3 new, good movies on Netflix worth watching

Calendar 2/28/2026

If you're browsing Netflix and don't want to waste 30 minutes choosing, here are three fresh and really strong suggestions: action, thriller, and top-notch drama.

Rebel Ridge

A raw action thriller from the creator of Green Room. The story of a former soldier who gets entangled in a conflict with the local power and corruption. The film focuses on realism, tension, and very intense confrontation scenes. If you enjoy films in the style of "one against all" with a heavy atmosphere, this is right up your alley.

Carry-On

Thriller set in an airport during the holiday season. A security worker is blackmailed into letting a dangerous package on board a plane. The fast pace, claustrophobic atmosphere, and constant raising of the stakes make it the perfect film for a single viewing.

Damsel

Fantasy with a dark twist. The princess, instead of the classic "lived happily ever after," ends up in a dragon's lair and must fight for survival. This is a spectacular production with a strong lead role and a great atmosphere of survival fantasy.
