4. Whether you're a fan of science fiction or secret intelligence, car chases or
rooftop combat, Neo or Indiana, super pigs or 007, there's an action movie for
every kind of adrenaline seeker on Netflix. The streaming service has classics as
well as fresh installments — plus a smattering of original projects all their own.
With so much streaming, it can be an overwhelming task to choose an adventure.
But kick back and try to relax. We've picked the 17 best action movies now on
Netflix just for you. (And if you're looking for the best thrillers on Netflix, we can
help you there too.)
17. Free Fire
Starring Brie Larson, Armie Hammer, Luke Evans, Cillian Murphy, and more,
Ben Wheatley's Free Fire delivers black comedy and solid action in an unceasing
torrent of "WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Fun, ridiculous, and phenomenally short —
just 85 minutes! — Free Fire is a delectable action snack.

16. GoldenEye

5. It's the only Pierce Brosnan-led James Bond anyone actually liked. Brosnan, Sean
Bean, Famke Janssen, Judi Dench, and Izabella Scorupco head up this extremely
stunt- and explosion-heavy take on 007. It's the best Bond Netflix has right now,
but check back soon as they rotate frequently.

15. Minority Report
Directed by Steven Spielberg, Minority Report is among the best Tom Cruise
movies out there. A combination of slow-burn suspense and science-fiction flair,
this futuristic police thriller is a must-see for any movie buff worth their salt. Fair
warning: It is also kind of a bummer.

6. Oh, the ludicrous movie joy of Sin City. Based on Frank Miller's comics of the
same name, this neo-noir anthology sports Miller, Robert Rodriguez, and Quentin
Tarantino as directors. It's a breakneck film mash-up of violence, heartbreak, and
Bruce Willis being cool as hell that's simply one of a kind. (Yeah, its sequel Sin
City: A Dame to Kill For isn't a great film.)

13. Jarhead
Set during the Gulf War, the first movie in the Jarhead franchise hits just as hard
today as it did in 2005. Jake Gyllenhaal's premiere outing as U.S. Marine
Anthony Swofford provides an emotional bedrock for a disquieting exploration of
military combat and its consequences. Supporting performances by Peter
Sarsgaard, Jamie Foxx, Brian Geraghty, and more make this a genre staple.

7. 12. Inception
It's the Christopher Nolan and Leo DiCaprio movie outing that gave us the dream
heist. Incredible blocking, beautiful effects, and solid supporting performances
from a cast that includes Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, and
Marion Cotillard make for a film that's always watchable — if not 40 minutes too
long.

11. Ip Man
True fans of martial arts movies know the unprecedented influence of Ip Man. In
this biographical movie, Donnie Yen embodies the martial arts master for a
captivating exploration of philosophy, power, and honor. If you love this movie,
check out the entire trilogy on Netflix.
