There are still a few months left in the year, but 2025 has already been a great year for action movies in theaters. Action-packed and exhilarating titles like Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Thunderbolts*, Jurassic World Rebirth, and Superman have packed cinemas and become blockbuster hits, and they’re starting to trickle into streaming. Fans now have one more film to watch at home after one of the best action movies of 2025 starring a big-name star just made its streaming debut on Prime Video.

The movie in question is A Working Man, the 2025 adaptation of Chuck Dixon’s 2014 novel Levon’s Trade. The film was released in theaters on March 28, 2025, and started streaming on Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service on September 3rd. Directed by David Ayer, who co-wrote the screenplay with Sylvester Stallone, A Working Man stars Jason Statham as Levon Cade, who left his decorated military career in the Royal Marines to lead a simple life as a construction foreman in Chicago. But when his boss’s daughter is kidnapped by human traffickers, he is pulled back to his military skills and works to bring her back home, uncovering a world of corruption far greater than he ever could have imagined.
Why You Should Watch A Working Man
A Working Man wasn’t the blockbuster hit that some of Statham’s other acting movies are, and it didn’t receive much praise from critics, but the movie is reliably entertaining and a classic Statham action that any fan of his will love. The actor puts his action experience on full display as he steps into a character type that is familiar to fans. The movie’s strength undeniably lies in Statham’s brutal, unflinching, and heart-pounding performance, but the film is also a crowd-pleaser due to its intense and satisfying action sequences, Ayer’s direction, and overall spectacle, leading to a movie with great entertainment value.
A Working Man grossed $98 million worldwide, just doubling its reported $40 million budget, a number that put it far and away from Statham’s top-grossing films, like the blockbuster hits The Meg and Furious 7. The movie was also met with mixed reviews from critics and only holds a 47% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, A Working Man has been overwhelmingly well-received by audience members and holds a “Verified Hot” distinction on the review aggregator site with an 87% audience rating.
Other Action Movies Now on Prime Video
September at Prime Video is an action-packed month. The Amazon streamer’s content lineup for the next several weeks includes several hit action movies, and two major action franchises just landed on Prime Video. September 1st saw the arrival of four Death Wish movies – Death Wish II (1982), Death Wish 3 (1985), Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (1987), and Death Wish (2018). The franchise follows Paul Kersey, portrayed by Charles Bronson in the original series and later by Bruce Willis, an architect-turned-vigilante determined to deliver the justice the police won’t.
Prime Video is now also streaming most of the Bourne franchise, including The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), and The Bourne Legacy (2012). The franchise stars Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, a character created by Robert Ludlum.
