3 best new to Prime Video thriller movies this week‘The Great Escape’ (1963)<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always appreciated that Prime Video respects the classics. More than any of its rivals, the Amazon-owned platform adds a steady clip of yesteryear favorites, and this month the list includes \u201cThe Great Escape.\u201d This 1963 epic starring Steve McQueen is iconic for both its breathtaking motorcycle chase sequence \u2014 remember this was created before the days of CGI \u2014 and its earworm theme tune, which you\u2019re probably humming to yourself right now.<\/p>\n

In \u201cThe Great Escape,\u201d McQueen plays Captain Virgil Hilts, an American POW known as \u201cThe Cooler King\u201d for his habit of getting thrown into solitary confinement. Set during World War II in a German prisoner of war camp under the watch of Colonel von Luger (Hannes Messemer), a group of Allied soldiers plots a daring escape that involves digging three underground tunnels to crawl to freedom. Alongside McQueen, the classic stars James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson and Donald Pleasence.<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Director David Leitch helms this stylish action-thriller that mixes the one-man-army action highs of \u201cJohn Wick\u201d with a well-realized 1980s Berlin setting; specifically, it\u2019s set in November 1989, just days before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Also, the figure blasting through scores of assailants is no man. Instead, \u201cAtomic Blonde\u201d stars Charlize Theron, playing a skilled MI6 agent, Lorraine Broughton. And she\u2019s every bit as lethal as a certain Mr. Wick.<\/p>\n

Broughton is dispatched to Berlin, a city on the cusp of being reunited, to retrieve a watch stolen by a KGB agent. But this timepiece is more than a fancy accessory; it holds the name of every active intelligence agent in Berlin, so its return is of paramount importance. Once on the scene, Lorraine links up with a fellow MI6 agent, Percival (James McAvoy), and is drawn into a dangerous spy game where the line between friend and foe blurs.<\/p>\n

\n\"Collateral<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Michael Mann delivered an enduring ultra-cool thriller in the genre classic \u201cHeat,\u201d but his 2004 effort \u201cCollateral\u201d shouldn\u2019t be overlooked either. Starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx, the latter securing an Oscar nomination for his performance, it\u2019s an intense crime movie in which an ordinary man finds himself dragged into an increasingly murky situation. And it gives the usually heroic Cruise a chance to flex his acting muscles as a memorable villain.<\/p>\n

Max (Foxx) is an L.A. cab driver whose evening takes a dramatic twist when he picks up a passenger named Vincent (Cruise). Initially, Max believes he\u2019s driving Vincent to a series of business meetings. However, it\u2019s revealed the passenger is actually a hit man, in the city to eliminate a series of high-profile targets. It\u2019s up to Max to find a way to stop him. Elevated beyond its simplistic setup by two strong performances, \u201cCollateral\u201d is slickly crafted and does a great job ratcheting up the stakes across its two-hour runtime.<\/p>\n
