wants her killers found and brought to justice. As Scudder investigates the killing, he sinks into New York’s criminal underworld and also encounters Ray (David Harbour), a sadistic criminal.

‘Mad Max’ (1979)
2014’s “Fury Road” might be my favorite of the “Mad Max” series, not to mention one of the finest action movies ever made, but there’s still value in celebrating the franchise originator. This influential post-apocalyptic action-thriller stars Mel Gibson as the titular Max and is directed by George Miller, who has helmed every installment in the saga to date. It doesn’t have the spectacle of “Fury Road” or the truly wild streak of later sequels like 1985’s “Beyond Thunderdome,” but it’s a gritty dystopian flick, fueled by carnage, chaos and engine fumes.
Set in a future Australia where society has collapsed due to environmental destruction, Max Rockatansky (Gibson) is a highway patrolman and the top agent for the Main Force Patrol, one of the few remaining law enforcement bodies in this increasingly lawless world. But when Max encounters a ruthless motorcycle gang and his family is left in ruins, he resolves to operate outside of the law. The road warrior sets out across the barren wasteland in search of revenge against those who have wronged him.

‘Guns Akimbo’ (2020)
After wrapping up the “Harry Potter" series in the early 2010s, Daniel Radcliffe hasn't been afraid to experiment. Instead of leaping into another blockbuster franchise, he’s taken on a range of quirky and oddball projects. These include “Guns Akimbo,” a gloriously silly and completely over-the-top action-thriller cut with plenty of dark comedy. Its brash tone might not connect with everybody, but if you’re on board with its juvenile humor, there’s much to enjoy in this truly bonkers flick.
Set in a world where an online death match has become popular entertainment. Miles Lee Harris (Radcliffe) is an outspoken computer programmer who blasts viewers for taking pleasure in watching live-streamed death matches. This results in him awaking with two pistols bolted to his hands, and if that wasn’t bad enough, he’s forced to participate in the internet fight club. His odds of survival appear particularly remote when it’s revealed that his opponent is one of the game’s top killers, Nix (Samara Weaving). But can Miles bring down the game from within?
