3 new, good films on Netflix that are worth watching

Calendar 2/28/2026

If you're browsing Netflix and don't want to spend 30 minutes choosing, here are three fresh and really strong suggestions: action, thriller, and top-tier 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 structure and corruption. The film focuses on realism, tension, and very intense scenes of confrontation. If you enjoy films in the style of "one against all" with a heavy atmosphere, this is a perfect match.

Carry-On

A thriller set in an airport during the holiday season. A security worker is blackmailed into allowing a dangerous package on board a flight. The fast pace, claustrophobic atmosphere, and constant raising of the stakes make it the perfect film to watch in one sitting.

Damsel

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