It’s a good time to be an action junkie. With Ballerina about to spin-kick its way into the John Wick universe and Nobody 2 lurking around the corner like a man with unfinished business, the genre is thriving; louder, bloodier, and more unhinged than ever. But you don’t need to wait for the big screen. Streaming platforms are already stacked with carnage: elite assassins, furious drivers, corrupt small towns, multiverse fistfights, and at least one guy who kills Nazis with a pickaxe.
Highest-Rated Action Movies To Stream On Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar And More
Mission: Impossible – Fallout
Rotten Tomatoes: 98%
Where to Watch: Prime Video
Tom Cruise jumps out of a plane, crashes a helicopter, and breaks his ankle—all before breakfast. This one’s the franchise at its peak: slick, smart, and constantly one explosion away from cardiac arrest.
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Rotten Tomatoes: 97%
Where to Watch: Prime Video
Two hours of dust, diesel, and pure cinematic mayhem. Charlize Theron drives like she’s got nothing left to lose, and Tom Hardy grunts his way through it like a feral cat. A fever dream you won’t want to wake up from.
Black Bag (2025)
Rotten Tomatoes: 96%
Where to Watch: Prime Video (rent)
Spy thrillers don’t usually come with this much heartbreak. An espionage-meets-marriage-drama that asks: what if the real double agent is your spouse?
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Rotten Tomatoes: 96%
Where to Watch: JioHotstar
Thirty years later, Cruise is still flying dangerously. Nostalgic but never stale, it’s got tight dogfights, tighter jawlines, and a power ballad of a plot that still somehow works.
RRR (2022)
Rotten Tomatoes: 96%
Where to Watch: Netflix
A bromance for the ages, tigers on leashes, and British colonisers getting suplexed—what more do you want? S.S. Rajamouli goes full mythic mode with this Telugu-language juggernaut.
Rebel Ridge (2024)
Rotten Tomatoes: 95%
Where to Watch: Netflix
Think John Wick, but make it paranoid and angry at the system. A Marine takes on small-town corruption and delivers brutal justice one bone at a time.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Rotten Tomatoes: 94%
Where to Watch: Sony LIV
Martial arts, multiverse drama, googly eyes, and hotdog fingers. It’s technically an action film—but it’s also every genre crammed into one glorious identity crisis.
Sisu (2022)
Rotten Tomatoes: 94%
Where to Watch: Sony LIV
What if a Finnish miner refused to die—and killed Nazis like it was a hobby? Bloody, beautiful, and absurd in the best way.
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
Rotten Tomatoes: 94%
Where to Watch: Prime Video
Keanu goes globe-trotting in his sharpest suits yet. The body count is biblical, the set pieces operatic, and yes, the dog is still safe.
Kill (2024)
Rotten Tomatoes: 89%
Where to Watch: JioHotstar
India finally gets its gritty train-fight movie. A high-speed bloodbath that doesn’t slow down—even when the bodies start piling up.
Nobody (2021)
Rotten Tomatoes: 84%
Where to Watch: JioHotstar
Bob Odenkirk goes from suburban dad to sledgehammer-swinging antihero. Think John Wick if he had HOA fees and a midlife crisis.
Novocaine (2025)
Rotten Tomatoes: 81%
Where to Watch: Prime Video (rent)
A man who can’t feel pain uses it to his advantage. Basically a love story with more cracked ribs than tender moments.
Extraction 2 (2023)
Rotten Tomatoes: 80%
Where to Watch: Netflix
Chris Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake cheats death (again) to go punch some more faces (again). This time, it’s even more muscular, if slightly more ridiculous.
Marco (2024)
Rotten Tomatoes: 79%
Where to Watch: Sony LIV / JioHotstar
Malayalam cinema does the gangster epic with stylish swagger. Two brothers, one family secret, and a trail of bodies that says “I love you” in bullet holes.
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)
Rotten Tomatoes: 79%
Where to Watch: JioHotstar
Harley Quinn gets dumped, adopts a hyena, and somehow forms an all-girl vigilante squad. Loud, messy, and a hell of a lot of fun—just like her.
