The 27 Best Action Movies on Netflix Right Now

Netflix pumped $65 million into Extraction, a streaming blockbuster directed by stunt performer Sam Hargrave and starring freaking Chris Hemsworth. And after watching a 12-minute single take that required Hargrave to literally strap himself to a car, filming a high-speed chase that turns into a residential hide-and-go-gun fight, you might have wondered why other action movies don’t, you know, like, give stunt people more control over cinematic direction. Who knows.

But what we do know is there are actually lots of other great action movies that make even this 12-minute oner seem only slightly impressive. If you’re willing to go outside of Netflix and (god forbid) rent some films, we recommend checking out the Raid and John Wick films, if you haven’t already. Their combination of martial arts, gun fighting, and car chasing is just about the best of the last ten years.

But if Extraction roped you into another month on Netflix, and if you’re looking for more streaming flicks to fill those many bullet-sized holes—which Chris Hemsworth’s character somehow/maybe/almost survived—we’ve got your fix.

Here are the 27 best action movies on Netflix right now.
