For even more recommendations, check out our curated list of the best shows and movies on Prime Video this month.
'Thoroughbreds' (2017) – Anya Taylor-Joy's Twisty Thriller
Written and directed by Cory Finley in his feature debut, Thoroughbreds is a black comedy thriller that pairs Anya Taylor-Joy with Olivia Cooke as two privileged teenagers, Lily and Amanda. The duo hatch a chilling plan to murder Lily's stepfather by blackmailing a local drug dealer, but as you'd expect, their scheme quickly spirals out of control. The film also features Paul Sparks, Anton Yelchin (in his final U.S. film role), Francie Swift, Kaili Vernoff, and Alex Wolff.
After premiering at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, Thoroughbreds earned strong reviews for its sharp script and unnerving performances. Though it didn't set the box office on fire, the movie is a smart, unpredictable thriller that transcends typical teen-genre conventions. Cooke and Taylor-Joy's electric chemistry anchors the film, making it a bold and intelligent watch that deserves far more attention than it initially received.
'A Man Called Otto' (2022) – Tom Hanks at His Best
Directed by Marc Forster, A Man Called Otto is a comedy-drama remake of the 2015 Swedish film A Man Called Ove, itself based on Fredrik Backman's beloved novel. Tom Hanks stars as Otto, a grumpy widower whose plans to end his life are derailed by the arrival of a lively new family next door. The supporting cast includes Mariana Treviño, Rachel Keller, and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo.
Hanks delivers the kind of layered, emotionally complex performance he's known for, turning a potentially bleak story into a deeply moving and life-affirming experience. While the film tackles heavy themes like suicide, miscarriage, and gentrification, its overall message is one of hope and human connection. A Man Called Otto was both a critical and commercial hit in 2022, and while it may not be as iconic as Hanks' classics, it's easily one of his best recent works.
'Heartbreakers' (2001) – A Con-Artist Romp with Sigourney Weaver
Directed by David Mirkin, Heartbreakers is a romantic crime comedy starring Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt as Max and Page Conners, a mother-daughter duo who run divorce scams on wealthy men. Their lucrative scheme hits a snag when Page decides she wants to go solo. The cast also includes Ray Liotta, Jason Lee, Gene Hackman, and Anne Bancroft in her final onscreen film appearance before her death in 2005.
Though it opened at number one at the U.S. box office, Heartbreakers was only a moderate success and received mixed reviews. The plot can be uneven, and the characters aren't always sympathetic, but the performances—especially from Weaver and Hewitt—are top-notch. Their chemistry drives the film, making it a fun, nostalgic watch for fans of early 2000s rom-coms, even if the romance itself is the weakest element.
