Edge of Tomorrow, The Rundown, and the best action movies on Netflix in September 2024

As someone who’s been through countless action movies and can recite lines from “Die Hard” like it’s my own life story, I can confidently say that September 2024 is shaping up to be an action-packed month on Netflix! The current top three action flicks on their platform – “Rebel Ridge,” “Edge of Tomorrow,” and “The Rundown” – are already generating quite a buzz among fans like myself.

As we move through September, Netflix has been flooding its platform with fantastic content. I’m not sure if you’ve checked out their top 10 movie list recently, but at the moment, three high-octane films are sitting at the top that are absolutely worth watching. These movies were all debuted on Netflix this month, and here’s the cherry on top: a few more action-packed films are set to be released by the streamer soon.

Wondering what those films are all about? Don’t fret! Here’s a roundup of some top-notch action movies available on Netflix this September.

Rebel Ridge (2024)

Characters include: Aaron Pierre, Don Johnson, AnnaSophia Robb, David Denman, Emory Cohen, Steve Zissis, Zsané Jhé, Dana Lee, and James Cromwell.

By September 11th, Rebel Ridge has taken the top position on Netflix’s most-watched movie list, indicating that many viewers have been enjoying this fresh action-thriller. The film made its debut on Netflix just four days prior and quickly climbed up the rankings. Jeremy Saulnier, who wrote, produced, directed, and edited the movie, tells the story of a former Marine who must deal with a corrupt police force while working against time to secure bail for his wrongfully imprisoned cousin.

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

At the moment, “Edge of Tomorrow” ranks second among Netflix’s top movies, gracing the number 2 spot on their top 10 movie list. This is a science fiction action film, inspired by the Japanese science fiction light novel “All You Need Is Kill” penned by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. In this movie, Tom Cruise plays Major William Cage, a man with minimal combat experience who works in public relations. During a combat mission against an alien race that has invaded Earth, he finds himself trapped in a time loop.

The Rundown (2003)

Right now, “The Rundown” holds the top spot among action movies on Netflix. This action-comedy features Dwayne Johnson playing a bounty hunter about to retire, but he takes one last job: rescuing his employer’s son from deep within the Amazon rainforest. However, this task proves to be more perilous than expected.

Uglies (2024)

In a thrilling sci-fi adventure coming to Netflix on September 13, 2024, I can’t wait for “Uglies”! This movie is an adaptation of Scott Westerfeld’s 2005 novel and follows the story of a teenage girl named Tally Youngblood. As she anticipates her mandatory cosmetic surgery, Tally finds herself searching for a missing friend. However, as she delves deeper into the mystery, she uncovers the darker truths about her society. The more she learns, the more she starts to question whether she truly wants to undergo the transformation herself.

“Officer Black Belt” is an upcoming South Korean action-comedy movie, scheduled to premiere on Netflix on September 13, 2024. This production is the work of director Jason Kim, famous for the Netflix series “Bloodhounds.” The plot centers around Lee Jung-do, a skilled martial artist who takes up the role of a contract martial arts officer following the observation of his skills by a probation officer. In this job, he uses his martial arts abilities to combat and prevent crime.
