Three underrated films on Amazon Prime Video that you should check out this May 2025.

      Searching for a great movie to enjoy this month? These three lesser-known films on Amazon Prime Video may not have caught your attention, but they could be worth your time. One is an animated film that didn't receive the recognition it deserved for family viewing. After the family-friendly flick, you can check out two thrillers once the kids are in bed.

      Since titles are frequently added and removed from Amazon Prime Video, these selections may not be available for long, so take the opportunity to watch them while you can.

      Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse (2021)

      Michael B. Jordan stars in this action thriller that took 20 years to come to fruition. The end product, Without Remorse, is a compelling adaptation of Tom Clancy’s 1993 novel of the same name. The plot follows John Kelly (Jordan), a U.S. Navy SEAL on a mission to avenge the murder of his wife and fellow team members by Russian assassins.

      Jordan's performance drew acclaim, although the film received mixed reviews for having a somewhat generic storyline. For fans of action-packed films, this is exactly what you desire: a lot of excitement and an engaging lead. If you're looking for a change from the usual Tom Cruise, Jason Statham, and Liam Neeson movies, Without Remorse offers a refreshing alternative that reinforces Jordan’s reputation as a true action star.

      Spinning Man (2018)

      Guy Pearce, noted for a standout performance in 2024, takes the lead in Spinning Man as Evan Birch, a respected college professor who becomes the prime suspect in the disappearance of a high school student. Featuring a cast that includes Pierce Brosnan, Minnie Driver, Clark Gregg, and Jamie Kennedy, Spinning Man had a limited release, resulting in a smaller audience than it might have reached otherwise.

      While it's a storyline that's been explored frequently in film and television, Spinning Man received mixed to negative reviews. Nonetheless, with such a talented cast, it’s certainly worth a watch.

      Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (2022)

      For kids, entertaining characters, funny scenes, and a charming story are key. Hotel Transylvania: Transformania delivers all of this. As the fourth film in the series, this animated adventure-comedy directly follows Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation. One drawback is that Adam Sandler did not reprise his role as Count Dracula; instead, Brian Hull voices the iconic vampire.

      Production of this film occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, and after a delay, it went straight to streaming. Consequently, Hotel Transylvania didn’t receive the recognition it deserved. However, the most important thing is that your children will enjoy it. Plus, all four Hotel Transylvania films are currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, making it perfect for a movie marathon weekend.
