Best action movies on Netflix
1) 6 Underground
Directed by Michael Bay, 6 Underground is an action-comedy thriller following a group of talented vigilantes who remain anonymous to one another as they work to defeat “untouchable” terrorists and criminals. The opening sequence alone, as the team races through the streets of Florence, showcases enough action and practical stunts to leave audiences feeling satisfied.
The movie had one of the best releases on Netflix, but opened to mixed reviews – that being said, if you’re a fan of Michael Bay and Ryan Reynolds, you should definitely add this film to your watch list. Along with Reynolds, the film stars Melanie Laurent, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Adria Arjona, Corey Hawkins, Ben Hardy, and Dave Franco as the anonymous team.
2) Army of the Dead
The latest original action movie to hit Netflix is the zombie-heist film from Zack Snyder, Army of the Dead. Taking place in a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas that’s been overrun by zombies, a group of mercenaries bands together to try and pull off what has to be the most insane heist of all time.
If you’re not a fan of zombies, consider sitting this one out, but the ensemble’s chemistry, comedy, and action-packed heist story will keep you on the edge of your seat. Netflix recently announced that over 72 million users watched Army of the Dead in its first few weeks on the site, and there’s a reason fans moved it to the top of their watch lists when it debuted.
