The Beekeeper, Carry-On, and other movies to watch if you like Prime Video’s Red One
1) The Fall Guy (2024)
Inspired by the 1980s television series, David Leitch and Drew Pearce wrote the script for the 2024 action-comedy The Fall Guy.
The plot revolves around a stuntman (Ryan Gosling) who is involved in a conspiracy involving the film's star actor (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) as he is directing his ex-girlfriend's (Emily Blunt) first action movie.
With a stuntman at the center of a conspiracy, this action-comedy offers exciting scenes and clever banter similar to Red One.
Where to watch: Apple TV+, Prime Video
2) The Beekeeper (2024)
David Ayer directed the action thriller The Beekeeper. The film stars Jason Statham, Josh Hutcherson, Bobby Naderi, Phylicia Rashad, Jemma Redgrave, and Emmy Raver-Lampman, among others.
The movie centers on a former covert human intelligence agent and his pursuit of justice after his generous landlady falls for a phishing scheme that embezzles millions of dollars from her charity.
When a guy is exposed as a former member of the powerful and covert group known as the "Beekeepers," his vicious quest for vengeance assumes national proportions.
The Beekeeper is a terrific choice if viewers liked Red One's mix of action and personal vengeance. Both movies include fierce, unyielding heroes who are on a mission.

3) Carry-On (2024)
The action thriller Carry-On was written and directed by T.J. Fixman and Jaume Collet-Serra. Starring in the movie are Jason Bateman, Danielle Deadwyler, Sofia Carson, and Taron Egerton.
The story revolves around a rookie TSA worker who, on Christmas Eve, gets blackmailed. A mysterious traveler is forced to let a dangerous item slip onboard a flight on Christmas Eve as the airport security guard tries to outsmart him.
Similar to Red One, Carry-On centers on a dangerous scenario that develops throughout the course of the holidays, where characters are pushed into difficult circumstances.

4) Day Shift (2022)
Jamie Foxx plays a blue-collar parent whose pool-cleaning job is a front for his employment as a vampire hunter in the action-comedy-horror movie Day Shift. Dave Franco, Snoop Dogg, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Meagan Good, Karla Souza, Steve Howey, and Scott Adkins are also featured in the movie.
Bud Jablonski (Foxx) has one week to find the money for his child's braces and tuition. He meets formidable obstacles and unexpected friends in his battle against the undead as he manages his perilous double life.
With Red One's blend of holiday cheer and supernatural dangers and Day Shift's vampire-hunting action-comedy, both movies provide a distinctive spin on comedy and action genres.
Where to watch: Netflix
5) Bullet Train (2022)
Directed by David Leitch, the action-comedy Bullet Train is based on the second book in Isaka's Hitman trilogy, the first of which was made into the 2015 Japanese movie Grasshopper. It is based on the 2010 book Maria Beetle (known as Bullet Train in the UK and US versions), written by Kōtarō Isaka.
The movie stars Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Sandra Bullock, among others. It is about a group of assassins on the JR Central Shinkansen who end up at odds with one another.
Brad Pitt plays Ladybug, an unfortunate assassin attempting to carry out his task amicably. However, destiny has other ideas, as his most recent job—on the fastest train in the world—places him in the path of lethal opponents with opposing objectives.
Bullet Train is a great choice if viewers enjoyed Red One's action and ensemble cast. Like Red One, Bullet Train is a fast-paced, high-energy movie.
Where to watch: Netflix, Apple TV+, Prime Video
6) Violent Night
Tommy Wirkola is the director of the Christmas action comedy Violent Night.
The story follows David Harbour's character, Santa Claus, as he fights against mercenaries who have kidnapped a wealthy family in their home. The film also stars Beverly D'Angelo, Alex Hassell, and John Leguizamo.
It is a movie that most closely mirrors the tone of Red One. Like Red One, Violent Night combines a dark, action-driven storyline with holiday elements, where Santa takes control of the situation.
