Cast: Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garett Hedlund, Pedro Pascal, and Adria Arjona

An exciting movie about 5 former Special Forces officers who reunite to plan an epic heist in South America. For the very first time in their long careers, they undertake a dangerous mission for the sake of their country. The film begins with a private military contractor Pope, who leads a fully armed team in a raid of a drug cartel.

Yes, there are a few holes in the plot, however, the movie is thrilling and the cast is excellent. The cast, plot, and suspense did have great potential. But a few unrealistic situations later, the movie does get a little dull. But, it was still entertaining. You can watch this action movie on Netflix to have an opinion of yourself!

18. The Double IMDB Rating: 6.5/10

Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Mia Wasikowska, Wallace Shawn, Noah Taylor, Yasmin Paige, James Fox, Cathy Moriarty, Phyllis Somerville, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith

A mind-blowing action thriller black-comedy movie that gave me the absolute chills. Simon James has worked in one place for 7 years, but no one seems to care about him, his boss, or colleagues. He is a coward who admires the girl he loves from afar. But it all changes when a new coworker James Simon enters his life. James is identical to Simon but polar-opposite, he is everything Simon is not. His boss and, crush, and co-workers like him. But, the really terrifying part is that no one seems to notice the fact that they’re identical. Slowly we see James taking over Simon’s life and Simon slowly driven to insane city. He watched James be the villain by also a mirror of all his flaws and insecurities, a life that he has always wanted.

The premise of this story is unique and creative, it is a striking film that gets interesting by the minute. The paranoia Simon feels radiates through the viewers, Jesse Eisenberg’s acting is incredible as always. The cyber-punk aesthetic I got from this movie was nostalgic, the atmosphere that the movie creates is amazing. An unpopular opinion- this movie is very artistic, the dark and light tones balance throughout and the minimalist style of the movie was a great choice. The story itself is complex that leaves us with an ending that is open to your interpretation. That’s another thing I appreciate about this movie, it makes you think and interpret the situations through metaphors instead of handing them over on a silver platter.

With a 72% on the Tomatometer and 77% audience score, the Amazing Spider-Man is a movie with an incredible cast and great chemistry between the characters despite resisting the same plot from Spider-Man (2002). To me, Andrew Garfield is very underappreciated for this role, this dark tone that SONY pictures chose to take is what I really miss.

11. John Wick IMDB Rating: 7.4/10

Cast: Keanu Reeves, Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, Adrianne Palicki, Bridget Moynahan, Dean Winters, Ian McShane, John Leguizamo, and Willem Dafoe.

John Wick is deemed as the best action movie of all time. The character Keanu Reeves plays as John Wick is a troubled assassin who is forced into circumstances he doesn’t want has won hearts across the world. For a good reason, of course, John Wick is an incredible movie that every action-movie lover will acknowledge.

John Wick loses his wife to terminal illness and gets a little puppy named Daisy to cope up with his grief. Growing attached to the dog, all he really has left is the dog and his cool vintage car.

Furious, John returns to the job he turned his back on years ago, a legendary hitman he let’s loose. Blind with revenge after losing everything he had he unleashes his ultimate destruction. He plots against the men who are actually fully aware of his skills and legends.

The movie serves a very satisfying return after one of Keanu’s most iconic movies, The Matrix. A sophisticated yet brutal action movie with a violent and emotional theme. It received 86% by the critics and 81% with audience score. “ John Wick works because of its sleek, artisanal dovetailing of style and sincerity.“ comments a critic from the UK Daily Telegraph and I couldn’t agree more. However, If it weren’t for the top-notch acting by the cast and the emotional quotient of the story, it would just be another violent revenge story. But, this one’s different and has managed to separate itself from a general cliche troupe. It’s only the first installment to a multimillion-dollar franchise it builds over the years.

8. Kung Fu Panda IMDB Rating: 7.5/10

Voice Actors: Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, Jackie Chan, Ian McShane, James Hong, and Randall Duk Kim.

A hilarious comedy action movie on Netflix that has grown on me to be one of my favorite anime characters. A story about a lazy and slacker panda, Po is a huge fan of Kung Fu. However, that doesn’t really come in handy in his everyday life working in his family noodle shop. Out of the blue, he is the chosen one to fulfill an old prophecy and it seems like his dreams where coming true!

But, a vengeful snow leopard was heading their way and the fate of his town is in Po’s hands. Can he turn his dreams into a reality while saving his entire village?

An extremely entertaining movie that made me laugh out loud! The animation in the movie is outstanding and the soundtrack is very good! However, This action-comedy might look like a kids’ movie, but trust me, adults will enjoy it equally. Kids will see fighting pandas while the adults will appreciate the little things this movie offers. Po delivers and his personality easily makes him one of the most likable animated characters. Everything about his movie was just right, nothing overdone or overlooked. It received an 87% on the Tomatometer and 82% with audience scores.

7. Train to Busan IMDB Rating: 7.5/10

Cast: Gong Yoo, Kim Su-an, Jung Yu-mi, Ma Dong-seok, Choi Woo-shik, Sohee, and Kim Eui-sang.

A hit horror action movie about survival, zombies, and family. Here I have another Korean action movie, but the difference is that it easily comes in my top 5. A thrilling and incredible movie about a zombie-infested Seoul. Seok-woo is a divorced workaholic that makes absolutely no effort towards his daughter. But, on Soo-an’s birthday, she wishes to meet her mother living in Busan. He reluctantly boards a train to Busan without knowing that another infected woman enters the same train as them. Compartment by compartment the virus slowly spreads and he realizes that this was indeed a zombie outbreak. Together with his daughter and a couple including a pregnant wife fight for survival.

They seemed safe after they isolated their compartment from the other infected ones but it was short-lived. Soon they face the grotesque zombies and selfish humans that will do anything to survive. A purely entertaining movie with an incredible cast, well-developed characters, and very skillful action. The small compartments of the trains were very well used and portrayed the helplessness the passengers felt. Moreover, the tension built up in that small carriage was insurmountable. With a well-realized social commentary, characters you can’t help but root for, and the suspense that the movie keeps constantly on the edge. You can look forward to a sequel that is currently in the works if you enjoy this movie! Undeniably one of the best action movies on Netflix at the moment!

6. Fury IMDB Rating: 7.6/10

Cast: Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Peña, Jon Bernthal, Jason Isaacs, and Scott Eastwood

A raw war action movie that depicts the events of the U.S. tank crews fighting in Nazi Germany in the very final weeks of World War II. The trailer for this movie gave me the chills, it was packed with intensity and made my heart race. The movie was even better. During a coordinated Western ally attack to Nazi Germany in 1945, Hitler was bracing for the last stand. An Army Sergeant Don Collier and his crew of five veteran soldiers fight desperately against the enemy. On a fatal mission behind the enemy lines, the crew feels helpless. They were essentially outnumbered with a rookie soldier who was hesitant to fire a bullet.

Collier takes his men and leads them into battle where they face overwhelming odds as they make attempts to strike Nazi Germany at its heart. An unflinching and raw account of the events of the war, where the production impressively delivers a sold WWII film. The cast is exceptional with incredible actors that really played their part. “War is Hell” the message was loud and clear with this movie, the struggles, and fear every soldier felt was really well-portrayed. It secured an 84% audience score, it is indeed a great action movie on Netflix that will leave you in awe.

4. The Bourne Identity IMDB Rating: 8/10

Cast: Matt Damon, Franka Potente, Chris Cooper, Clive Owen, Brian Cox, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Gabriel Mann, Julia Stiles, and Orso Maria Guerrini.

This movie managed to blend genres with witty dialogues and some killer action. Based on a suspense novel, this movie franchise starring Matt Damon is an action-adventure tied with some spectacular mystery and suspense throughout. On a rather story night a man is pulled out barely alive of the Mediterranean by a crew of fishermen. Assuming the man is dead, a curious man pulls out the two bullets and a laser chip embedded in his hip. When he wakes up with amnesia, the only clue he has to his identity is a bank account number etched in the chip. He quickly finds the bank where money, gun, and a few documents wait for him. Bourne soon realizes that there’s no one he can trust after he pursued by people.

He pays a German Gypsy Marie for a ride to Paris and encounters even more professional assassins hellbent to his destruction. That’s when he discovers his abilities of perfect skill combat, martial arts, and linguistics, talents that are handy. All his talents point towards one direction, he was a spy or an assassin, but for whom did he work? Was he a good guy or a bad guy? These were the things he needs to figure out, with the help of Marie he inches closer to the truth and his memories, something so secretive that even the CIA officials want to be concealed at any cost.

A first-rate action thriller that has managed to keep perfect pacing with its story. This entire franchise is praised for its real combat and action without the use of too many effects and CGI.
