Netflix always has a great collection of action movies — both original and from other studios — but it’s been getting even better recently.

David Ayer’s Suicide Squad was widely panned and ridiculed to the point that, less than two years later, DC rebooted the movie with James Gunn behind the helm. It’s better.
When the heavily armed island nation of Corto Maltese begins mobilizing, Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) taps into a top-secret program to utilize supervillain inmates imprisoned at Belle Reve as undercover, extrajudicial operatives. Led by Colonel Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), the ragtag crew includes Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin, and Harley Quinn. One wrong move, and Waller sets off the bomb embedded in their necks.
