As Amazon continues the year 2023 with more movies coming to Prime Video in February, including original films featuring NASCAR racing legends, journeys of introspection, on-the-air murders, lots of laughs from Kevin Hart, and more, so we have plenty coming next month.
In first place is Rowdy, the documentary about racing legend Kyle Busch as he gets past career-ending injuries that will come on the third. Next in line is On the Line, where a radio host has to save the lives of his family on the air in this suspense-thriller on the eighth. Following close will be the hilarious midlife crisis and deep journey into the self in Somebody I Used To Know. After that comes Bandit, the true-crime tale of the man who escaped prison to rob the most banks in a row in history. Last but not least comes Die Hart: The Movie, where Kevin Hart seeks a different more exciting than comedy, and gets more than he bargained for. Here's everything we know about these movies coming to Prime Video in February 2023.
Rowdy (Feb. 3)
The two-time NASCAR champion Kyle Busch will take the Prime spotlight first on February 3 (on Amazon Freevee) in the detailed documentary Rowdy as he confronts his own physical limitations with his possible career-ending injuries from a wreck back in 2015. Featuring interviews with some of the most influential NASCAR legends, including Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon, as well as from friends and family and Busch himself about his life on and off the racetrack, we will look into the career of this polarizing champion as he finds his way back to winning more Cup Series Championships.
On the Line (Feb. 8)
On the Line will come to Prime Video on February 8. It will follow radio host Elvis Cooney (Mel Gibson) as he answers a life-changing call from Gary (Paul Spera). Gary tells Elvis that he has his family hostage at home and threatens to blow up the whole station if he doesn't do as he told on the air.
When he finds old friends dead in the station, hears his family killed, and only has his assistant and intern by his side, Elvis begins his hunt for the maniac in the station. An engaging suspense thriller with the wildest twist(s) ending that has divided viewers, On the Line is worth the watch.
Somebody I Used To Know (Feb. 10)
Somebody I Used To Know is the romantic comedy coming to Prime Video on February 10. It follows workaholic Ally (Alison Brie), who fails in her filming career, and returns to her hometown to forget it all. She comes home to the place and the people she left behind years ago, finally directing all the energy she spent on her job to herself as she discovers herself. She reconnects with her first love Sean (Jay Ellis), who helps her to remember all that she had forgotten and made her so creative to take a filming career in the first place, and she questions everything she's done. But this rekindled fire gets really complicated when Ally finds out Sean is about to marry another woman. Everything is upended for her, as her career is gone, she doesn't want to go back, and she's caught in a love triangle while trying to figure out herself.
Directed by Brie's husband Dave Franco, Somebody I Used To Know (their fourth project together) is basically a story of a midlife crisis, but beautifully told. Ally goes back to her hometown to find herself, she falls in love again not just with Sean, but with her home, and is just trying to get herself back together, something we might all relate to.
Bandit (Feb. 22)
Bandit comes to Prime Video on February 22. Based on the real-life story of Gilbert Galvin Jr. (Josh Duhamel), the criminal who escaped an American prison to start fresh in Canada, robbing banks and jewelry stores while being hunted by a police task force. With the help of loan shark Tommy Kay (Mel Gibson), Galvin robs high-security places an incredible number of times, currently holding the record for most consecutive and successful robberies in the country which we can follow in this true crime thriller.
Die Hart: The Movie (Feb. 24)
Die Hart: The Movie, the condensed version of the series Die Hart, is coming to Prime Video on February 24. It follows a fictional version of comedian Kevin Hart who tries to step away from comedy to be an action star. Kevin attends the "Action Hero School" run by Ron Wilcox (John Travolta) and tries to figure out how to be the world's most famous action hero. The series was a hilarious crowd-pleaser and will be receiving a sequel: Die Hart 2: Die Harter.
Amazon has a lot to offer on Prime Video in the film department next month, with all this and more streaming in February.
