News culture 8 series and films to watch on Amazon Prime Video in January 2024

Mission Impossible Rogue Nation / Ghost Protocol / Fallout

“Mission Impossible”, a cult saga that needs no introduction, has for some time been carried by Tom Cruise, who plays Ethan Hunt, who is more hot-headed than ever. Here we can’t really say that the secret agent becomes calmer with age and in recent years has provided even more incredible adventures than ever before: Rogue Nation, Ghost Protocol and Fallout are the films that were released in 2011, 2015 and 2018 and taken together, they create a trio of stories to shamelessly devour. It’s spectacular, with very risky stunts and effective twists: real American blockbusters the way we like them, especially with a good pizza in front of you on a rainy Sunday evening.

Express train

Bullet Train is an excellent surprise and will be released in 2022. It is an unbridled action film in which we follow the misadventures of Coccinelle (Brad Pitt), an assassin who only has to take care of a briefcase on a Japanese train. The problem is that, firstly, he has always been extremely unlucky and secondly, nothing will happen as planned: what follows is a deadly manhunt in a very nice atmosphere, flirting between ultra-stylized fights and absurd humor. In addition, the director is none other than David Leitch, who has already proven his know-how with the first films “John Wick”, “Atomic Blonde” and “Deadpool 2”.

The Swamp King’s Daughter

Helena Petterier leads a good life with her husband and daughter, but she has come a long way: she was raised and held hostage by a notorious criminal for years. When he escapes from prison and commits several murders, Helena is forced to face her past in order to protect her family in all cases: “The Marsh King’s Daughter” promises to be a powerful, gray trailer that deals with deals with not the easiest of topics (Stockholm Syndrome, to name just one) and highlights a nice cast with Daisy Ridley (Star Wars), Ben Mendelsohn (The Place Beyond the Pines) and Garrett Hedlund (Tron). Another guarantee of quality: the presence of Neil Burger in the production, who, for example, already celebrated success with Limitless in 2011.

Elysium

Before directing the adaptation of “Gran Turismo” this year, the South African Neill Blomkamp was best known for his science fiction works: he signed the popular District 9, but also Chappie, or therefore Elysium. The latter was released in 2013 and features Matt Damon as the standard bearer alongside other stars such as Jodie Foster and Alice Braga. In 2154, the world has never been so divided: on the one hand, the super-rich living on the space station Elysium, and on the other, everyone living in the vast poverty that the planet’s surface has gradually become . Max belongs to this last category and, tired of surviving in a society tormented by poverty and crime, will decide to accept a dangerous mission entrusted to him that could well change everything. Quite a visually impressive blockbuster that shouldn’t keep you busy, especially if you like science fiction.

One Piece Movie: Red

The One Piece saga is as long as an arm (even several arms) and has also been released in cinemas, such as with this 2022 feature film directed by Goro Taniguchi.

Expats (Prime Video Original Series)

Paying Nicole Kidman to be the figurehead of a television series is enough to get people talking: “Expats” and its six episodes are set in Hong Kong and feature several women living abroad, all connected by an intense friendship. But not everything is necessarily going well here, on site: some people’s pasts mysteriously resurface, the doom is felt and certain challenges have to be overcome with difficulty: you will notice that it is Lulu Wang who is directing, she , which has already shone with L’Adieu – The Farewell in 2019.
