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.

Stream Bullet Train on Netflix.

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.

Stream Anaconda on Netflix.

3 underrated movies on Hulu you need to watch in March 2025
A woman and male dance in the rain.

Fresh off her dominance at the 2025 Oscars, Anora finally heads to Hulu on March 17. Sean Baker's romantic dramedy stars Mikey Madison as Ani, a Brooklyn sex worker who marries the son of a Russian oligarch. The first half resembles a fever dream, while the second half becomes a nightmare. Anora is an excellent Best Picture winner and can now find an audience at home.
Anora should attract a lot of eyeballs. However, there is a wide selection of under-the-radar movies ready to be streamed with the click of a button. The underrated movies featured in March include a rom-com from a famous author, an invigorating dance film, and a steamy thriller.
We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.
The Last Song (2010)

The Notebook gets all the credit as the Nicholas Sparks movie, and rightfully so. It's Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams — need I say more? The Last Song is middle-tier Sparks, but there's an argument that it's in the top five. Miley Cyrus stars as Ronnie Miller, an unruly 17-year-old who has never recovered from her parents' divorce three years prior.

Of all the streaming services out there, Disney+ is the one with the most unified catalog. For the most part, the stuff on there falls into a few big buckets. If you don't like animation, Star Wars, or Marvel, it can be easy to feel like nothing on Disney+ is for you.
If you're looking for a major blockbuster that's well worth your time, Avatar: The Way of Water is an excellent option. The movie, which became one of the highest-grossing in history when it was released in 2022, is a sequel to the first Avatar, but it's not the kind of franchise where every entry is required viewing. Here are three reasons you should check it out:
