TV shows, movies on Prime Video in September
Prime Video has prepared a binge-worthy lineup of shows for its viewers this month. They include:
‘The Grand Tour: One for the Road’
In “The Grand Tour: One For The Road” (Sept. 13), Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May ignore the instructions of Mr. Wilman and head to Zimbabwe in three cars they’ve always wanted to own: a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-litre and a Triumph Stag. They embark on a stunning road trip through beautiful and sometimes challenging landscapes, leading to an emotional ending on a strangely familiar island.
‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’
Based on recently declassified files of the British War Department and inspired by true events, “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” (Sept. 19) is an action-comedy that tells the story of the first-ever special forces team formed during World War II by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials, including author Ian Fleming.
The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly “ungentlemanly” fighting techniques. Ultimately, their audacious approach changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.
Directed, cowritten and coproduced by Guy Ritchie, it stars Henry Cavill, Eiza González, Alan Ritchson, Henry Golding and Alex Pettyfer.
‘Killer Heat’
On a remote Greek island, twin brothers (Madden) are caught in a violent love triangle. A damaged detective known as “The Jealousy Man” (Gordon-Levitt) is brought in to investigate the case.
“Killer Heat” (Sept. 26) is an American crime mystery drama film, directed by Philippe Lacôte and produced by Brad Weston, based on Jo Nesbø’s short story “The Jealousy Man.” The movie stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley and Richard Madden.
‘Previously Saved Version’
Set in the year 2200 A.D., the story of “Previously Saved Version (Sept. 27) unfolds in a future where human migration to space and advanced technology enable memory manipulation.
Naoki and Mayumi, who live in a floating luxury residence in space, are the perfect couple that anyone would admire at first glance. Mayumi enjoys ceramics as a hobby, while Naoki is devoted to his own research.
They are an “ideal” couple that enjoys elegant music, cooking and eating in the dining room. However, their true nature soon reveals the distorted love of the husband, Naoki, who seeks revenge from his wife who used to love him. He turns her into an android to pursue and recreate his ideal version of his narrative.
