11 Best Revenge Movies On Netflix That You Should Watching Update 04/2024

Best Revenge Movies On Netflix

Two graves should be dug beforehand before embarking on a revenge mission, according to the renowned Chinese philosopher Confucius. Most revenge-themed movies we watch are no exception to this. The reason we watch these movies is probably because of that. In the actual world, most of us would avoid the thought of retaliation because of the potential implications. Because of this, we seek inspiration from films about badasses and rebellious characters that fight for what they believe in, whether it’s for the greater good or just to quell their own nagging demons.

One thing unites all of these ruthless creatures bent on vengeance: they have nothing to lose. They are willing to dig two graves if that’s what it takes to recoup some of the losses they’ve suffered. But since most of us have a lot to lose, let’s just be ourselves and see it all on the big screen. Let’s get started with the best Netflix vengeance movies. On this list, you’ll also find films about women getting revenge.

1. Black Panther (2018)

Black Panther (2018)

Every now and then, a cinematic villain comes along and steals the spotlight away from the protagonist. The Joker comes to mind when you think of this (Heath Ledger). With his logical explanations for his crimes, Erik Killmonger is yet another popular villain. However, while having less screen time than most other MCU bad guys (with the exception of Thanos), Killmonger has an impact on the audience that is perhaps even greater than that of other villains (Hint Hint: Winter Soldier and Loki). A lot of credit goes to the character itself and the sense of purpose it had, but Michael B Jordan is also a big part of the reason for its success. T’challa comes within inches of being killed by Killmonger in his pursuit of Wakanda, who has already claimed the life of Zuri. For the sole purpose of retribution for the death of his father and for justice from a “family” that had abandoned him as a youngster.
