Inmates in a vertical prison rely on food coming from the platforms above them. However, the prisoners above eat way more than their share, leaving those below to survive off of the scraps. This seemed like a simple enough Spanish sci-fi film in the beginning. Then a rebellion breaks out, causing things to go from weird and tense to violently chaotic. The Platform is a lot to chew on and gives the audience a lot to unpack.

Netflix has so much upsetting content that this list could go on for days. I left off Silent Hill, which is so many levels of WTF and you should also revisit before the next one drops. I also have been hearing good things about Disappear Completely and need to check it out this weekend. Enough about me though. What are your favorite disturbing movies on the streamer this month? Let me know at @misssharai.

Extraction 2 is a definite improvement on the first, with positive reviews and a nomination for a Hollywood Critics Association Midseason Film Award under its belt. The movie has so much gunplay and brutal fighting, along with numerous mind-blowing set pieces, that your arm will get absolutely ripped from all the fist-pumping. Hemsworth injects his performance with endless charm, and in this second go-around, he gets to really dig into the layers of the character, exploring the mental and physical toll of being a black ops mercenary and the strain of his near-death experience.

From the uncovering of dark agency secrets to tense hostage situations, The Gray Man is everything you want from a flick like this. The movie did receive its share of negative reviews, but the ensemble cast and slick action sequences make up for what The Gray Man lacks in terms of narrative. The film did extremely well with viewers, with over 250 million hours watched on Netflix.

From director Timo Tjhajanto, the Netflix action pic The Night Comes for Us features a cast packed with familiar faces for action fans, especially fans of The Raid films, who will recognize Joe Taslim, Julie Estelle, Zack Lee, and, of course, Iko Uwais, who takes a supporting role but still shows up to work in some incredible fight scenes. The film follows a Triad enforcer who, after meeting a young girl and experiencing a change of heart, returns to his hometown to find himself targeted by ruthless fellow gangsters.

You may think you know all the ways you could inflict violence on the human body in a fight, but The Night Comes for Us still has something to teach you about the art of the splatter scene. The film is packed to the brim with bloody, brutal combat. The best feature film from Tjahjanto to date, The Night Comes for Us is a relentless showcase of action and carnage, rooted in the story of a criminal looking for a little redemption. The movie received nearly universal acclaim from critics, with the only complaint being that it might just be too violent.

Written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, Red Notice stars Ryan Reynolds as Nolan Booth, the world's second-best art thief, who is forced to team up with FBI profiler John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson) after they are both framed by the world's best art thief, a woman known only as the Bishop (Gal Gadot). What ensues is an international game of cat-and-mouse as Booth and Hartley compete with the Bishop to find a priceless artifact.

One of the most highly-watched Netflix movies ever, Red Notice is, in a word, awesome! Now, to be fair, the plot isn't all that well-thought-out, but the heist movie does score high for its humor and the performances by the lead actors. Though critically panned, Red Notice is an enjoyable movie with great action and a ton of hilarious scenes, and it has two sequels already in the pipeline.

The kicker of Triple Frontier is that there's actually a good amount of brains under all that brawn. The movie received largely positive reviews from critics, with praise for its direction and script. Sure, it's an explosions-and-helicopters flick first, but it also has a lot to say about what happens to professionally violent men once the gunfire stops. If Triple Frontier isn't your dad's favorite movie, that just means your dad hasn't seen it yet.

Written and directed by Jeremy Rush, Wheelman stars Frank Grillo as a getaway driver who is double-crossed during a bank robbery. With his family now in danger, the titular Wheelman must navigate a labyrinth of backstabbing and violence in order to survive. Besides Grillo in the lead role, the movie also stars Garret Dillahunt, Shea Whigham, and Caitlin Carmichael.

Action movies come in many shapes and sizes. Some have a healthy dose of comedy, while others are more about explosions, fast cars and danger. No matter what flavor you are in the mood for, action movies make you want to grab the popcorn, dim the lights and turn up the speakers to 11. They give you that ultimate movie theater experience, even when you're streaming at home.

Netflix has some of the best action movies available. They appeal to action enthusiasts of all kinds by including a wide range of options and catering to all kinds of tastes. You'll notice the movies on this list lean towards the intense type with heavy storylines, gritty underworlds, dangerous missions, and sketchy characters.

Based on the graphic novel "Ciudad," "Extraction" is Sam Hargrave's directorial debut. Chris Hemsworth stars as Tyler Rake, a black-op mercenary on a mission to save a young boy kidnapped by drug lords. However, the only problem is that Rake has very little to lose and isn't afraid to give up his life on this mission.

Although this film does have violent moments, it has some incredible action sequences that make it worth your while. Many reviewers compared Hemsworth's character to John Wick, which is appropriate all things considered (although, the "John Wick" movies have somewhat stronger plotlines). "Extraction" is in the top 10 list of Netflix's most-watched films of all time and for good reason.

This is another directorial debut, by J.C. Chandor, who helms a film about five Special Forces operatives who find out from an informant that South American crime lord Gabriel Martin Lorea is hiding $75 million. They plan a heist, and as one would expect, things go terribly wrong. The cast includes Ben Affleck as Tom 'Redfly' Davis, Oscar Isaac as Santiago 'Pope' Garcia, Charlie Hunnam as William 'Ironhead' Miller, Garrett Hedlund as Ben "Benny" Miller and Pedro Pascal as Francisco 'Catfish' Morales. Each character puts their lives at risk, all for the want of money.

While this may not be an award-winning film, it is still your classic Friday night flick. The action will keep you captivated throughout, even as it delivers an underlying morale against living a life for greed.

Director David Fincher teams up again with "Se7en" screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker, to give you an impression of what to expect in "The Killer." Michael Fassbender stars as the title character (and yup, that's all he goes by), whose life takes a turn when a hit goes wrong. After he discovers his girlfriend beaten up by unknown assailants, he goes on a mission to find them, one by one.

However, Fassbender's character isn't relatable or even somewhat appealing, as you may expect from past movies that showcase an assassin character. He's a complete psychopath. This film is more about giving us a close look into the mind of this type of man and his cold, calculating actions while he's losing his mind.

If you're more into the Ryan Gosling of "Fall Guy" versus the Ryan Gosling of "Barbie," you'll appreciate his role in "The Gray Man." This film is based on a series of novels by Mark Greaney and is the first of many to be released. Gosling plays the CIA Agent, "Six," who joined the program after being recruited while in prison for murder. However, when an assassination goes wrong, Six goes on the run from Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), a former agent who was kicked out of the CIA for showing sociopathic tendencies.

You'll enjoy the fact that many of the lines in this movie were improvised, which gives the dialogue a realistic flair. Director brothers Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, known for their work on "The Avengers," have also announced they plan to have a sequel of the film.

Edgar Wright wrote and directed "Baby Driver," a film about a young getaway driver who works for a crime boss and is about to get involved in a heist with no chance of success. Ansel Elgort stars as the character Baby, a passionate music lover who is partially impaired and wants to break free from his life of crime. He initially thinks he has gotten away from his life of crime; however, when his former boss threatens him in order to have him join him one more time.

Elgort isn't the only star of this film, as there is also plenty of good acting by Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm, among others. The movie was also nominated for several Oscars, which is no surprise. It's a high-quality and captivating action flick that breaks away from the mold of typical heist movies.
