Army of One

Army of One is currently streaming in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Bloodstream, and it earns its set pieces rather than just delivering them. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 219 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Ellen Hollman is the obvious draw, but the supporting cast gives the action its context. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Army of One earns its spot. The choreography in Army of One serves the story instead of interrupting it. Out hiking, Special Forces Brenner Baker stumbles onto a Cartel's compound. Her husband's killed and she's left for dead. The Cartel made two mistakes, killed her husband and left her alive. Ellen Hollman and Matt Passmore lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2020. The action sequences are expensive-looking without drawing attention to their own budget — they serve the story rather than interrupting it. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Action fans who want craft and story alongside the spectacle will find exactly that in Army of One. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Ellen Hollman's performance is the throughline that holds the bigger action elements together. Give it twenty minutes and decide — most viewers do not stop there.
