Toma Ikuta as Sakata in Demon City.

February wasn't a particularly great month for original movies on Netflix. The Amy Schumer-led comedy Kinda Pregnant was just embarrassing and not worthy of being remembered. The rom-com La Dolce Villa isn't a masterpiece either, but at least it works on its own terms.
The only other film that we could add this month is Demon City, an action film from Japan. You may have seen this kind of revenge thriller many times before, but the staging of the action is very entertaining. That's what makes it worth watching at least once.
You can find these films and the rest of the best Netflix original movies below.
