While fans eagerly await the return of Slow Horses later this year, Prime Video offers a Gary Oldman fix right now with Hunter Killer. It’s not a new Jackson Lamb story, but it’s a good option to keep you entertained in the meantime.
The 2018 thriller, featuring Gerard Butler, Common, and Linda Cardellini, tells the story of a submarine crew and Navy SEALs working together to save the Russian president from a takeover. While critics weren’t impressed, audiences really enjoyed it.
One IMDb user praised the performances of Gerard Butler and Gary Oldman, noting that the entire cast delivered strong performances. They also appreciated the film’s fast pace and constant action and suspense, saying the 122-minute runtime felt very quick.

Once you’ve seen Hunter Killer, maybe you’ll find you side more with the critics.
Okay, so I just checked Rotten Tomatoes, and honestly, this thriller is getting roasted. It’s at a measly 38% based on 115 reviews. The critics basically say it’s a pretty standard action movie – nothing new or exciting, and it feels like we’ve seen this all before. Not a great sign if you’re looking for something fresh!
The Associated Press described the film as over-the-top and flashy, filled with tired tropes, unbelievable political and diplomatic situations, and fast-paced, video game-like action. They also noted that it’s often so ridiculous it’s surprisingly enjoyable.
The New York Times noted that despite its complicated political backdrop, Hunter Killer succeeds as a fast-paced, entertaining action movie.
Hunter Killer is available to watch now on Prime Video.
