10 Must-Watch Action Movies on Amazon Prime Video Right Now (May 2025)

Detective Matt Scudder (Liam Neeson) is sober and eager to stay out of trouble. But when a fellow AA member, Peter Kristo (Boyd Holbrook), asks him to find his brother’s missing wife, Matt can’t resist the urge to help. He soon regrets his altruistic nature,  as he is pulled into a conspiracy involving drug trafficking, blackmail and murder that could harm Matt and everyone he loves. Will Matt walk among the tombstones, or end up lying in one himself?

At first glance, A Walk Among the Tombstones looks like your typical Liam Neeson action movie, but the film is more somber and reflective than Taken or Non-Stop. That’s due to the writer/director, Scott Frank, who gives the movie the same intelligence and complexity he brought to his earlier works, like The Lookout and Out of Sight with George Clooney. A Walk Among the Tombstones is a terrific action movie with real gravitas — people get killed, and you feel the full weight of their bloody deaths.
