There are plenty of other good action movies to stream. This March, we selected three action movies that Netflix subscribers can watch now. Our selections include the final film in a fun trilogy, an action comedy from one of the genre’s best directors, and a cult classic from the late 1990s.

The Equalizer 3 (2023)

In terms of viewer satisfaction, The Equalizer franchise delivers on its promise of action, violence, and entertainment. It’s Denzel Washington playing the hits of what makes him so successful — intense acting, loads of charisma, and a magnetic screen presence. For the final film of the trilogy, Washington reprises his role as the elite vigilante, Robert McCall, in The Equalizer 3

McCall now lives in Southern Italy as he tries to distance himself from his life as a government assassin. However, that doesn’t mean McCall has put killing behind him. McCall now fights for those incapable of standing up for themselves. When organized crime disrupts a local village in Southern Italy, McCall protects his new friends by battling the Italian mafia. I’m sure you can guess this will come to a bloody, epic ending.

Bullet Train (2022)

After leaving the John Wick franchise, director David Leitch has carved out his path in the action comedy genre. Leitch combines witty comedic bits with highly choreographed action sequences to produce modern-day action blockbusters. His most recent offering, Bullet Train, uses those elements for an action comedy about assassins on a train.

Due to recent circumstances, Ladybug (Brad Pitt) has decided to incorporate less violence into his life as an assassin. For his next mission, Ladybug is tasked with retrieving a briefcase of cash from a bullet train headed to Kyoto. What appears to be an easy mission becomes a nightmare scenario as multiple assassins are vying for the same briefcase. Unfortunately for Ladybug, his wish for less violence must be put on hold.

Anaconda (1997)

If you’re afraid of snakes, you might want to look away because Anaconda features a killer — you guessed it — anaconda that terrorizes a film crew on the Amazon River. The small crew includes director Terri Flores (The Mother’s Jennifer Lopez), cameraman Danny (Ice Cube), and anthropologist Dr. Steven Cale (Eric Stoltz). While on the river, the group picks up a mysterious snake hunter named Paul Serone (Jon Voight), who offers to help them find a lost indigenous tribe.

It doesn’t take long to figure out that Serone has no intention of finding the tribe. Instead, Serone forces the crew to help him capture a record-breaking anaconda that would result in a historic payday. At times, Anaconda is quite ridiculous, especially Voight’s portrayal of an insane psychopath. However, the film is highly entertaining and provides enough scares and thrills to keep this adventure from going too far off-course.

If you have to stream one scary movie this Halloween, watch this one
A woman lies on the ground in Saint Maud.

Long before she was saving Middle-earth on The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Morfydd Clark made a name for herself in one of the wildest horror movies of the past decade. Saint Maud may not be one of the movies you think of first when you think of recent horror classics, but it's a movie that definitely deserves to be part of any Halloween watchlist.

The film follows Maud, a highly religious young nurse who becomes convinced that she has to save her patient's soul before she dies. As she goes to increasingly dramatic lengths to achieve that end, and to purify herself, we see exactly how fanatical she really is. Here are three reasons the movie is worth checking out this spooky season.
