4 Action-Packed Military Movies You Can Watch On Netflix Right Now

American Renegades (also known as Renegades) is trending on Netflix despite being a flop when it was released in 2017. Don’t you love when this happens? Something that was once written off as useless flop comes back to life with a roar.

Though, critically, American Renegades is still quite a flop with one critic calling it a “mishmash of a hundred movies you’ve seen before.” So maybe consider these other action films; or if you loved Renegades so much, here are some similar movies. All of these films are Netflix originals so they should stay streaming on the platform forever.

Triple Frontier

Elite former special forces operatives reunite for a heist mission in South America to steal millions from a drug lord. The mix of military expertise, tense action sequences, and moral dilemmas about loyalty and greed makes it compelling, with strong performances from an ensemble cast including Ben Affleck and Oscar Isaac.

Extraction

A hardened mercenary’s mission to rescue a crime lord’s son in Bangladesh turns into a brutal fight for survival through the city’s dangerous underworld. People love this for its intense, close-quarters combat scenes and a killer performance from Chris Hemsworth.

Sand Castle

During the Iraq War, a young American soldier is assigned to help protect a small village’s water supply, leading to intense encounters with locals and insurgents. It’s a gritty, realistic portrayal of modern warfare that focuses on the human element rather than just action, appealing to those who prefer authentic military stories.

Black Crab

In a post-apocalyptic winter, special forces soldiers must cross a frozen sea on ice skates to deliver a package that could end the war. This unique premise combined with tense survival elements and stunning frozen landscapes offers a fresh take on the military action genre.
