Whether you're a fan of wild Westerns, cunning detectives, high-swinging superheroes, ravenous zombies, charming assassins, or hard-hitting heroines, Netflix has a movie pitch-perfect for every kind of adrenaline seeker. But scrolling through the app can be a chore when all you want to do is Netflix and chill. We've taken out the hard step, highlighting the most stunt-stuffed, battle-powered, high-speed films the streamer has to offer.
Netflix has invested big in Millie Bobby Brown. Not only has the English ingenue been leading Stranger Things for years, but also she's becoming an outright action star through movies she has headlined and produced for the streamer, including a pair of Enola Holmes adventures and this fearsome fairy tale: Damsel. Here, Brown stars as Elodie, a dutiful damsel destined to wed a handsome prince (Nick Robinson)! But rather than happily ever after, her deceitful groom pitches her into a dragon's pit. However, that's far from the end of her story. She'll fight her way to salvation and vengeance, one fiery sequence at a time.
It might be a cliche to say "This is the role they were born to play!" But when you witness the storming glory of Viola Davis as a hard-fighting general in The Woman King, that thought hits hard, fast, and repeatedly, like one's heartbeat as this historical epic kicks into action mode.
You've never seen an action movie quite as bombastic or as bromantic as RRR. Director S.S. Rajamouli draws loosely from history to tell the story of Indian freedom fighters Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (N.T. Rama Rao Jr.). Over the film's three-hour runtime, the two unwittingly face off in the search for a kidnapped girl, become the best of friends, and square off against villainous English colonizers.
This Netflix adventure has Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund, and Pedro Pascal coming together as a group of former Special Forces who plan an elaborate heist in South America. But after things get out of hand, their survival skills are put to the ultimate test.
Folks looking for that summer blockbuster thrill, search no further than The Old Guard. Based on the superhero comic books of the same name, director Gina Prince-Bythewood's movie sucks viewers into a slick, well-crafted world of action and narrative that isn't particularly unique but delivers its formulaic pieces with enough precision to keep you invested.
Long before she was kicking butt in the Star Wars prequels or the MCU, Natalie Portman played Mathilda, a precocious young girl who befriends a hitman in Leon: The Professional. Directed by Luc Besson, what might have been another '90s action flick splashed with blood and a preposterous plotline has an unexpected sweetness. This was thanks in no small part to French actor Jean Reno, who plays the titular assassin with an enchanting gentleness.
You don't know Godzilla until you see Godzilla Minus One. The American movies featuring the classic kaiju go for huge monster-versus-monster face-offs, bogged down by tedious human characters. But writer/director Takashi Yamazaki reclaims the Japanese icon with a movie that gets the balance between rampaging monster action and human drama just right.

Now that the Fourth of July has come and gone once again, families are looking to unwind and celebrate their independence together. While many people plan to go out and light up the barbecue or even some fireworks, why not stay in and relax with a good action movie?
Netflix continues to have a wide variety of both new and classic films for subscribers to enjoy, and there is virtually no shortage of exciting action films to watch either. So, while everyone is celebrating the 4th of July weekend, viewers should consider taking time to stream these five action films on Netflix.
Just in time for the Fourth of July, comedy legend Eddie Murphy continues his Hollywood comeback with the release of his fourth film in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise. This Netflix-exclusive reboothas Alex Foley returning to Beverly Hills to investigate a conspiracy that has endangered the lives of multiple people from his past, including his estranged daughter (Taylour Paige).
In a future where machines have trapped humans in virtual reality, a lone hacker (Keanu Reeves) must unlock his latent powers as the one destined to free the world from captivity. There are few action movies as deep and layered as The Matrix. Its blend of philosophical ideas, religious allusions, and social commentary has still made it one of the most beloved and imitated films of all time.
Snyder takes everything people love about zombie movies and brings it to the next level, with a zombie king ruling over Vegas and an undead tiger roaming the ruined wasteland. The film also features a delightful cast of characters who immerse viewers in this thrilling action/horror adventure.
As she gets audited by the IRS, a despondent laundromat owner (Michelle Yeoh) is forced to unlock her powers from across different realities when an omnipotent being threatens the Multiverse. Directed by the Daniels (Swiss Army Man), this indie epic is bizarre even for A24, the same studio that released Lamb and Hereditary.
It's the summer on Netflix, meaning several blockbusters are coming to the streaming service. The beginning of the month marked the arrival of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, the fourth film in Eddie Murphy's action comedy franchise. Another new legacy sequel on Netflix is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the fifth film in the Ghostbusters franchise.
These two massive titles will remain on Netflix for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, several movies will be departing the streamer at the end of the month. There are only a few days left in July, so watch these five movies before it's too late. Our picks include two terrific sports dramas and a hysterical romantic comedy.

It can be hard to find the best Netflix action movies when you're scrolling aimlessly through the streamer on a random weeknight. The platform has so many titles that even if you deduce that you're in the mood for a thrill ride, which is half the struggle, it's difficult to know where to start finding the genre's must-watches.
Well fortunately, we've got you covered, as below, we've rounded up some of the better pulse-pounding flicks you can watch on Netflix right now. Whether you fancy something with a star-studded cast like The Gray Man or The Harder They Fall, a John Wick-esque revenge thriller like Kate, or a musical epic like RRR, there's something for everyone on the list.
Are you ready for one of the wildest movies you've ever seen? RRR is a masterpiece in Indian cinema. Directed by S. S. Rajamouli, the Telugu-language movie takes place in the 1920s and centers on two revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (N. T. Rama Rao Jr.), in their explosive challenge of the British Raj.
It's lengthy at 182 minutes, but doesn't waste a second, cramming in everything from fiery bow and arrow battles and motorcycle chases to men fighting alongside bloodied tigers. If none of that tickles your fancy, firstly, what more do you want? Secondly, fear not, it also features a romantic subplot, a sweet bromance, and a couple of musical numbers, too. No surprise it made huge amounts of money at the box office.
Starring Allison Janney, Logan Marshall-Green, and Jurnee Smollett, Lou has been liked to Taken and John Wick, and those comparisons are sure to catch the attention of action movie enthusiasts. Directed by Westworld's Anna Foerster, its premise is simple: Janney plays the titular mother, who teams up with the mysterious woman next door to save her kidnapped daughter.
Early in Netflix's globe-trotting romp Red Notice, a priceless artifact is revealed to be a clever fake by the application of a fizzy drink. You won't need sugary beverages to catch writer/director Rawson Marshall Thurber's comedy-thriller out, because it's exactly what it seems to be: a starry and undemanding caper, with Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot sticking like fingerprints to character type.
