Choose yours!
The Night came for Us (2018)
One of the best original Netflix productions to date, and also one of the most violent, bloody and electrifying movies the cinema has seen in a long time. Do you lack reasons to give the play?
Unstoppable (2010)
There is nothing more exciting in the cinema than having a plot with a train running in the background. From ‘Train to Busan’ to ‘The Train’ by Frankenheimer, and the list goes on and on. Here is Tony Scott who puts his characters in a bind: how to stop a train that is running wild with a very dangerous substance inside?
Fast and Furious (2001)
All started here. With this film of almost a decade ago one of the highest grossing sagas of our century was founded, and it is still going on. For those looking for a good adrenaline rush.
Anacleto: Secret agent (2015)
Can there be a Spanish superhero that we feel proud of? While we waited for ‘Superlópez’, we did not have a bad representative in the Anacleto of Imanol Arias (and Quim Gutiérrez as a young relay, of course), who gave us this action movie with a fight action that gives pleasure.
Hot Fuzz (2007)
It could not be missing from a list of best action films a title that, precisely, makes fun of them. It does, in addition, being one of the best in the genre. Paradoxes of life. It will be that Edgar Wright is very good with the parodies, or that there is no one who resists the charm of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. It is one of th best action movies on Netflix.
Pain & Gain (2013)
Maybe this looks like the typical testosterone movie of men who are hunks (see image), beautiful women and cars that explode … and, well, it is. But beware here: his intelligent charge of humor turns it into an unexpected satire that you can not miss.
Gladiator (2000)
We moved to the Roman era in this mythical film, in which Russell Crowe went from soldier to slave to gladiator. And, from there, to challenge an empire. Exciting, violent and exciting. It will never go out of style. It is one of th best action movies on Netflix.
The Last Stand (2013)
Wherever Arnold Schwarzenegger is, you have to stop and look. The genre of action would not be the same without him, and even in his last films, where he is already a man of considerable age, he is still the hero we need.
Group 7 (2012)
At the end of the 80s, when Seville was preparing for the arrival of Expo 92, a group of policemen is in charge of keeping the city clean. With Mario Casas and Antonio de la Torre in front, this thriller is going to leave you biting your nails.
The Italian Job (2003)
This remake of the classic of 1969 starring Michael Caine was able to get very dignified to the height of his predecessors. And how we love to see a good ‘heist movie’, with those thieves of big dreams and extraordinary plans. It is one of th best action movies on Netflix.
Ant-Man (2015)
Yes, on Netflix you can find the Avengers, Doctor Strange, the Guardians of the Galaxy or ‘Thor: The Dark World’ (yikes), but here we recommend you return to the man-ant of Paul Rudd. Of the most fun and dynamic of the franchise.
Headshot (2016)
Kick-Ass 2: With a pair (2013)
If you liked the first part, this will not disappoint you: more hits, more heroism, more parody, more action. The bad? We have lost Nicolas Cage. The good? We won Jim Carrey. Every cloud has a silver lining.
The Villainess (2017)
South Korean thrillers never disappoint. They are masters of the action, and they show it again with this story of a murderer who must abandon the weapons and hide until the secrets begin to come to light. Prepare for a large dose of violence.
Serenity (2005)
Before enrolling in the Marvel world, Whedon signed this wonderful action film set in the future, where a war veteran and his crew will be involved in an interplanetary conflict because of a young woman with telepathic powers. And often final!
Shooter: The shooter (2007)
Who happens to cheat an elite sniper? Mark Wahlberg plays a soldier with great aim who plans relentless revenge against those who have deceived him. It is one of th best action movies on Netflix.
Crank: High voltage (2009)
The second delivery of a wonderful, crazy and always undervalued diptych. It’s not better than ‘Crank: Poison in the blood’, but it’s not worse either. A pity that their directors later down the level to ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of revenge’.
Shoot ‘Em Up – In the Spotlight (2007)
As violent and frantic as it is amusing, this madness in which Clive Owen kills a squad of assassins while maintaining relations with Monica Bellucci deserves your attention. Prepare some appetizer carrots, you’ll need them.
The Expendables 2 (2012)
After leaving us all somewhat dissatisfied with the first delivery, they managed to retread the second to offer exactly what the audience wanted: more action, more lapidary phrases and a real shooting scene where Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Willis shared ammunition and coverage. Also, as a gift, a little bit of Chuck Norris and an evil Van Damme that we did not know we needed. It is one of th best action movies on Netflix.
Face/Off (1997)
John Travolta and Nicolas Cage play a terrorist and an FBI agent who exchanged faces and … What the hell! Put it!
