The 13 Movies & TV Shows Coming To Netflix This Week Include A Brand New Ryan Reynolds Action Flick
Ryan Reynolds is basically the new Dwayne Johnson in that he seems to have a new movie coming out every other week. This past summer, Reynolds starred in the Pokemon movie Detective Pikachu and cameoed in Johnson's Fast & Furious spinoff Hobbs & Shaw, and the actor has a whopping four films due out next year — one of which, Red Notice, co-stars Johnson. But in between those projects and hidden among the new movies & shows on Netflix this week, is a brand new action movie starring Reynolds... no Johnson this time, though.
The movie is called 6 Underground, and it's about a group of vigilantes led by Reynolds who travel the world defeating bad guys. Each of them has a distinct specialty that aids in their missions, making them similar to a 21st century version of The A-Team, with one key difference: everyone on the team is dead. OK, they're not actually dead, but they've all faked their deaths in order to erase their pasts and start their lives anew as members of Reynolds' team. The movie is directed by Michael Bay, which means fans can expect lots of the typical "Bayhem" of explosions, chase scenes, and cartoonish violence.
If you're not in the mood for a big action movie, fear not, as Netflix has plenty of other selections to choose from this week. Take a look below for a rundown of all of them.
