Best Action movies on Netflix
Netflix has a lot of action movies in its list, but few which target the Hollywood specific audience. It has been very specific with what it allows and what it doesn’t, making sure the content Netflix presents its audience is crisp. Here is the list of the best action movies on Netflix:
1] Spectral
Spectral is an amazing science fiction plus action movie. Dr. Mark Clyne, a DARPA researcher has created a lot of devices, one of them being hyperspectral imaging goggles. His goggles were being used by US military personnel deployed in Moldova and he is called there for consultations on strange sightings through his goggles. The goggles show humanoid figures that are capable of killing. What is the secret behind this?
2] 3 Days to Kill
Ethan Renner, a secret agent has had a tough, but fruitful career. However, the risks of his profession drove his family away. Now as he grows older, he decides to reunite with his wife and daughter and spend time with them. No doubt Renner would have to leave his career for it. But a terminal disease is threatening to kill him and in return for a potentially life-saving drug he needs to complete one final mission.
3] Triple Frontier
Five former special forces operatives have served their country for long, but as a part of their profession, they have built themselves well physically and mentally. Also, they have learned about crime and crime syndicates. However, as they leave their career, it is time to get selfish and plan one heist for themselves. The team unites to steal a drug lord’s fortune from his base in South America, however, things weren’t to be smooth.
4] Body of Lies
Notorious terrorist Al-Saleem is a serious concern for the US. CIA agent Roger Ferris and veteran operative Ed Hoffman team up in an effort to capture the dreaded militant. As they need local support, they include Hani, the head of Jordanian intelligence in their team. The plan is to create a dummy terror organization of their own to pull Al-Saleem out of hiding. However, they need to hide this plan from Hani. Will they succeed in their endeavor?
5] Sabotage
John Wharton is the head of an elite DEA team. The DEA is responsible for preventing drug-related crimes in the US, especially near the southern border. The task force is assigned an operation in which they need to raid one of the deadliest drug lord’s safe house. While they complete the mission successfully, they also steal $10 million from the place. The team’s happiness is short-lived as their men keep dying. What is the mystery behind it?
Parker is one daring and professional thief, but a very ethical one. He doesn’t steal from the weak or poor. However, he is unfortunate to be a part of an inefficient team and he barely manages to escape a heist because of the mistake of a fellow crew member. Thus, the man decides to leave the gang, however, it isn’t as easy to leave the world of crime as it is to get into it.
7] Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny
I strongly advise this movie for women. While most action movies have male actors to create the thrill, the heroine of this movie Yu Shu Lien is a woman. She returns to Peking after 18 long years to protect Green Destiny, the sword of her deceased lover Li Mu Bai. However, the task isn’t easy since those with an evil eye are all armed and alert. Will the fighter-woman succeed or will she face failure? Watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny on Netflix.
8] Escape Plan
Ray Breslin is a genius with his work, which is to build high-security prisons. His job is to make prisons inescapable, no matter how talented the fugitive is. One fine day, Ray is approached by a woman who claims to be associated with the CIA requesting him to build a maximum-security prison for the worst of criminals. As a test, Ray needs to get inside the prison and try to escape himself. However, this turns out to be a plot against him and he is caught in his own web. Will Ray manage to escape or will he be doomed for life?
9] Mechanic: Resurrection
Many people have a dark side to their lives and wish they could press a reset button. Such was the case with former master assassin Arthur Bishop, who was tired of his black profession and wanted to quit. Arthur faked his own death and shifted to Rio to live a normal life. However, someone who knows his past approaches him for more missions, but he has other plans.
10] 6 Underground
6 Underground is an interesting movie in which the world is bothered by the actions of a brutal dictator. Obviously, it isn’t easy to approach him, let alone taking him down. So, a tech billionaire who takes the responsibility of saving humanity fakes his own death and recruits a team of 6 unnamed individuals to battle the dictator.
