Best Ana de Armas Movies to Watch This Weekend

Ana de Armas has only gone up since her early days on screen. From her breakout role to landing the lead in John Wick spin-off Ballerina, she’s quickly becoming one of the top female action stars in Hollywood, and it wouldn’t be surprising if she ends up leading her own action franchise soon. Here are a few of her best films to stream this weekend.

Knives Out (2019)

Knives Out is a modern whodunit starring Ana De Armas, Chris Evans, and Daniel Craig. When a rich author turns up dead after leaving his entire wealth to his nurse, a detective is called to find the killer. The film is clever, humorous, and full of plot twists you’ll never see coming.

Knock Knock (2015)

Ballerina isn’t the only movie where Keanu Reeves and Ana de Armas share strong on-screen chemistry. Another one to note is Knock Knock from 2015. In this psychological thriller, two young women show up at a man’s home during a storm, pretending to need help, only to slowly turn his world upside down and trap him in his own house.

Blonde (2022)

In Blonde, Ana de Armas takes on what’s probably the most challenging and unforgettable role of her career, playing Marilyn Monroe, the iconic actress who once charmed the world. The film is raw, emotional, and doesn’t shy away from the harsh truths. Ana delivers a powerful performance showing both Marilyn’s pain, struggles, and the darker side of fame. It also exposes the troubling era in Hollywood, where powerful men often took advantage of young, rising stars. ‘

Sergio (2020)

Sergio by Greg Barker tells the real-life story of Sergio Vieira de Mello, a well-respected UN diplomat who tries to help rebuild Iraq after the U.S. invasion. Wagner Moura plays Sergio while Ana de Armas takes on the role of Carolina, his partner. The film balances both politics and personal struggles, though it sometimes leans more romantic than revealing. 

Deep Water (2022)

It’s still a bit of a mystery why Deep Water didn’t get more love, because it’s actually a solid thriller with some clever twists. Ana de Armas plays Melinda Van Allen, a woman whose husband oddly allows her to have multiple affairs, but when her lovers go missing, suspicion quickly falls on the couple, and things get intense. It’s definitely worth a watch, especially knowing it comes from the same director who gave us Fatal Attraction, Unfaithful, and Jacob’s Ladder.

Ghosted (2023)

Like most rom-coms, Ghosted kicks off with a sweet and charming moment between the two leads, Cole, a kind-hearted farmer, and Sadie, a woman he meets by chance. However, it turns out Sadie is actually a CIA agent on a mission to catch a dangerous criminal, and Cole unexpectedly gets dragged into the chaos. The film is full of clever action scenes, and it definitely looks the part of a big-budget adventure.
