Two Jason Statham action thrillers will soon be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Both R-rated movies showcase the actor in roles that lean into his signature tough-guy persona, blending brutal action with high-stakes conflicts.
Jason Statham’s Homefront and Death Race to stream on Prime Video
Homefront and Death Race will begin streaming on Amazon Prime Video from Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, Death Race is a remake of the 1975 cult classic Death Race 2000, which was based on Ib Melchior’s short story titled The Racer. The remake stars Jason Statham, Joan Allen, Tyrese Gibson, Ian McShane, Jason Clarke, and Natalie Martinez, among others.
The movie follows Jensen Ames, an industrial worker and ex-con, who is framed for his wife’s murder and sent to a privatized prison known as Terminal Island Penitentiary. There, he has to compete in a series of races with cars equipped with deadly weapons in exchange for his freedom.
Death Race debuted in theaters on August 22, 2008. Upon release, it received mixed-to-positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, critics gave it 41%, while the audience rated it 60%. At the box office, it made roughly $76 million globally against a reported $45 million budget.
Homefront, on the other hand, is a much more grounded story. It is based on Chuck Logan’s eponymous novel. Gary Fleder directed the adaptation from a screenplay by Sylvester Stallone. The supporting cast includes James Franco, Winona Ryder, Kate Bosworth, Rachelle Lefevre, Frank Grillo, and Clancy Brown, among others.
The story centers on Phil Broker, a former undercover agent, who retires to a quiet rural town with his young daughter, Maddy. After Maddy gets into a fight with a school bully, Broker’s family becomes the target of a local drug dealer.
The movie opened in theaters on November 27, 2013. Like Death Race, Homefront received a similar critical and audience response. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 42% critics’ score and a 61% user score. Made on a $22 million budget, it ended its theatrical run with $48.4 million worldwide.
