Man cannot exist on period drama and weepy Oscar bait alone. Sometimes, what you want – nay, need – to see some bones get cracked and a couple of buildings explode. At the end of a long, stressful week, there’s nothing more therapeutic than flopping on the couch, powering down the ol’ thinkin’ machine and throwing on a big, loud, tinnitus-inducing action movie. Good thing Netflix has a ton of them at the ready.
But even when you don’t want to use your brain for a few hours, that doesn’t necessarily mean you want to watch something bad. Ridiculous? Of course. Over the top? Sure. But action doesn’t have to be a euphemism for dumb. These ten movies currently streaming on Netflix might not give you a ton to think about, but they are assured to provide a balls-to-the-wall adrenaline rush that’ll leave you sweating.
