Stowaway may not have received much buzz surrounding its April 2021 release, but the sci-fi drama from Joe Penna is a thought-provoking tale that has the benefit of being set in the visually-appealing edges of space. While Stowaway falls victim to some pacing issues with a slow burn, the moral dilemma at the center of the story when the ship headin...
Rawson Marshall Thurber's Red Notice isn't a hit with critics, but Netflix subscribers are sure getting a kick out of the big-budget action-comedy. The movie, which was one of the highly-anticipated titles of the year for the streaming service, was an easy sell with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot in the lead. While building...
Zack Snyder was one of the biggest names in 2021 due to the release of his long-awaited Justice League director's cut. On the heels of the movie's release, Snyder debuted another passion project in the form of Army of the Dead on Netflix. This one allows the filmmaker to return to his zombie subgenre roots while funneling the world of the undead in...
Army of Thieves marks the second installment of the Army of the Dead franchise and a prequel to Zack Snyder's original title. Though Army of Thieves wouldn't have been possible without Army of the Dead, Matthias Schweighöfer's movie benefits from a smaller scope. Schweighöfer, of course, starred in the movie as safecracker Ludwig Dieter, a fan-favo...
Technically, three separate Fear Street movies released on Netflix in July, but considering they were marketed as a cohesive story split into three distinct eras, it could be counted as one title. In all honesty, all three of Leigh Janiak's Fear Street installments deserve a spot on all best-of Netflix lists. Not only do the movies do an excellent ...
Though Ricky Staub's Concrete Cowboy made its debut during TIFF in 2020, it didn't make its wider release on Netflix until the spring of 2021. The movie, starring Idris Elba and Caleb McLaughlin, is based on the brilliant book titled Ghetto Cowboyby Greg Neri, which, in turn, centers on Black horseriders in a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania neighborhood...
Out of all the Netflix movies on the list, Don't Look Up features one of the biggest gaps in terms of critic and audience reception. The latter of which has bought into Adam McKay's satirical sci-fi much more than critics. While some may have considered the plot of the planet's impending doom a bit of a reach, others embraced McKay's dramatic yet c...
Not only does Passing deserve to be considered as one of the best Netflix movies of 2021, but it could also make the argument for one of the best movies of the year outside of the streamer. The beautifully poignant story serves as Rebecca Hall's directorial debut, but it is truly brought to life by the brilliant performances by Tessa Thompson and R...
Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog could very well end up an awards darling in the coming months, and any wins would be well-deserved based on the balanced Western. Based on a novel from 1967, The Power of the Dogpresents an emotional and unsettling tale that perfectly uses the strengths of its leads, particularly Benedict Cumberbatch. The actor p...
Netflix has been churning out its fair share of animated original movies, but The Mitchells vs. the Machines goes above and beyond the typical cookie-cutter quality that often hinders the genre. Created by Mike Rianda, the sci-fi comedy puts a family on a surprise journey that touchingly helps prove that love can still be found within dysfunctional...
