Now that John Wick is dead and buried (until he returns for John Wick 5, unless the theories about him battling through hell itself are true), we’re on the hunt for a new elite assassin. And 2026 has given us one, with an all-new and all-original action thriller emerging not only as one of the best assassin films, but one of the best films of the year, period. And, following its theatrical release, we now know when it’ll hit streaming.
Now cemented as nothing less than a modern action thriller masterpiece following rave reviews and a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, this new assassin action thriller takes a more grounded approach than the hyper-stylized gun-fu of Keanu Reeves’ Baba Yaga as it centers on a widower struggling to balance fatherhood with his killer profession.
Coming courtesy of Amazon MGM Studios and starring Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali, the action thriller with a family drama twist is Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother. A peculiar Blade reunion, with both Ali and director Mogul Mowgli’s Bassam Tariq having signed on to, and then subsequently dropping out of, the MCU’s failed reboot of the iconic vampire hunter, Ali gets to put his years of sword-training to good use as the original action hero, Latif, a devoutly religious man who may not have the particular set of skills required to be a single dad and a ruthless hitman.
Following the death of his beloved wife, Latif is forced to embark on a desperate journey across Houston to protect his children, confronting the forces closing in around him and the beliefs threatening to unravel within. Merging the gritty hitman violence of John Wick with a rich character study about a grieving father, Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother is officially “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes with an agonizingly near-perfect 96% from critics, alongside an equally impressive 93% from audiences.

To get you even more excited for the imminent streaming release, a few excerpts from various reactions have hailed Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother as “one of the rare times recently when it feels like we’re in the right part of the multiverse,” “a genuinely fresh take on a well-worn story about a lone assassin,” and, simply, “Perfection.”
