John Wick
John is a simple man. Still in mourning for his wife, he put away his past as a hitman to cherish his dog Daisy and pamper his vintage car. But when a band of thugs enter his home to steal his precious Ford Mustang and above all, kill his beagle, John has only one thing in mind: revenge.
It’s Keanu Reeves at the top of his game that we find in the John Wick trilogy, available today on Prime Video. Wielding firearms and endowed with an unparalleled sense of timing, this anti-hero leads his murderous run for our greatest pleasure. 3 films that are full of ideas, always more innovative in combat choreographies and staging effects, and which will welcome a new opus scheduled for 2024.

Impossible mission
How not to mention Mission Impossible when talking about thrilling movies? Designed like real roller coasters, the episodes of Ethan Hunt’s adventures are an opportunity to push the limits of staging and suspense… And we want more!
In the 6 feature films, all planetary successes, Tom Cruise embodies a special agent of the Mission Impossible Force. The actor also puts his person, not hesitating to perform his own stunts. Helped by his acolytes Luther (Ving Rhames), Benji (Simon Pegg), and Ilsa (Rebecca Ferguson), Agent Hunt is sent all over the world to thwart the plans of the greatest criminals. Often forced to act in the shadows, he resorts to subterfuge and the art of disguise as much as the strong way.
Originally, Mission Impossible was a television series broadcast between 1966 and 1973. The cinema saga takes up all the codes: the cult music, the burning wick of the credits, and the famous line “Your mission, if you accept it… ”. With the exception of the 2nd installment, all Mission Impossible are to be rediscovered on Prime Video. The best way to wait until the release of Mission Impossible 7 in 2023!

transformers
Two factions of alien robots, the Decepticons and the Autobots, land on Earth to seize an overpowered cube. These robots have the particularity of metamorphosing into vehicles, thus mimicking cars, helicopters and other trucks at will. In a spectacular struggle, the friendly Autobots led by Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, try to preserve the Earth threatened by the Decepticons, on their side much more inclined to total destruction.
If we are used to seeing derivative products from our favorite films, the process is sometimes reversed: Transformers was originally a line of toys from the 1980s! Marked by this universe, Michael Bay directs the 5 main parts of the franchise, all available on Prime Video. All carried by a rather impressive cast: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Mark Wahlberg, John Turturro, Anthony Hopkins…

Expendables
If there is a saga that can be described as explosive, it is Expendables! A simple glance at the cast of the trilogy makes it possible to understand that we are on very, very heavy ground: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Terry Crews… With, in each episode, new prestigious names, such as Jean-Claude Van Damme, Harrison Ford or even Mel Gibson.
Each of the members of the elite unit has his specialty: close combat, heavy machine guns, through the handling of explosives. A spectacular outburst of action tinged with a good dose of second degree. A 4th opus, currently in production, will focus on the adventures of Lee Christmas, played by Jason Statham.
