9 Underrated Jason Momoa Movies Fans Need to See

Here are some of the Jason Momoa films that didn't make it to every headline but are every bit as intriguing.

1. Road to Paloma (2014)

The movie centers around a Native American man named Wolf who takes justice into his own hands after his mother is raped and murdered. So, he's on the run from the FBI on his motorcycle, cruising through the American West. Along the way, he picks up a musician named Cash and the two form a bromance of sorts. Things take a wild turn when they save a woman named Magdalena from her abusive boyfriend.

2. Conan the Barbarian (2011)

The film kicks off with Conan being born on the battlefield – literally. Fast-forward to his village being destroyed and his father murdered by this warlord Khalar Zym. Conan grows up with one thing on his mind: revenge. Along the way, he rescues Tamara, a monk who's the key to Zym's wicked plans to resurrect his sorceress wife.

3. Debug (2014)

Debug is a sci-fi horror number. A group of six young computer hackers are sent to work on a derelict spaceship as a form of punishment. Easy-peasy, right? Nope. The ship's AI has gone rogue and plans to reboot itself, which in layman's terms means wiping out humanity. The kids are racing against time to debug the system, all while dealing with their own interpersonal issues.

4. Bullet to the Head (2012)

Sylvester Stallone plays a hitman named Jimmy Bobo, and Momoa is Keegan, a mercenary out to settle scores. After Jimmy and his partner kill a corrupt cop, Keegan takes out the partner, setting Jimmy on a quest for vengeance. Enter Taylor Kwon, a detective, and suddenly we've got an unlikely duo. They're both after Keegan, who's a henchman for a corrupt real estate mogul. Cars explode, people get stabbed, and there's enough testosterone to fill a swimming pool.

5. Wolves (2014)

This movie is like Teen Wolf but with more angst. The film centers around Cayden, an 18-year-old who turns into a werewolf and accidentally kills his parents. He hits the road to find his origins and lands in a town called Lupine Ridge. It's not long before he discovers the town is full of werewolves. He learns about an ongoing feud between two wolf packs and gets stuck right in the middle.

6. Sugar Mountain (2016)

Two broke brothers, Miles and Liam, fake a disappearance in the wilderness so they can have a great survival story to sell. But a wrench is thrown into the gears – Liam's girlfriend, Lauren, is in on the scheme, and things get complicated, to put it lightly. Enter Joe Bright, a menacing fisherman they owe money to, and you've got a ticking time bomb of tension. They've gotta stick to their story, dodge the law, and keep Joe off their backs.

7. The Bad Batch (2016)

The Bad Batch is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where society's rejects are sent to fend for themselves. Arlen, our protagonist, gets captured by a group of cannibals. She escapes but loses an arm and a leg in the process. She eventually finds comfort in a place literally called Comfort, led by a cult-like figure.

8. Braven (2018)

Joe Braven, a logging company owner, takes his dad to their mountain cabin to have a father-son weekend. Unbeknownst to them, one of Joe's employees stashed a bag of heroin in the cabin, and now a gang of drug traffickers wants it back. So, it's Joe and his dad against these armed baddies, Home Alone style but with more guns and blood.

9. Once Upon a Time in Venice (2017)

Momoa plays a character named Spyder in this action-comedy that revolves around a Los Angeles private investigator named Steve Ford. When Steve's dog is stolen by a notorious gang, he's got no choice but to work for Spyder to get his furry friend back. What ensues is a hilariously convoluted chain of events involving drug dealers, hired killers, and even a real estate mogul. Steve has to skate (literally, at one point) through all these obstacles just for the love of his dog. Imagine Bruce Willis on a skate; no, scratch that, you gotta see it to believe it.
