Looking for a great movie to watch this June? Look no further than these thrillers, some of the best movies on Netflix, including A Simple Favor.
Summer is heating up, even as the box office cools down. You want to stay home and watch a movie this weekend instead, right?
Each month, we hand-pick a few thrillers on Netflix that feel right for that time of year. Maybe there’s a connection with a new release. Maybe it’s good summer viewing. Maybe it’s new on Netflix. Or maybe it’s just that good.
This month’s selections include a new shark movie, a thriller comedy new on Netflix, and a standout Liam Neeson thriller from the creator of The Queen’s Gambit and Monsieur Spade.Editor’s pick: A Walk Among the Tombstones
Director: Scott Frank
Cast: Liam Neeson, Dan Stevens, Boyd Holbrook
This dark neo-noir is a bright spot in Liam Neeson’s late-career swerve to action and action-centric thrillers. He plays a retired NYPD detective who now works as a private investigator. When he’s hired to investigate a brutal murder case, he’s pulled into a dark web of crime and conspiracy.
Based on Lawrence Block’s novel, it’s the rare Neeson action (or action-adjacent) vehicle that actually allows the Oscar-nominated actor to flex his acting chops. Neeson’s Matt Scudder is troubled, but determined… and you really don’t want to mess with him.
