With a fresh month underway, Prime Video is adding a bunch of great movies, giving subscribers plenty to choose from for their weekend viewing. Three titles really stand out for an action-packed movie marathon. I recently highlighted Mercy, I Saw the TV Glow, and Pretty Lethal – each offering something different in terms of genre – as top picks on Prime Video.

I noticed Prime Video has added a lot of great action movies recently. That got me thinking about putting together a list – a three-movie marathon, if you will – perfect for a thrilling Easter weekend at home.

3. Crime 101 (2026)

Currently, the most popular movie on Prime Video, both in the US and globally, is Crime 101. While it only earned $72.3 million in theaters despite a $90 million budget, viewers are now discovering how exciting the film truly is from the comfort of their homes.

Featuring a talented cast including Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, and Barry Keoghan, Crime 101 centers around a jewel thief named Mike (Hemsworth) attempting a final score, while detective Lou (Ruffalo) tries to stop him. The film promises exciting action and unexpected turns, and it’s currently earning high praise with an 89% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

2. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)

As a huge fan of the Mission: Impossible films, I have to say Tom Cruise has done it again! Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning feels like a really epic conclusion to Ethan Hunt’s story. If you’re already invested in this franchise – and honestly, who isn’t? – prepare to be on the edge of your seat! There are so many moments in this movie that genuinely surprised and moved me, it’s a game-changer for sure.

As a huge fan of the Mission: Impossible series, I was on the edge of my seat with The Final Reckoning. Basically, Ethan and his team are in a desperate fight against this incredibly powerful AI – called the Entity – that wants to reshape the world. It sounds complicated, but it delivers a thrilling, non-stop action experience. Seriously, the stunts are insane – only Tom Cruise could do that! – and the movie is packed with great moments for longtime fans, bringing back familiar faces and referencing things from earlier films. It’s a fantastic conclusion to the story so far.
