3 new, good movies on Netflix that are worth watching

Calendar 2/28/2026

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

Carry-On

A thriller set in an airport during the holiday season. A security employee is blackmailed into allowing a dangerous package on board a plane. Fast-paced, claustrophobic atmosphere, and constant escalation of stakes make it an ideal "one-time" film.

Damsel

Fantasy with a dark twist. A princess, instead of a classic “lived happily ever after,” ends up in a dragon's lair and must fight for survival. It's a spectacular production with a strong leading role and a great atmosphere of survival fantasy.
