Blood Father (2016): Mel Gibson’s Gritty Redemption Ride
Buckle up for a wild ride down memory lane with a modern twist! Remember the Mel Gibson of Lethal Weapon fame? Well, he’s back, badder, and bolder in Blood Father—a French action crime thriller that’s as raw as it gets. Based on Peter Craig’s novel, this English-language gem throws Gibson into the role of John Link, a grizzled ex-con and recovering alcoholic who’ll stop at nothing to save his estranged daughter, Lydia (played by The Boys breakout star Erin Moriarty). When Lydia’s life spirals into a vortex of drugs, booze, and a deadly gang, John unleashes his inner beast to protect her after she accidentally offs her gangster boyfriend, Jonah (Diego Luna).
Cue the high-octane chases, brutal fistfights, and a father-daughter duo on the run from the law—and the mob. With a Certified Fresh Rotten Tomatoes rating, Blood Father is a nostalgic nod to ’90s action flicks, but with a gritty, modern edge that’ll leave you cheering. Fun fact: The Boys fans, this is your chance to see Moriarty in one of her earliest badass roles. Stream it now and feel the rush!

24 Hours to Live (2017): Ethan Hawke’s Sci-Fi Adrenaline Shot
Tick-tock, thrill-seekers—this one’s a literal race against time! If you thought Ethan Hawke was just the brooding indie darling, think again. In 24 Hours to Live, Hawke transforms into Travis, a stone-cold assassin who gets a sci-fi twist on the action genre. Picture this: Travis is killed on the job, only to be resurrected for a mere 24 hours to exact revenge on the shadowy figures who double-crossed him. With a timer on his wrist counting down his final minutes, he kidnaps the doctor tasked with ending him and dives headfirst into a whirlwind of car chases, explosions, and gunfights that’ll have your heart in your throat.
Sure, critics were divided on this one, but let’s be real—who doesn’t love a popcorn flick that’s pure, unadulterated chaos? As Danny King of Village Voice put it, “This is mostly entertaining ridiculousness, threaded together by the reliable Hawke.” If you’re craving a dose of nostalgia with a futuristic edge, this is your ticket. Stream it now and feel the clock ticking!

Memory (2022): Liam Neeson’s Controversial Action Swan Song
Liam Neeson is back, and he’s stirring up trouble—on and off the screen! The king of action thrillers delivers yet another gut-punch in Memory, a film that’s as divisive as it is thrilling. Neeson stars as Alex Lewis, a contract killer grappling with early-onset Alzheimer’s—a premise that’s already sparking heated debates among fans and critics alike. When Alex heads to Texas for what should be a routine hit, he stumbles into a dark web of sex trafficking and the kidnapping of a young girl. What follows is a bloody, heart-wrenching battle as Alex fights to save her—and himself—while his memory deteriorates.
Critics may have panned Memory, but let’s be honest— audiences can’t resist a Liam Neeson action flick, especially when it’s packed with the kind of bloodshed and moral ambiguity that makes you question everything. Is this Neeson’s last hurrah in the action genre, or a bold new chapter? Stream it now and join the controversy—love it or hate it, you won’t forget it.
