"Is God Is" is a poignant revenge thriller that's stylish as hell with an all-Black cast and Black writer/director. And while it doesn't entirely still the landing, the comedy fantasy "Good Fortune" starring Keanu Reeves and Aziz Ansari is good for a laugh this weekend.For even more streaming recommendations, check out everything new on Prime Video in August.
