A list of Netflix original thriller films to help you choose what to watch differently this weekend. If nothing new in the catalog has pleased you in recent days, check out these options: forgotten by time, but quite interesting. Next, the Tangerine presents 10 thrillers that are worth playing on the streaming service.

10 – Spiderhead (2022) – 39% approval on Rotten Tomatoes

This title was not well received at the time of its release, even though it was directed by Joseph Kosinski, acclaimed for Top Gun: Maverick. It is a technological thriller that analyzes the structural corruption that exists in the universe of Silicon Valley tycoons. Chris Hemsworth plays a ruthless and eccentric genius. The Netflix film combines comedy and tension.

9 – Whose luck? (2022) – 59% approval

Taking advantage of the restrictions imposed by isolation, director Charlie McDowell used a limited environment to create this interesting thriller. The plot follows an incompetent thief (Jason Segel) who holds a wealthy CEO (Jesse Plemons) and his girlfriend (Lily Collins) hostage to obtain their fortune. The socially awkward situation is used to generate an absurd sense of humor, commenting on the relationship between wealth and class.

8 – The Pale Blue Eye (2022) – 62% approval

Presenting a unique perspective on the murder mystery genre, the Netflix film mixes authentic historical figures with an investigative plot that borders on horror. A young Edgar Allan Poe (Harry Melling) collaborates with investigator Augustus Landor (Christian Bale) to examine the mysterious death of a student at a prestigious military academy.

7 – The Devil of Every Day (2020) – 65% approval

A film full of twists and turns that examines several morally bankrupt individuals in a small town in the post-World War II period. The story is remembered for the terrifying performance of Robert Pattinson, who plays an abusive priest who uses religion to justify acts of depravity. The film is not an easy experience, addressing horrific themes, and does not seek simple solutions to the problems presented.

6 – Night of Wolves (2018) – 69% approval

Jeffrey Wright stars as Russell Core, a tracker hired to find three lost children in Alaska, including the son of Medora Slone (Riley Keough), who suspects wolves took them. The mother is determined to find the boy before her husband returns from military service. The production is more artistic than commercial, with explicit violence and a slow pace.

5 – Operation Border (2019) – 71% approval

A captivating heist thriller that has more complex themes than it seems. The plot follows a group of ex-military men, including Redfly (Ben Affleck) and Pope (Oscar Isaac), who plan to plunder a South American drug trafficker. Director JC Chandor creates moments of suspense and intrigue, but the film delves into the difficult lives of veterans, who realize that the nation they defended no longer supports them. This action-adventure masterpiece faded from memory after its initial release.

4 – The Soldier Who Didn’t Exist (2022) – 83% approval

The film is based on the true story of Operation Ground Beef. During the height of World War II (1939-1945), British military officers Lieutenant Commander Ewen Montagu (Colin Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley (Matthew Macfayden) devised a secret plan to send false information to the Nazis. The interesting thing is that the thriller focuses on espionage, showing a different perspective on war.

3 – I No Longer Feel at Home in This World (2017) – 89% approval

Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood teamed up in this 2017 thriller. Melanie plays Ruth, a loner who is disappointed by how low humanity can be. She recruits her quirky neighbor, Tony (Wood), to help her track down her property after a robbery. The film transforms its initial comedy tone into something quite dark, being a showcase of the chemistry between the protagonists. The mastery of tone changes makes this work an underrated gem for fans of the genre.

2 – Rebel Ridge (2024) – 95% approval

The narrative is inspired by classic vigilante thrillers, but addresses a very current and real conspiracy about money seizures by police officers. The former veteran, played by Aaron Pierre, uses all his abilities to stop corrupt officials, although he refuses to kill. The success of the work on the platform generated important debates about the issues portrayed.

1 – They cloned Tyrone! (2023) – 95% approval

John Boyega, Teyonah Parris and Jamie Foxx play an unlikely trio who uncover a government brainwashing conspiracy linked to a fast-food chain. Although Foxx’s character adds humor, the action sequences are handled with complete seriousness. The film is an intelligent critique of systems that manipulate public perception, creating comparisons with dystopian works.
