Following the blockbuster success of the first action hit, 2025 brought with it The Accountant 2, reuniting audiences with Ben Affleck’s skull-cracking Christian Wolff. When a Treasury Agent’s former boss is murdered by assassins, it’s up to Wolff’s genius mind to piece together the puzzle. A rollercoaster action ride with plenty of thrills and spills, The Accountant 2 certainly does the first entry justice — and sprinkles in a bit more humor for good measure. Hard-hitting and wholly entertaining, this one is not to be missed. – Jake Hodges
‘Deep Cover’ (2025)

One of the most exciting new additions to Prime Video’s stacked catalog, Deep Cover follows three improv actors as they are given the role of a lifetime. The catch? The role is for the police force and involves going undercover in the dangerous world of London’s organized crime. Directed by Tom Kingsley, Deep Cover promises a blend of comedy, action, and drama and boasts a central trio of actors sure to catch the attention of millions. Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish, Deep Cover is a perfect way to spend an evening. – Jake Hodges

One of the more underrated Academy Award nominees from this year’s recent ceremony, September 5 is a retelling of the infamous 1972 Munich Olympic hostage disaster through a brand-new lens. Expecting to bring the highs and lows of sporting excellence to a viewing nation, the ABC sports group team quickly has to pivot to the breaking news, with emotions running high. An intricate, well-performed new take on an oft-told tale, September 5 might’ve earned itself an Oscar nomination, but it’s fair to say it deserved even more. – Jake Hodges
‘Another Simple Favor’ (2025)
Rotten Tomatoes: 67% | IMDb: 5.4/10
Seven years on from Paul Feig’s first winding, stylish mystery, Another Simple Favor returns to the intense life of Anna Kendrick’s Stephanie and Blake Lively’s Emily, with the latter about to marry a rich businessman against the stunning backdrop of the island of Capri. However, murder soon threatens to ruin her celebration, with old feelings beginning to boil over. Kendrick and Lively return to the characters that brought them great success back in 2018, with this a clever, worthwhile follow-up to the beloved original. It may not be quite as strong as its first outing, but that is more representative of the original’s quality than a damning indictment of the sequel’s. – Jake Hodges
‘The Accountant’ (2016)
Rotten Tomatoes: 53% | IMDb: 7.3/10
With the sequel recently premiering, there’s no better time to catch this first installment of Ben Affleck’s badass titular Accountant. A math savant working for high-profile criminal clients, Affleck’s Christian Wolff soon becomes the target of the Treasury Department’s Crime Enforcement Division, with bodies beginning to pile up. An action-packed conspiracy thriller with all the trimmings, The Accountant is wonderful, testosterone-fueled fun from start to finish. Boasting Affleck at his best and a strong ensemble line-up alongside him, The Accountant is well worth a watch. – Jake Hodges
‘Gladiator II’ (2024)
Rotten Tomatoes: 70% | IMDb: 6.5/10
One of the biggest blockbuster releases of 2024, Gladiator II sees Ridley Scott follow up on his Best Picture-winning historical epic almost 25 years prior. Set 16 years after its predecessor, Gladiator II follows Paul Mescal’s Lucius as he goes on a journey from zero to hero, taking vengeance on those who destroyed his home and looking to bring down a corrupt Roman government. A swords-and-sandals epic with all the trimmings, Gladiator II might not quite live up to its predecessor, but let that take nothing away from the expansive, adrenaline-fueled action of this worthy sequel. – Jake Hodges
‘Ford v Ferrari’ (2019)
Rotten Tomatoes: 92% | IMDb: 8.1/10
Six years before he was nominated for Best Picture for his Bob Dylan biopic, James Mangold was telling another fascinating true tale, this time surrounding the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 1966. With Ferrari the opponent to beat, the innovative Ford breaks boundaries by revolutionizing the race car — but can it win? Featuring a star-studded cast starring everyone from Matt Damon to Christian Bale, Ford v Ferrari was a huge hit upon its 2019 release, even going on to win two Academy Awards for its troubles. With racing as popular as it’s ever been right now, Ford v Ferrari is the perfect accompaniment. – Jake Hodges
‘Conclave’ (2024)
Rotten Tomatoes: 93% | IMDb: 7.4/10
One of the 10 Best Picture nominees at the 2025 Academy Awards, Edward Berger’s Conclave follows the selection process for a new pope following the sad death of the former. What unfolds is a flurry of lies, deception, and gossip as Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) struggles to pull his clergy together. A striking masterpiece of filmmaking hides underneath it a clever, often funny breakdown of the modern Catholic church systems. Featuring a star-studded ensemble highlighted by Fiennes at his Academy Award-nominated best, Conclave is a film you won’t want to miss. – Jake Hodges

One of the highest-rated movies from 2018, Shoplifters follows a group of outsiders living a life of petty theft on the borders of Tokyo. Their existence may be unconventional, but it works — until their son’s arrest makes them rethink their entire lifestyle. A highly intelligent psychological drama, Shoplifters has an enormous amount to say beneath its surface. Boasting an admirable set of ensemble performances and an Academy Award nomination to boot, this is a Japanese drama you won’t want to miss. – Jake Hodges
