This week’s Netflix drop has some big-ticket items for action and crime-thriller fans.
The streaming service’s mid-month drop is lighter than its beginning of the month smorgasbord, but that doesn’t mean there’s not plenty to watch. From a zombie heist movie starring Dave Bautista to an Arnold Schwarzenegger action film, this week is certainly one thriller and action fans should be pleased about.
