5 Netflix crime thrillers you shouldn't miss

There's always a scuffle inside. What should we watch over the weekend, or any day for that matter? We reckon these Netflix crime thrillers ought to catch your attention. You will love them; if you have not already seen them, and if you've seen them, chances are, you already are in love with them.

From Jon Bernthal to Daniel Craig, you'll find these movies are going to keep you at the edge of your seat. It's not always action-packed like James Bond, though (sorry, that's not in there). Sometimes you have to guess more while sitting back, and you can't unwind while watching these movies.

So let's finish the jibber jabber here and now and just get on with the list. We hope you will enjoy the films, even if that's not really your go-to genre.

Netflix is streaming a classic among them

Baby Driver

Don't judge a book by its cover, and certainly not a person by his name. Baby Driver will send you on a joyride on the road, thanks to Ansel Elgort's Miles 'Baby,' who serves as one gateway driver where the most badass will hold on to their seats while he is driving.

Other than action, Kevin Spacey, Jon Bernthal, Jon Hamm, Jamie Fox, and more are reasons to watch this on Netflix. That film went on to win the award for Best Editing during the Oscars.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

Yo! Mr. White isn't there; he's very dead, but you'll find Skinny Pete (Charles Baker) and Badger (Matt Jones) for sure. That's the only spoiler we'll lay out there for you. Fans of the Breaking Bad universe already know the significance of this thrilling epilogue.

The Netflix movie tells the story where Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) is restarting his life after getting scarred for five Breaking Bad seasons that ran from 2008 to 2013. Again, Vince Gilligan wrote and directed that so you know how things can get in his universe.

Se7en

It's been almost three decades since it first came, and many of us still want to know the answer to this question,

"What's in the box?"

To the ones who haven't seen it, go take a look at it yourself.

The film revolves around the seven deadly sins that are at the core of the victims this killer is hunting. From performances by Morgan Freeman to Kevin Spacey, one simply cannot get enough of it no matter how many times they watch it.

Lost Girls

This Netflix thriller is based on true events that will leave the viewers stunned. Amy Ryan portrays Mari Gilbert, who is looking for her missing daughter. While she is finding her, one thing leads to another, and she eventually brings light to some unsolved murders that happened on Long Island.

To this day, the killer remains unidentified, much like the Zodiac killer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area between the 1960s and early 1970s. Interestingly, a movie based on that, Zodiac (2007), starring Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Jake Gyllenhaal, and more, is streaming on Netflix too.

Knives Out

Captain America and James Bond in the same house. That's one of the many reasons to watch Knives Out. The movie is a modern take on the classic whodunit genre, with a star-studded cast that includes Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, and Ana de Armas. It's the first film in the critically acclaimed franchise that recently got a teaser for its third.

The third film is called Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. People better prepare themselves before it comes out. Interestingly, the second film, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022), is on the platform too.
