Born and raised between Indonesia and Singapore, Dyah is no stranger to different cultures. She now resides in the small town of Kendal with her husband and four cats, where she spends her free time cooking or cycling.

Family reunions are supposed to be fun, but The Wrecking Crew turns a trip to Hawaii into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Starring two of Hollywood's biggest titans, half-brothers James (Dave Bautista) and Johnny (Jason Momoa) are far from being on good terms. James is a respected US Navy SEAL, while Johnny is a suspended police detective. When they learn of their father's death, they realize he was pulled into a dangerous, gambling-related conspiracy.

Before uncovering the truth, the brothers must confront their bitter past and personal issues. After all, they're not exactly helping anyone with their hurt egos. The Wrecking Ball is a new addition to a long line of rivalry-turned-partnership films, especially with human lives at stake. Without further ado, here are the movies to watch if you love Prime Video's The Wrecking Crew.

1 'Central Intelligence' (2016)

Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson in 'Central Intelligence'

Calvin Joyner (Kevin Hart) was truly the golden boy of Central High School. Fast-forward 20 years. Calvin is now married and working as an unfulfilled accountant. The last thing he wants to do is attend his high school reunion. But when Bob Stone, a.k.a. Robbie Weirdicht (Dwayne Johnson), the former school outcast-turned-rogue CIA agent, shows up out of nowhere, Calvin is unwillingly pulled into a heated vigilante mission against the CIA itself and shadowy terrorists.

Hart and Johnson's iconic chemistry is the film’s saving grace, with the two actors constantly ping-ponging each other's energy. The insecure, high school has-been Calvin is swept into Robbie's chaotic schemes, getting caught in a literal crossfire, speed chases, and just the general spy mayhem.

2 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.' (2015)

No rivalry is more historical than between the United States and the Soviet Union. Set in 1963 at the height of the Cold War, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. follows CIA agent Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and volatile KGB operative Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer), bitter rivals forced to work together for a greater cause.

Their mission begins when Solo smuggles mechanic Gaby Teller (Alicia Vikander) out of East Berlin, believing she can lead them to her missing father, a nuclear scientist. All roads point to an international crime syndicate that plans on using the scientist's knowledge to develop a deadly weapon. Solo and Kuryakin might've shared a bitter, blood-filled rivalry, but the fate of the world depends on these two polar opposites.

3 'Heads of State' (2025)

John Cena and Idris Elba in Heads of State

When two of the most powerful leaders are nowhere to be found, the world is on the brink of diplomatic collapse. Heads of State introduces UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena). For Sam, he doesn't take his role as the country's PM lightly — which is why he isn't a big fan of Will's rise from movie star to politician.

Although they have their own opinions about each other, the two must put their differences aside when they're caught in a hijacked plane. Following an attack on Air Force One, the heads of state are presumed dead and stranded in Eastern Europe. Meanwhile, Russian arms dealer Viktor Gradov (Paddy Considine) is about to seize control of one of the most powerful surveillance systems in the world.

4 'Wolfs' (2024)

Brad Pitt and George Clooney sitting across from one another at a table in a diner.

Wolfs follows rival fixers Jack (George Clooney) and Nick (Brad Pitt), both summoned to clean up a disaster in New York City. After Manhattan district attorney Margaret (Amy Ryan) wakes up to a dead young man in her penthouse, she calls her trusted problem-solver. However, the quick fixing gets complicated when a second fixer arrives, hired by the hotel to protect its interests.

Forced to cooperate, the two lone wolves clash over methods, ego, and who's the better fixer. As the night spirals, the two realize that the body they're supposed to get rid of might not be dead at all. With only until dawn to fix their mistakes, Jack and Nick must work together before they get caught by the cops.

5 'The Nice Guys' (2016)

The Nice Guys makes detective work cool again. Set in the hot and vibrant Los Angeles during the 1970s, clumsy single father Holland March (Ryan Gosling) doesn't play by the book. Notorious for his incompetence and lack of moral compass, Holland is hired to investigate the supposed suicide of adult film actress Misty Mountains (Murielle Telio).

His investigation brings him into contact with Amelia (Margaret Qualley) and crosses paths with Jackson Healey (Russell Crowe), a tough, no-frills enforcer who's more than happy to use his fists. When Amelia suddenly goes missing, the plot thickens. In a city infamous for its vices and the people who fall for them, The Nice Guys are about to do some very bad things to get to the truth.

6 'Rush Hour' (1998)

Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan in 'Rush Hour'

It's the ultimate East-meets-West killer combo in Rush Hour. When the young daughter of the Chinese consul is kidnapped in Los Angeles, Hong Kong Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) is brought in to help recover her. The FBI, wary of outsiders, assigns him to work with James Carter (Chris Tucker), a loud, reckless LAPD detective known for breaking the rules.

Lee and James couldn't be any more different. Coming from two different worlds, it's not rare for the two to encounter cultural clashes, be it language or just the way they do things in the police. But with a crime lord pulling the strings, Lee's discipline and martial-arts precision must combine Carter's street smarts and impulsiveness.

7 'The Union' (2024)

Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry standing close with their faces inches apart

No one expects to run into an ex tied to a secret intelligence agency, but Mike (Mark Wahlberg) does in The Union. Wanting a quiet, drama-free life, he's content with a modest construction job in New Jersey. That calm disappears when Roxanne (Halle Berry), his high school sweetheart and former love, suddenly reappears.

While Mike is instantly smitten, Roxanne isn't seeking romance. She needs help. As an operative for the Union, a covert organization tackling missions outside the CIA and FBI. Desperate for assistance, she pulls Mike into a European cat-and-mouse chase packed with spies, gunfire, and chaos. Secretly, Mike hopes that by the time they're done with this mission, the two will rekindle their long-forgotten spark.

8 'Red Notice' (2021)

Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds), John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson), and Sarah Black/The Bishop (Gal Gadot), standing seriously in Red Notice

The search for the world's most mysterious art thief goes all sorts of sideways in Red Notice. When an Interpol Red Notice is issued, FBI profiler John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson) launches a globe-trotting manhunt. His pursuit goes sideways when he's forced to team up with smooth-talking rival thief Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds).

Nolan might not be on John's good side, but the two share a common enemy: the infamous Bishop (Gal Gadot). With a penchant for double-crossing everyone, John and Nolan are ultimately framed and imprisoned together by Bishop. While the authorities start to question John's innocence, he has no other choice but to work with Nolan, who has long studied Bishop's mischievous criminal tactics.

9 'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw' (2019)

Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham walking together in Hobbs and Shaw.

Unlikely allies Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) are forced to work together in Hobbs & Shaw. The Fast & Furious spin-off takes place after a bioweapon is stolen, with rogue MI6 agent Hattie Shaw (Vanessa Kirby) becoming linked to the virus. Failure to secure the lethal pathogen might potentially cause half of the world's population to wipe out.

Together, the two must stop Brixton (Idris Elba), a cyber-enhanced operative working for a secret syndicate threatening global collapse. A breath of fresh air from the original films, Hobbs & Shaw is what happens when two of the franchise's biggest enemies must put their egos and guns aside to save a common rival.

10 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' (2015)

The Brits know a thing or two about doing spywork with style. Kingsman: The Secret Service follows misfit Gary "Eggsy" Unwin (Taron Egerton), a working-class South London kid who's constantly getting into trouble with the authorities. His life changes when he meets Harry Hart (Colin Firth), a sharply dressed agent for the secret intelligence group Kingsman.

Recruited into their brutal training program, Eggsy must compete against elite candidates while learning the true values of a good spy. Despite not coming from a privileged background, Eggsy's good intentions are more than enough proof to win over the stern Harry. An underdog handed a second chance in life, Eggsy has a lot to learn before facing evil tech billionaire Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson).
